Clinique Lip Gloss in Goldspun, $15 "I just adore a sheer, gold gloss on everybody," says Maderich. "A sheer gold looks beautiful on its own for a Saturday brunch; on top of a pink lipstick, it looks like candlelight." And Maderich guarantees that a gold tint is flattering on all women. "Whether you have golden or pink undertones, gold flecks will add light to the skin. If you need a 4 o' clock pick me up, put a little gold on your lips to make your whole face pop."

I actually like the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick

Some very useful information in this article -- the tips as well as the products. I have a full face, and it never occurred to me before that wearing a focal-point lip color could help sculpt it -- while the nude lips that I like could make it look "like a beach ball." Yikes!
