Well after going out to see Dazzle Glass I just *had* to post again! The first look is really bold.

The second is really soft and gets Lollipop Lovin' to show up the way I want it to.

More pics! How lovely they all look. The long stem rose slimshine is my favorite, but they all look hot.

 

[dominichulinda]

speaking of longstem rose..I smashed a little of it yesterday..so mad lol

 

[AfricanaEyes]

I'm definitely rockin' Electro and Pink Grapefruit this summer. I thought for the longest that darker skinned beauties couldn't wear orange lipstick, but I'm starting to embrace it a little more.

very prettyyy!!

i'll probably end up doing my regular nude lips or with a light tinge of pink to add a little color.

 

[blazeno.8]

[dominichulinda]

im not really a lip stick person but i have glaze lipsticks that i prefer which are really sheer and just put a neutral l/g over it. Sugar Trance from Fafi, Sock Hop l/g from Heatherette, and Bonus Beat l/g from Heatherette all show up slightly nude or pinkish on me. Especially that last one. Otherwise i'll just put on a l/g with out any l/s underneath. I have yet to find a l/s that i like that goes with my skin tone but isn't too much.

dominichulinda, you have the best lip swatches. I love the combos you picked.

blazeno.8, thank you for starting this thread! What a great idea. I can't wait to add a few of my own. I have a couple that I think people will really like.

Seriouslyyyy.....dominichulinda and blazeno both have awesome lip combinations. I am buying like 5 lip products just because of this thread. These are so hot for summer!

 

[blazeno.8]

Anytime! I just can't wait to see what you guys do! I'm always looking for new ideas.

I thought that I would go more coral-ish for summer, but I'm actually finding myself doing nude or MLBB this summer.

Some faves:

- 4N l/s with a bit of 2N l/g
- Ultra-Elegant Slimshine
- High Tea either alone or topped with C-Thru l/g
- C-Thru l/g
- Sock Hop l/g
- Taupe l/s (this is the boldest of the bunch!)

I'm NC37, pigmented lips, for ref.!

Btw, this is my first time posting in this forum, and I *love* that Specktra has a forum just for us!

 

[Mizz.Yasmine]

the bombshell 1n combo is freaking hot!

Lollipop Loving & Pink Grapefruit (ala Hilly) This is the best shot I could get, but it's hard to get accurate pics with Lollipop Loving

 

[CantAffordMAC]
