There is a way to wear those lip colours. Seems a waste to not use something as beautiful as a tube of Rouge Allure.

I tried Hysteria, applied sheerly and then blotted for a more stain-like finish. Then went over it with a silvery white gloss.  Body Shop's new Shimmer Gloss in Iced Sparkle is more sparkly, Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Soirée (an old favourite) is more shimmery.Voilà -- darker than natural lip tone but not goth-y and with some depth and shine.
