THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

alright, here it is. use this thread to request swatches. the guidelines are up to you and your needs: single swatches, comparison swatches, specific skin tone swatches

when comparisons are requested, feel free to provide whatever you have of that request--i want anyone to participate and contribute if they want to. have fun, hope this is helpful !

i'll start: can someone provide me NARS dolce vita (lip) and NARS audacious jane ?

i thought jane would be too orange for my complexion but after recently falling in love with dolce vita (the matte pencil version) i'm reconsidering this type of shade. thanks !

Are you looking for dolce vita in blush, lipstick, etc?

I can swatch the blush and Jane for you - but if you're looking for someone closer to your skintone, just let me know 😉

oh, whoops ! dolce vita lipstick and / or matte pencil. i have those, but was interested in seeing dolce vita lipstick (may it be the sheer lipstick or velvet matte lip pencil) next to audacious jane.

Thanks Jem for the thread! The beauty board pictures are mostly filtered and it's hard to find accurate color swatches.

Im looking for Nars Audacious swatches in Anita and Julie and Givenchy Le Rouge in Brun Vintage and Brun Creature.

oh i don't mind skintone. i can still get an idea of how close they are...

I'll have to sit this one out 😞

I don't have DV in lipstick or pencil formula (though I have been eying that Steven Klein DV set...)

What a pretty wash of color!

Dalidyli,

here is Anita. I have swatched her next to Brigitte because Temptalia claims it is a 96% match with Julie. I have swatched Julie and Brigitte together before and Julie is only a tiny bit lighter (on me). Hope this helps!

top and left, Anita

bottom and right, Brigitte

On me it really is a wash...very natural. Not the longest wear...but great to keep in a handbag...

jemly — Sun, 18 Oct 2015 17:31:54 GMT

oh i have another one:

NARS velvet matte pencil, dragon girl

NARS audacious grace

i have grace, but would like to see the 2 next to each other if possible. skintone doesn't matter 🙂

Bwhahaha that 4% is all I needed to hear. I NEED! Thanks Mocha!

THAT one I can do 😄

DG is on the bottom; slightly darker, more matte. Not by a lot.

I would love a comparison of these four shades so feel free to post if you have any one of them: Burberry Lip Cover in Bright Plum, Burberry Kisses Lipstick in Bright Plum, MAC Diva Antics (I have this but not the others), Guerlain Rouge G Gigolo (Disc.)

this is helpful, thank you !

(i'm also amused i was correct in thinking they're similar).

The bigger my NARS collection gets, the more I am starting to notice that he makes the same color, across the various product lines.

I know recently I came across a few... there is a VMP dupe of Jane, for sure.

BaseballMommy — Sun, 18 Oct 2015 18:51:29 GMT

What's the dupe? I love Jane, so now I'm curious:)
