Maybe that fits in the darker category you mention? But yes, it seems that the bluer ones are more likely to work for more people, but I don't want to say that just because this one suits me perfectly, it will do that for everyone.<br /><br />I'd like to try the NARS, but I don't envision them having a 50% off sale any time soon.

Cool reds are a more flattering shade for a more diverse range of skintones. Orangey reds can really clash with more yellow-toned skin, and can emphasize yellowing teeth. Cool cherry reds, like Hot Damn, Ruby Woo, and Dragon Girl are considered the most flattering because darker blue-toned reds can look more vampy on pale skin (and evidently there are people out there that don't want to look vampy)Savannah Scorpionnoreply@blogger.com
