Haha.  I was looking for a swatch of 001 on medium skin and couldn't find it... so I just ordered.  It looks dark... I wonder how it differs from the brown one, I think 011?

[malday]

Just in case you'd like some lip swatches...

Spoiler

011


and

001




When blotted and reapplied 001 looks a lot more dark burgundy, but since it's so creamy on its own it just looks kinda reddish here.

[Miradan]

Thank you! 011 was too brown/dark on me -- 001 looks more like I was hoping 011 would look like. Still trying to decide if I need to order 001.

[roseps135]

Thank you!  Yea 001 looks red on you...  I guess i'll just have to wait and see how it looks on me.  My skin is darker too...

[malday]

Well, there's some crazy flash in the picture of 001 haha, I'm closer to mocha's coloring, just a tad lighter though.

[Mochapj]

Rose, here is 001 and 011.  001 is on top in both pics and 011 is underneath.

[roseps135]

thank you!

[Gwenhwyfar]

Rose, these are not on medium-toned skin, but I have a swatch of '011' next to '001' here:

[roseps135]

Thank you!!  On Gwenhwyfar and Mocha they look very similar... same amount of darkness, with 001 being slightly redder....  Which is what I was going for.    But on Malday's beautiful lips 001 just looks red!   But my skin is darker than hers so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.... I wish the stores had these available for swatching...

[Mochapj]

I can compare them in the morning, but in the meantime...

The long swatch there is 011.  I'd have to go check the original photo, but I don't think any of those are 001.

Ooh that last swatch is pretty..what is it?

[Mochapj]

Bite scarlet

[fatimamummy]

Thanks Mocha, your swatches actually help me decide how they look on our coloring 🙂

Can someone please swatch Nars x Steven Klein eyeshadows in Stud and Never Too Late? Thanks!

[Mochapj]

I have one, somewhere... Lemme look 

first two shades 

[annypoo]

Mocha, how do you like the nars eye palette?

[Mochapj]

Annypoo it's nice but I don't find it unique, except for the second rose goldish shade.

the other 3 are pretty dupeable in the permanent line

[etscore1]

Shoot, are you referring to the shade that's third from the right? 

[Mochapj]

Ets, yes.  It's the only one in the palette I find unique.

the others are quite similar to permanent shades (second last one is perm)

[annypoo]

Thanks, I can probably skip the palette.
