Solutions for SUPER pigmented lips please!
So I was at school with parrot eyes and walking home. I overheard these 2 snobs saying how I look like a total whore because I had "Bold eyes with bold lips... what a trashy look." I don't take it personally because these girls were bare-faced.

Uhh... I had 3N lipstick + 2N lipglass... I don't quite understand why that is "bold" but i'm guessing my uber rosey-plum lips give the illusion of darker lips.

So far I've tried using concealer on my lips uhh yeah.. it made my lips chap and I don't tink concealer is safe to eat.

Any suggestings on how I can neutralize my lips? I would love to be able to get true nude lips.

Thanks,
Anna

Several companies make a concealer-like product for the lips to tone down the color. They are pretty effective.

MAC makes their own, but it can only be bought through the Pro store. You could try calling a free standing store. I've heard of them carrying a few odd Pro items once in a great while ...

It's called Mac Lip Erase. I'm not sure how it works, but most of Mac's products are pretty dang good

Re: Solutions for SUPER pigmented lips please!
i use benefits 'lip plump'. its the same nude shade and mac pro lip erase. and its ALOT easier to find. my closest mac pro store i like 2 hours away. so the benefit one is way more accesible. and its in liquid form and the same size as a mac lipglass. so i like it better than mac's which is in a pot.

I use Mac's Lip Erase, it does wonders! There are only two shades, with your lip color I'd choose Dim.

ive used this and find that its rubbish, it neutralizes a lil bit but when i put any lip product on top it flaked so my lips looked diseased. i guess it must work for you though
