Oooh man I need that. Pretty!

[makeitup305]

@Mochapj it looks nice. Is it duo-chrome?

[Mochapj]

It is!  It has like a blue purple pink shift thing going on.  

I can try to catch a photo of just a swatch; duo chromes are so hard to photograph, LOL 🙂 @makeitup305

[makeitup305]

*sigh* so pretty. This might be my last purchase before my no-buy.

Anyone have hot voodoo from Nars? I'm really interested in this color but I've only been able to find pictures of models wearing it.

[Mochapj]

@Blackwhiskey I have it.  Were you wanting to see a swatch or an on lip?

[Blackwhiskey]

both, if you don't mind! @Mochapj

[Mochapj]

Left swatch is indirect light, right swatch is full sun @Blackwhiskey

its sort of a copper/rose gold color

[Blackwhiskey]

@Mochapj thank you! it really is a beautiful color!

[Mochapj]

You're welcome 😉 it really is a gorgeous shade.

Nars does some of the best shimmer lipsticks!

[Mochapj]

Leaving for @kso1225

Thin swatch is amazing grace and other is something wild, which has a lot of gold glitters in it.

[kso1225]

Thank you so much! Something Wild is really pretty! 

[lachaton]

Oooh... SW on top and AG on the bottom?

[Mochapj]

Lachaton let me check on my laptop - on my phone they are side by side, lol

[lachaton]

Desktop has top-bottom for me 😉 Is the skinny, more opaque one ( more pink) AG? I see shimmers in the thicker swatch.

[Mochapj]

Skinny is AG - on one side there is a faint light blue line where I was swatching eyeliner 😉

Can someone swatch KVD Bow n Arrow and Lolita on light warm skin? Or someone in similar tone to me? Any swatches are appreciated. I'd love lip swatches as well if it's not too much of a hassle. I just hope Bow n Arrow isn't too dark and brown since that's not what I'm looking for

[kso1225]

@Melissa136 

I have two Lolitas that are definitely different colors so I swatched them both. I got the darker one in the mini duo with Lolita 2 and I think it's the more common shade for more recent purchases. The lighter one is a full size I purchased a year or more ago.

Top to bottom:

Lolita (dark)

Bow and Arrow

Lolita (lighter)

The darker Lolita. I like the way it looks here, but I don't care for it much in person. I think it's darker and maybe cooler or more mauve/purple in person - it looks harsh overall on me...I think it would be more flattering on skintones darker than mine. I'm around an NC20 in MAC, NARS Finland, Armani Luminous Silk 4.  

Bow n Arrow:

I think that picture is closest to reality, but some of my pictures look a little darker and pinker like this

And a full face with Bow n Arrow since I think it helps judge the color better:

[Melissa136]

Thanks so much! I have Lolita (dark one), so I was hoping Bow n Arrow wasn't as dark as Lolita.

I do like it, when swatched it looks brown, but on the lips it looks like a neutral nude. I like the look of it on the lips, so I might get it!

[meganlisa]

I just tried bow and arrow but don't have lolita.  I wanted to comment that it swatches very different than it looks on.  Swatched on my skin (slightly warm, but different from yours most likely) it looks quite brown.  Wearing it, it looks slightly mauve in undertone.  

I'd be curious to hear if others have that happen.

[kso1225]

I thought the same thing about Bow and Arrow. It swatches more brown on my skin but when I wear it, it's not as brown.

I can do swatches later when I get home if no one else has.
