Charme is a great color for pinks that look wonderful on fair-skinned women.

Natural Mauve would be very nice! I am the same coloring as you and I find that color very flattering.

I like Origins Plum but I'm not looking for a pink per se, more of a mauve. The reason I bought this was that it looked to me to be closest to mauve while not being too dark.

If you want a liner, it would be Lancome's natural mauve. Color your lips with it under your gloss and it will change the color, or line your lips and it will hold your gloss longer

Charme is the most 'pale/neutral' shade offered here, but as I mentioned in my review, keep in mind that it is *so* neutral and pale, it may cause your lipstick or gloss to appear brighter or a different shade because most women's lips are slightly darker or pinker than their skin, so "nude" lips are actually a shade of mauve or pink.

You may be happier then with the Mauve shade, which in person is closer to most fair-skinned people's lipcolor than Charme, which is literally "nude" (i.e., could make your lips nearly invisible). The brush allows you to control the 'severity' of the line, and blend it well into the lip so you don't get that telltale "liner" look.

The exception is if you are in the habit of lining the outside the edge of your lip (versus on the lip itself), or you don't fill in your lips with lip pencil as a 'base' under gloss or lipstick. In that case you're probably fine with Charme.

Remember you can always return what you don't like on you, so you could order both and return the one that you don't need.

Try Ideal or Charme first - if those are too light, you might want to try Portelle to give you a little more color.

Hi there, I have light beige skin and dark hair/eyes, and I have this in the color Charme, and find it is bright enough not to wash me out, but still enough rosiness to add some "oomph" to the lips.
Additionally, this color works well with most pink and rose-toned lipsticks and glosses.
Hope that helps!

Bronzelle is my favorite. It is a pinkish brownish nude with an elegant bronze tint to it but is it matte so you don't get any of that teenage look. It is my only lip liner and I LOVE it! Lasts forever too.

Very natural with just enough color. Can wear it with any lipstick.

Raisinberry goes with nearly everything, since it has both brown and berry in it. If you smudge the lip line with the brush after applying, you will get a soft look that will blend with all lipsticks. So all the brownish and berry shades will work with Raisinberry.

I had the same problem! I ended up using one of the sharpeners I got with my Dior eyeliner pencil.

Must be sharpened using the Lancome sharpener because its designed to preserve the tip, not chew it up and waste product.

It does come with two plastic covers (one for each end). However if it is a rough environment they can become cracked. I miss the days when they had metal covers because they stayed on and didn't become damaged. I believe you can get the lip liner in a metal tub that has a metal cover, but that doesn't come with the brush. The bright side is you don't have to sharpen it.
