It's a natural red lip tint. Not firery. If you want a deeper red apply more. If you want a more natural look, apply sparingly and then blot off excess. The stain will remain on your lips

Cool. I can't wear orange-y reds and this definitely is a cooler shade that looks very flattering on folks who need the blue undertones in their red makeup.

It is a cool red, w/blue base. Not orange red. Very good if your teeth are not the whitest. I would say, it is a true red with raspberry undertones.

I'd describe it as cool. I generally need cool reds, as my skin has blue / pink undertone. The Fiery is the best matte red I've found. There's nothing orangey about the color.

I would also suggest the tarte "24.7 Natural Lip Sheer SPF 15 ". They are $16, have great color payoff, work well for every day, and would probably work nicely with fair skin tones (since they are not particularly overpowering).

It depends on your skin tone. I know you are fair. Are you a cool fair? Or a warm fair? Neutral? If you have a neutral tone, you can use any of them. If you are warm, you can do hope. Hope is described as being a warm shade. I am very fair with pink or cool undertones and hope looked terrible on me. If you are a cool fair, try the bright pink option. I know it looks scary, but it works on cool fair skin. If you have yellow undertones and are fair, go with hope. If nudes do not wash you out, exposed is nice. If you cannot do a nude (I get washed out), then avoid exposed too. Envy is a color I would normally gravitate to, as it has mauve in the name but it also has berry and it is a bit bold. If you like a bold lip, envy is good. It was hard for me to imagine a mauve berry. I think it is more of a rose mixed with berry and a tiny hint of coral. I do not think it is mauve at all.

I have hazel eyes and fairly pale skin, and I use Hope. It is natural looking, yet totally brightens the lips up. Yes, it looks like you added color, but it's not too much, in my opinion.

Tarte has a lip product called 24/7, which is long lasting and moist-feeling. Link is here: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P38469&categoryId=B70 .
Champagne Brunch is very natural looking, but there may be others shown on the above link that you may like as well.

Question
Did this dry anyone's lips out?
I fot the Fiery shade, and it's the first time I've ever actually found a red shade that looks red on my skintone. I loved it. I noticed a bit of a tingle when I put it on, but I figured it was just a plumping ingredient or something. By the end of the day, my lips were chapped and flaky. Am I the only one this happened to?

It did at first but then I realized I was putting it on over chapped lips, so I used a sugar scrub and a heavy balm at night and it worked perfectly.

I have been wearing Firey everyday now and i haven't experienced any drying. I think your problem might lie in the lack of moisture in your lips before you apply the LipSurgence. Make sure your lips are properly moisturized before you apply. I suggest Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment every morning before application and night before bed. If you apply a balm and allow it to be absorbed before you apply your LipSurgence you will lock in your moisture with the color. Be very careful applying gloss or balm over the top of your LipSurgence, blot well if you do. If you do not blot it will end up all over your teeth.

This did not happen to me. I had worried that the product would be drying, given how matte the texture is. It does not look moist on! But I've worn two different shades of the tint -- often for 10 hour days and with only two applications per day --and not had any chopping.

I can't say for sure, but it really sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the product :( This product is supposed to be moisturizing and for me it was wonderful; it lasted all day and felt like there was nothing on my lips (but they stayed soft and moisturized all day).
Sorry hun, but better luck finding the right red for you!!

These are a little drying without a little balm underneath. I usually put some one, then wait a few minutes before color application. For some reason, the other LipSurgence colors (the sheer, shiny ones) over my matte lip stains don't affect the length that this stuff stays, so I really love that. I have Exposed(nude) and Glisten(sheer/shimmer).

Charmed is from the natural lip tint line which has a semi-matte, satin finish it is also semi-sheer. Lucky is from the matte lip tint line which is a totally matte finish. Matte lip tints are opaque

answer 2
Lucky is a matte color with little or no shimmer while Charmed has a glossier finish with shimmer. It just depends on your preference, some people don't like matte- I love it, but in a lighter color like this it may have a tendency to look dry if your lips aren't exfoliated.

Is there supposed to be a white film?
I recently bought Lucky, and I love it. However, there's a whitish film or coating on it. It doesn't affect the color output, but I notice it's a little drying compared to my other Tarte matte lip tints...it's kind of similar to when old chocolate blooms. Is this normal?

I hate lipsticks, they get everywhere and don't look natural. This is an actual stain. Apply a small amount, wait a little then blot off. Your lips will be stained without the excess on them.

I'm not 100% sure if it is in fact gluten-free, however, none of the promotion for it says it is. tarte will usually add "gluten-free" on their descriptions, so for this to not specify may indicate that the product is not gluten-free.
