I’ve been struggling with this lipstick ever since I bought it. A lot of the time, if a colour isn’t quite right on me, I’ll give up on it, and give it to my friend or my sister. I bought it in the Viva Glam Gaga set that came out last Christmas, mostly because I love Gaga and because I wanted the cute makeup bag that came with it.
Here it is alone. It just looks… corpsey? Not attractive.

Here it is on the lovely Nicole, with a clear gloss over it. Now, I realise the lighting is VERY different, and our colouring is VERY different. BUT WHAT THE HELL. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE SOMETHING DOESN’T SUIT ME.
I’ve tried layering it over various liners, and that works out okay, I guess, but changing it from a neutral seems pretty pointless, now?

You wouldn’t even know, would you?
Eyes: Silk Naturals Magpie, Sleek Bohemian Palette brown, MUA 3-in-1 liner in Gun Metal.
Cheeks: MAC Harmony, MAC Pinch o’ Peach.
Lips: MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2, Jordana Lips Out Loud in ASAP.
I *think* I’ve just about got away with it here. I’ve layered it with ASAP by Jordana, a super sparkly holo pink gloss which I think everyone should pick up. Yay? Nay?! Aaargh! I’m really terrified of looking like this:
Sorry random internet girl, but I am not digging the jizz lip look personally.
When a product doesn’t work for you, what do you do? Stubbornly plod along with it or give up?
lol funny :) anything that doesn't work I tend to give to you lol
ReplyDeleteNo joke, most girls in our town walk around like that bottom photo.
ReplyDeleteI think you've pulled it off perfect! There was a pale blue/white lipstick I used to wear that was from a little girl Emily the Strange cheap make up pack...and I actually loved it. It looked corpse white (which was the shade name!) but when layerd with a bright red it turned into a gorgeous pastelly pink. I think you can pretty much make anything work - and if not, try and exhaust every avenue before you give up and pass it on!

I don't think it looks bad on you, but I know I am more sensitive about how nude shades look on me than other people are... They'll say I look fine and I won't believe it! It's so hard to pull of a really truly nude lip :( Even though I think it looks fine on you on its own, I *really* like it layered with the gloss on you! I will have to try to find that Jordana color.
ReplyDeleteWoah, you look stunning and luminously gorgeous in your full face pictures. I think the lip color suits you really well. Definitely no jizz lips. Not nearly pale enough. ;)
ReplyDeleteOH GOD, I have a trillion makeup colours that look like balls on me but I tend to wear them anyway even though they aren't flattering because I like the colour of them!!! COLOURS THAT I LIKE SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK GOOD ON ME!! I think I have this lipstick somewhere....or do I? (You know you have tooooo much makeup when....)I actually do think it looks good on you in the photos.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool!
