I've always gone with a shade of lipstick that's close to my natural lip color. Maybe a shade darker or lighter. I'm not very adventurous with lip color, though.

I would go and play at the dept. store. They can show you a lot of different ranges of color on your face. I'd do it on a weekday when they have more time and less crowds.

I have small lips too. I usually emphasize my eyes instead. I've read that lining just outside the natural lipline helps, but I am not good with lipliner. So, I don't do that.

And I'm a fall and I don't like colors - go figure!

It was suggested that as a silver hair I am a cool. I do remember being told that before. When my hair was dark, I was winter. Amazing what hair color can do...its not just skin tone!

I have a thin upper lip. (I had a BF who teased me about it...grrr...thats like me pointing out a male ID's butch's "breast" size...stings, ya know!) I have a hard time with colors too because of it. I try staying close to my lip shade, with muted pinks but in winter, (I dont know why it makes a difference) I can wear dark colors and they look good. I LOVE the cool colors...but am afraid to wear them. Something inside says I am too old for them.....

I am loving these 2 new skin care products that I bought over the holidays!

Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology
MMPi.20™ Skin Regenerating Serum 3.4 oz

Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology
Sensitive Skin MMPi-20® Comforting & Renewing Serum

-----

You can find Wexler's products at Bath and Body. I have sensitive skin and these two products are working really well...no irritation and non-greasy.

I would use fancier products if I wasn't afraid that I would waste money on the wrong product.

But I have fair sensitive dry skin, so I've been using
