Is it Copper Charm or Toffee Tango? That is the question. I mean I know Jessica is wearing a nude shade so automatically, I selected "dark" and perused through the selection of neutrals on the site. None of the shades seem to be the one that she has on in this ad though...
Like I thought. Neither. Dammit, Maybelline!
According to Blaq Vixen Beauty reader CREOLESU9AR, Jessica is wearing Color Sensational Lipliner in Nude and Color Sensation Lipcolor in Nearly There. Thank you for the information, babe!
I thought about listing some products that you could use to replicate Aaliyah's look. Immediately, Jessica White's Color Sensational ad came to mind. Either that's actually how Nearly There looks on Jessica with clear gloss or that's hell of a PhotoShop job!
This bring me to another point: I absolutely hate when beauty companies produce these gorgeous (although airbrushed) ads that are misleading. If you are someone you know have Jessica's skintone, will both of you look just as fine with Nearly There gracing your lips? I thought about this after Kia said that she doubted that Jessica really is wearing Nearly There.
Like I mentioned earlier, Nearly There isn't among the nude shades recommended for dark skin. When you buy a Maybelline lipstick (if you do), do you pay attention to the shade recommendation for you? Or do you just choose a shade that catches your eye, regardless if Maybelline thinks it will flatter your skin tone?
*Edit:* Kia purchased Nearly There. Kia is lighter than Jessica but it looks just as fabulous on her as it does on Jessica! Still searching for the Twitpic (or TweetPhoto) for proof!
