Dark Winter Lippies

All of the lippies in this series are recs from the ladies of the 12 Blueprints Facebook page, Christine Scaman, or my own swatches. 

If you're a Dark Winter, most of these colors will work on your lips  -  and your cheeks too, if you use them as blush.

Some may be a touch too warm, too cool,  too light or dark.  This is normal, because the variation of human coloring within a season means that not all women in a season wear the same colors on the face equally well. 

Some of these  are discontinued. Check eBay.

Try before you buy, if possible. 


Please do share feedback on the recs, or additional recs, in the Comments section.
