Name that Lippie !!!!

[katred]

another issue: Age? I have read from internet guru's that when one is "mature" one must use "lighter, sheer, glossy colours". I do the exact opposite.. lol. I am must be very immature but I love my reds, fuschias and brights.

does anyone have any thoughts on this. I don't want to wind up like every mature woman with nondescript lips. My lips must lead the charge into any room.. lol.

The older I get, the less mature I get? Personally, I find that I like bright colours more as I get older and, since bold colours offer better definition of the lip, I don't see why we shouldn't wear them as we age.

What I've discovered after years of playing around with more muted tones is that my colouring and complexion looks best when I use strong, clearly defined colours. Softer colours are actually trickier, because I find they age me, or make my face look heavier. (In the last year, I've been reading a lot about colour analysis and the psychology of colour, which has been a great help in figuring out what works best for me.)

Whoa thats beautiful!

Thank you the packaging is a bit different from the Revolution ones : purple and a sword, lol launched ages ago and I swatched it for the thread, actually I don't wear it any longer ( smells weird ) but Gash, I recall everyone wanting it. They did relaunch it this spring but I didn't purchase it though.

Definitely bright shades brighten the face, I read on a French blog that " quote " red is a trivial and vulgar " colour..... Poor girl, really.

I totally agree .. light shades drown me out and don't make me look .. err, happy. I look sad and drawn and what I could do before with a deep smoked eye and pale lips, I now have to use a shade like Mehr to deepen my own lip colour.

After several futile attempts at hunting for my AFU (I have the bu but can't find the one currently being used.. ha.) I will post Mehr which is a pink mauve/browny.. which is my all time Fave of any nudes. I don't consider nudes a "white out" effect. I need some strenght in my lips no matter what. Skin NC 15-20, lips mauve pink. No liner (can't you tell.. lol). Lasts for 6 hours even when I eat.. if not more. Drinks only 8.. lol.




I also love this one which of course is also LE: Pink Pigeon, but is easily dupeable imo. Hot pink with blue undertones. NC 15-20 skin, no liner, on pink mauve lips. Matte finish.. amazing lasting power.





finally another LE: Mac Ablaze used with Ablaze liner.. NC15-20 skin, mauve pink lips.. great coverage and lasting power. Knock your socks off in two seconds orange corally red.

Thank you in fact Gash is very deep, back in 2003 or so it was seen as the boldest red ever. I would have the previous- previous packaging ( very simple and classy ) but I lost it when I moved out from my apart. Things have really changed, at that time UD was really innovative IMO. Here is the np, Vintage too sorry off topic !

HELL NO! Keep doing what you are doing hg!
My grandma always wore RED lipstick bright red in fact.
Just because you are mature doesn't mean you have to be an old bitty with no lipstick lipstick ya know.

I actually think mature women who wear bold colors are happier.
I would like to think when I mature that it would be acceptable by the beauty world to wear my bold brights and darks.

Absolutely Dolly

I had my lunch and then took a meeting, and used a fave colour of mine after lunch. This one is Opera Rose #29 YSL. It is just luscious going on, very velvety and gives a smooth but not shiny finish. No liner on mauvey pink lips. Nc 15-20 skin.




and as promised to sirfryedshana.. this is Rose Asarine YSL .. it's newer in the lineup but just as lovely .. at least I love it. lol. No liner. Pink mauve pigmentation on lips, NC15-20 skin colour. This one has good lasting power and leaves the SAME colour as a lip stain on lips which is wonderful for me as I eat and talk them all into nothingness.

Lovely HG----I really like YSL lippies a lot!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

YSL Rose Nellia, no lip liner.

That's really pretty too!!!!
