Cool Toned Brown Lipstick

[Swtshae]

Help, I am in search of a cool toned brown lipstick. What do you recommend? Thank you!

@Swtshae  Does the finish (matte, satin/cream, liquid matte, gloss, metallic) matter? 

I went through some of my bullets, knowing I don't have many cool toned browns. In fact, the only one I consider a true cool-toned brown is a Mented shade. Still, I pulled a few of my brown bullets to swatch for you. Just for tone reference, I included a very warm toned brown by Uoma and a slightly plummy grey by Nyx, so you can see how the other browns lean warmer or cooler. 

I probably shouldn't have included the PMG LuxeTrance since that entire line of lipsticks was discontinued. 😞 Eh, that shade's closer to burgundy than brown anyway. The PMG MatteTrance shade Divine Brown is closer to a true brown, but it's also warmer toned so I doubt it'll interest you. 

Here's how Mented #5 looks on my lips:

Lip swatches taken in beauty lighting, though the Mented photo still pulls a tad warm.

I might take a second run through my lipstick hoard and see if I have anything else in the cool brown range. I didn't run through all my MACs... MAC Satin shade Film Noir comes to mind, but it might be too warm. 

Have you looked at any Sephora Lipstories shades? If you've got a Sephora store nearby, stop in and swatch a few of the browns. Vacation Goals is a taupe and Undisturbed is a deep brown. I could swear there used to be another brown that was more of a grungy greyish cool-toned brown... don't recall what it was, and I don't see it on the product page now. Hmm.
