Ornamental l/g

[melozburngr]

Ok, so I bought this on a whim the other day... just felt the need to buy something, I'm sure yall know the feeling.. anyway... I'm not so sure I like it. it tends to look blotchy.

Any ideas on what to wear with/under it, to make it look fabulous?! lol

Onramental is lovely by itself worn very sheerly it gives just a natural flush, worn more heavily it gives a light rusty red color. It is also great with lipcolors like Honey Flower and Fresh Moroccan.

Ornamental is what I am wearing in this look: http://specktra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40770

It is all I was wearing there. I applied it moderately thickly. I took me a little bit of working with it to get it right, but I really do love it. In what way is it not working for you? Maybe I can help you figure out a way to make it work?

I wear it on top of "O." It looks gorgeous.

martygreene- it just always looks blotchy, its weird, no matter how I apply it.. argh.. so frustrating- I really want it to work, but it just won't! lol

kedra70... O is so pretty, but I'm not sure I can pull it off (I'm NC15) its a bit dark for my white white white ass.

LOL!!!!! What if you dab on a bit of O and finish it off with Ornamental? I think that might soften it a bit (using very little O, but more Ornamental).

LOL! Ok, I have to say it: Why are you putting it there?

Whew! I couldn't hold that in any longer! As you were...

It is a bit tricky to get a hang of, just try going slow. I tend to "line" my lips with the lustreglass first, then fill them in. I use the brush to adjust it around, until it's even. I don't "smush" my lips together with this one, becuase that can make it look blotchy. You might try using a lip primer, or some lip conditioner underneath. Helps it slip better I find. I hope you can get it to work, it's a great color. It took me a little while, but once I got the hang of it, I loved it!

vicuna- lol , you're terrible

Martygreene- thanks for the advice, Ill have to try that!
