How to make frosty lipsticks work for you ?

                                                  


Let me start with my current "coral obsession". As they say,Coral is THE color of the season and I can't agree more.
I have been hooked to Bobbi brown "cabana coral" collection but sadly couldn't lay hands on it. BOBBI BROWN come to INDIA :@
Oh.How I went gaga over the shimmerbrick in "Nectar" *sigh**double sigh*


There and then I wanted coral lips.But how ?
I dont have any coral lipcolor.At this time I remembered some of my hopeless lipsticks.The one in THROW section.
And I saw these.

No,too frosty for my taste.
But then what is coral ?? orange with red/pink undertone
what I lust ? Coral red .
Bingo.
I can apply this orangish frost color with a Red lipstick and can get My personalised color.
Thats what I did and see the results.

Colorbar lipstick in"rock you baby"- Frost orange with lots of gold shimmer

Oriflame lipstick in " cranberry crush" - Deep cranberry is how I can describe it at its best .


                                                                                               
             Swatches



 The Farthest left is the cocktail of the other two lipsticks.Rest are swatches.

A perfect red coral for me.

Now go,make your Frosty lipsticks work,.Don't forget to apply frost lipcolor first and then the actual shade you want (it can be any matte pink/mauve/red/brown)

How to rock the Red Lips

                                                             Smokey Eyes and Strong Lips                                                       


I have never been this scared to post my pic on this blog.
Reasons :-

• Strong make up
• RED lips 

Yeah , the dreaded Red lips .
I am not even 18 , ok, Dont thrash me if it don't look good . I can NEVER ever wear this look out of my home, Just because of the simple reason that  it 's TOO strong for my Young demeanor :P

But maybe , when I am 23 , I will dare to rock it outside my own shell . Till then , Pinks , coral and peaches are my only friend :)

This post is just for experimentation and testing my own limits , After all thats what blogs are for . I would love your tips and thoughts on this particular strong look . But please dont be very brutal with my attempt

OMg , I am sooo scared .
Ok , now on the topic .


WHAT WILL YOU NEED ?

• Red tint / Matte red lipstick ( Bourjois and TBS make a good one)
• Lip brush
• Angeled brush  ( To define the cupid bow , Thanks Rati for this tip )
• Loose powder( I used Oriflame loose powder)
• Fluffy brush (to dust the powder on the lips)
• Tissue

I used a very inexpensive lipstick , Oriflame Hydra comfort lipstick in Cranberry crush , Its not a true red but I used it like a tint ( applying with a lip brush , blotting and then powdering . I repeated this step couple of times and stopped when I got the desired depth )
Then applied the Oriflame Giordani Gloss supreme in "Absolute red" with a lip brush.
and Voila ! I got the sexy Red pout  ;)


FACE

• Ponds TM
• Colorbar Blush in Just earth

EYES

• Herbal kohl as base
• Any black shadow on upper and lower lashline
• Loreal Volume shoking
• Eyelash Curler
• Oriflame waterproof top coat
• Colorbar eye glide on color in "blackout"

I think You must have noticed , My neck doesnt quite match my face , My neck has some strange yellowness to it .
No matter How wisely I try to choose a base , I end up looking like Simpsons, If I try to match the face with neck *sigh*







Pardon the bushy brows , been growing it back after the beautician trimmed it down to 2 straight lines :/
