Lipstick Swatch and Try-on - Medium Olive

Swatching some of the commonly recommended lipsticks that I own on my winter face, sitting in natural light. I am much warmer, deeper, and more muted in summer so I would be curious to do this again in July.

First photo is the swatches on my skin. Second is me with no lip product so you have an idea of my natural lip color. And the rest are taken without any other makeup on.

For Pillow Talk, Pillow Talk Medium, and Whirl, I swatched the liner and the lipstick. When trying them on, I used both products.

Some of the more popular colors look absolutely dreadful on me (cough cough Whirl and Velvet Teddy). My favorites are Pillow Talk Medium, and Devoted to Chili with the Burgundy liner. If anyone has any recommendations on something like Pillow Talk Medium but deeper/darker, feel free to share!
