I found a product that's EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but it seems to be like two years out of date and OOS! It's the "Sephora Color Adjuster Lipstick in Matte Gray shade 926". Basically, you wear it under your lipstick to transform the color. I found swatches on someone's blog:



(pic #1 is the lipstick adjuster alone, pics #2 and 4 are different lipstics, and pics #3 and 5 are combined with the adjuster)

I want to try matte lips with subtle color, and I think this would be perfect for fall. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything like this anywhere--I can't even find gray lipsticks, period. let alone a color adjusting lipstick like this :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

Any suggestions? this product must be super old, since I can't even find it on ebay..

 
ohh thanks! the video/review was really helpful :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. it seems like the #15 is shimmery, do you happen to know if they have a darker, matte grey in the collection? still, it looks great over the tarte lipsurgence, I'll definitely have to pick one up now lol

Ooh, this is a great idea.  I'm going to be on the lookout for some color adjusters too, I have so many lipsticks that would be perfect if they were just a little darker, lighter, more matte, shimmery, less blue, more blue, etc, etc.  I have seen these around too, I want to say in a makeup artist's palette?  

Okay, you inspired me to do a search and I think I found exactly what you're looking for at a wholesale outlet website.  This is what it says -

Me again - here is the link to the website - I'm pretty sure it's okay to post since I have no horse in this race other than wanting to help a fellow MuTalker and possibly getting these babies myself, lol.

Lipstick seems to have a decent shelf life so even though these are discontinued, I personally wouldn't be worried about using them myself, especially as they are being marketed and sold as such and sold at a discounted price.  I know I have lipsticks in my collection that are older than these.  This could really make some of my almost perfect lipsticks perfect for me.  It looks like they are around $3.99 - $4.50 each.  

I hope this helps!  Let us know if you end up getting them and I'll do likewise.  I would get them right away but my sample closet is getting kind of out of control and I have some giving away to do before I should make any more purchases . . . 

 
Ah ha!  I found the exact shade you were looking for.  I haven't ordered from this site before, so I can't vouch for it, but it looks pretty good.  Here's the link - hope this works for you!

It's $3.99 plus $2.50 for shipping and handling and only has sales tax if you live in Florida.

Haven't any of you had any art background changing colors is sooooooo simple, go and but a color wheel from the art store and you will learn all about, tint tone, and shade.

No, art isn't a subject that I had in school. It is easy to find out information about how color theory, but to those of us who haven't had training, it can still be a newish concept.

 
This is a serious question: Why would I need a special lip stick/color to just change the color of other lipsticks? Why not just mix two or more shades I already have?

I'd have to guess these are sheer, so the other color could show through.  They make eye shadows that do this, too.  For instance, theBalm has their "overshadows" that put a bit of sheer shimmer over top.  I have them in honey and champagne, and they're nice.

I've recently been getting some of the beauty sub boxes, and they seem very keen on sending everyone hot pink llips all the time.  I'd LOVE an adjuster that could tone 'em down a bit!  And I'd get a lot of use out of it, too!

 
Somehow I quoted myself in a second post...  Ummmm - sorry!  Edit to get rid of that!
 
I posted some links to color theory as it applies to makeup in another thread, for anyone to whom this is new info.

thanks, but I'm not looking for the opposite of a color to tone it down, I'm just looking for something that will make any lipstick more matte and less vibrant :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

in order to have a shade mixed from two colors you have, you'd need to already own the colors that would make that shade--which I don't. I'm just basically looking for a matte, dark gray lipstick, to mix with other shades; what I want is less vibrant, darker, matte versions of the lipsticks I already own. I'm not looking to mix colors, so much as make them less vibrantly colorful, which you can't really do with two colorful lipsticks.

MAC and OCC sell these tubes of lip paint in different colors, which you mix with your own lipsticks. Like, they have a white one for making any lipstick lighter and more pastel-like. Conversely, they have a black one that makes lipsticks much darker. It's not really so much mixing colors, as it is altering one lipstick :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
haha I'm in the same boat--I keep getting these really bright, bold red lipsticks and lip glosses, and it's just not my thing. I mean, they're great lipsticks--suuper pigmented, long-lasting, etc. if the color was a just a tad toned down, I would totally wear them.

I'm sorry, I don't think they do. It looks like you've found what you're looking for though. I hope it's everything you hoped for!

 
to be honest I am not to impressed with the sample pictures.. you get get the same if not better effect using lip liners + a light coat of lipstick.. 

 
I'm assuming the pigmentation is buildable; the sample pics are exactly what I wanted, so I'm content. I know I could get the same effect with a lip liner or regular lipstick--the type of product is irrelevant, since it's more an issue of color. :/ I just can't find any matte, dark gray lip products. I want to essentially mute most of the color in lipsticks, to get a dark, ashy subtle lip for fall :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Funny!  I have never heard of such a thing.  I have about 5 lip liners that I can wear with just about any color.  I use these to adjust the lip colors. 

 
Estee Lauder came out with at least 4 color adjusters a couple months ago. out of my price range lol but maybe it's exactly what you're looking for. Best wishes!
