How to make C-thru work...

[LatinaRose]

I purchased C-thru for my kit even though I know it washes me out on its own. Whatever, it looks great on lighter girls. I think I just have too much pigmentation in my lips. Anyway, has anyone found any combos that make it work for darker skin?? Thanks!!

maybe you could get mac myth l/s to wear under it...hth

Line with Night Moth, Vino, or 80%. Then use Icon, CB 96 or New York Apple (three totally different looks) l/s. Then top with C-thru, use your pinky or a lip brush. Beautiful. Any combo of any of these and many more will work. I love the demensional look of frost l/s under creamy gloss.

Remember you can always adjust the intensity with how much pressure you use when applying the lip liner, how much you fill in with the l/l and if you powder over the lip-liner before using the other lip products. HTH!

i like to mix fetish n bronze shimmer l/s with cthru on top w/ cork as a liner, usually i just use cthru to tone down my lips if i go too dark cus it washes me out too

No digicam.

But here's a model I did for a hair product campaign she's trying to land. I used this technique on her.

BBQ Liner, Tanarama, Florabundance.

hi.. i'm nc37. i use c thru over hug me l/s for a pinky nude... it's so cute! i never wore c thru before because it washed me out too. i saw the combo for senaa lathan in essence mag (she's a bit darker than me) but it works on both skin tones =)))) try it!

i love c-thru, i use it alone sometimes, but i dont try to pack it on to make it look super bright..but when i use it with something..my main lip pencil is chestnut or just some kind of brown lip liner and blend it but i still like for the c-thru to show...this one is with a brown lip liner and c-thru that i did in a past FOTD

hope this helps!

*~*I just got C-Thru today (after a lot of hesitation) & I love it!!! What I do to make it wearable for me (I'm nc 45-50), is I sheer it out. I put on my Clinique superbalm underneath (to give it some gloss), and I slick a little bit of c-thru over my bottom lip then the top; with a light hand. I *hate* lip liners, so the gloss underneath makes it sheerer and it turns into a pretty shimmery beige. HTH!!!

I used it to creat a concealor lip for the panda eye look. I used a bit of studio fix on my friends lip added C-Thru on top, and a lil pink lipgelee on top.
