new lipstick color on low vit A? (other cosmetics too?)

 I've just noticed my lipstick was looking orange on me.  Has anyone else noticed that their lipsticks (and other cosmetic colors) need to be adjusted after being lower vitamin A for a while?

Even in the past, (before vitamin A detox) I have sometimes noticed that my lipstick color won't be working and need to be adjusted.  Particularly, come autumn, I have needed cooler (ie less orange) lipsticks than the rest of the year.

My guess would be that even in the past the sun has baked some of the vitamin A out of my skin by fall.

I wonder if I will be able to stick with the cooler lipstick all year round?

I also wonder if people who need lower vitamin A are "cool-colored" and have little use for orange pigments?

lil chick that's amazing. Does your eye color look different too?  Sephora has skin colortyping and keeps a record of the tone. They have a device that picks up blue or yellow tones in the skin and matches with foundation or  lipsticks.Once you have been colortyped, if you log into their website, enter the tone code, lipsticks and foundation are highlighted for you.   I typed yellow in the past and am waiting, going to redo it after a few months on this.

I don't THINK I've noticed an eye color change, although others here have.  

My non-inflammatory facial regions are less red.  Lips are paler.  As for yellow in the skin, I think it varies still.  This is especially visible in the lower third of the face.  (I wonder where Sephora looks?)

I think I have had a teeth color change-- I am interested in what Grant mentioned:"it's easier to keep the teeth clean".  Maybe what happens over time is a microscopic sponginess of the teeth.   I bet this is why oil pulling is a popular thing to whiten teeth.

I think it ALL matters when you are trying to harmonize colors to yourself!   I believe that I have been swerving too warm because of wrong yellow overtones and that I am, in reality, cooler.

I do sometimes wonder if lipstick is bad for me and I only use it now and then.  I wonder what the colorants are.

photo, on the left, yesterday's lipstick, on the right a photo I took of me wearing lipstick in the spring.  When I tried to wear that lipstick yesterday, it looked too orange.  Do you see how my chin is a different color in each photo?

That's a very noticeable change from warmth to  cooler skin. And what a beautiful complexion. Did you notice the brightness in your hair? Lil chick if my hair was that color I wouldn't want it to darken, no way.  You look beautiful!

thank you Saraleah!!  My hair might be slightly prematurely white!  🙂  It may go back to gray.  But all gray hair colors are beautiful, and perfect for that person.
