Sunday's Red Lip Look
​Today I took a break from my gold/neutral eyelook choices and opted for a dark eyelook. I saw a similar look in an AD and decided to just go for it.
The eyes and lips don't seem to compete in this look, and I like it better than I thought I would. I kept the cheeks quiet w/a soft somewhat neutral blush.

YSL Couture Palette Fétiche:

Bright Copper e/s to transition
Warm Gold to highlight brow bone
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector, Pressed Opal (Soft Gold) to inner corners
Chanel Stylo Yeux WPLL Eyeliner Or Blanc 987(White-gold)to water line

FACE:
Algenist Pore Corrector Anti-Aging Primer
Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Fluid Foundation, Meyon
YSL Touche Éclat’ Radiant Touch Luminous Praline in small triangle below eyes, set w/Ben Nye Powder, Banana Visage
MACProSculpting Cream, Richly Honed to contour, set w/ Guerlain Terra Cotta Bronzing Powder
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector, Pressed Opal (Soft Gold) to highlight facial high planes
Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush, Accent - 84 (Rosy Brown)

Pretty, it's getting out of control. I've actually started giving products to my daughter who is way less interested in makeup, but I'm now starting to see more
interest than she's ever shown in the past.

Man she has no idea what she has in you. LOL She needs to become interested quick! How old is she though. I've always liked l/s and gloss, but didn't really get into the rest until I was in my 30's.

I think I'm going to try the challenge this week. Orange/Red orange lips are my fave. I'll try to play with the coral too.

I'm likewise in the "corals aren't crazy about me" camp. It's funny, because they're assumed to be so universal. Then again, there's such a huge range within that term. I don't have many oranges, but there are definitely some that work for me. (In fact, I'd say that on the whole I have better luck with oranges than I do with corals, strangely enough. Pretty sure I'll be pulling out Toxic Tale, which I haven't worn in forever. I finished up my red week today with Armani Rouge Ecstasy in The 400. I had a lot of reds I wanted to wear, but I couldn't end the week without using some variation of 400. Such a classic red. I wore it with a very light, somewhat shimmery white and icy pink eye. Worked a lot better than yesterday's look, which I found didn't quite come together.

Today I wore OCC Manhunter, and in the future I will wear it over another lip product because it is high on metallic but low on pigment. So I had, like foiled lips to go with my green eyeshadow. I loved it! I was going for a look, though (yes, holiday ornamental). I am so excited to start this week! I have my corals on deck. I may go all week with coral and no orange. I can do that!

but I'm gonna try to find a way.
Shars wear what works for you!!!! I'll probably reach for orange primarily because I prefer it over coral, on me.

That sounds like a nice look to have ended red week on. The week went by so fast that I never got to wear a single MAC red lippie!

green nail polish...I do love those colors together.
