(>'.')> 2 looks! Bold lip & purple/pink <('.'<)

[user79]

I did these a while ago so I can't really remember all the things I used.

First one is a bold red lip that I very rarely do, I usually just prefer a more natural gloss. But whatever, change is good!

This one's taken in bright sunlight...

And a closeup of the eye

Products

Face: Clinique stick foundation, Revlon Skinlights fluid, L'Oreal True Match powder, L'Oreal True Match concealer, MAC Blushbaby blush

Eyes: MAC Paint in Stilife, Shu Uemura Me Brown e/s, MAC Jest e/s, MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, L'Oreal Voluminous mascara, Carbon e/s on brows, Rimmel white eyeliner on lower waterline

Lips: MAC Paint in Untitled as a base, Rimmel lipstick in Scream


And this is a second look I tried out. I'm not too fond of it, I just think purple e/s looks horrible on me and I'm never going to buy anymore purple shades.

Face: Same as above, except I think I have Nars Orgasm blush on my cheeks with a bit of MAC Pink Swoon blush.

Eyes: Paint in Mauvism, Mystical Myst e/s, Jest e/s to highlight, L'Oreal Voluminous mascara, Blacktrack Fluidline, Carbon e/s on brows

Lips: Some L'Oreal Viva Glam lipgloss stuff I got from my b/f's mom, not sure what the shade is, some bright sparkling pink stuff. I'm not too fond of it but wanted to try it out.


Comments & critiques welcome.

I second that! You're really stunning, reminds me of the 40's movie stars, with a bit of mystery.

The purple look is nice but I think you should've pick another shade of lipstick, maybe a light peachy one or a transparent beige.

You look gorgeous! Love how your skin glows! What kind of skin regimen do you use? I ask because ......are you using something special because it really glows!

 

[Minrlluv2]

All the pics look very sexy!

 

[MiSSJDM]

BEAUTIFUL!!
YOU SHOULD DO MORE OF THE RED LIPS
IT LOOKS GOOOOOOOD ON YA DOLL!

THE PURPLE LOOK IS PRETTY TOO!!
Maybe you could try other shades of purple?
Like, something more vibrant [stars & rockets?]
or a darker shade [satellite dreams?]
=) I'm sure those colors will be fun to experiment with.
I agree with Esperansa on the lipcolor.
I absolutely love the sparkly pink lipstuff in the 2nd pic.
I think that color would be amazing with a more neutral eye.

Great make-up & pics hunn!!

Nothing really very special, but I guess it works for me. I wash my face with the Dove Self-Foaming cleanser at least once a day. I find it doesn't strip my skin yet gets off all my makeup (ecxept waterproof mascara, I use something else for that.) I have combination skin - some oily spots in the T-zone but dry patches besides on my cheeks and above the lip. In the winter my face is more overall on the dry side.

I use Olay Complete moisturizer with spf 15 for daily wear, and a L'Oreal age defying cream for night as it is more rich and hydrating. I have very fair skin so I have to be careful not to get sunburn, the spf 15 is great for that, and I use it all over my face and neck ever day, even when it's not sunny out. (UV rays are still harmful even in cloudy weather!)

I don't go tanning or anything like that, it totally ages your skin. I'm 26 now and want to prevent any early signs of wrinkles or pigmentation. Plus, I just don't tan well because I'm very fair.

Hmmm what else? I drink lots of good ol' tapwater (none of that expensive bottled stuff, the tapwater here in Switzerland is delicious!) Sometimes I exfoliate using the St. Ives Apricot scrub, but only like once a week or every 10 days. Over-exfoliation can actually really irritate your skin and cause itchy red flaky patches on your skin, so I only do it when I notice my skin on my face is getting a bit rough.


That's about it really. I'm lucky not to suffer from acne or anything like that, I rarely ever get a pimple. Maybe 1 once in a blue moon, altho I do have some small blackheads on the side of my nose but that's normal with most people I think.

 

[lost in hollywood]

gorgeous! i looove your coloring (dark hair, light skin, ESP the eyes!)

 

[theleopardcake]

I cannot stress how beautiful you are! You always look so refreshed and awake. I love your lips as well. Very pouty and plump

 

[Rockell]

You look beautiful!! That red lip is very flattering on you, and I like the purple too...it really brings out your eye color.

Awesome!
