Pretty self-explanatory, yeah? Here are 5 lip looks I've worn over the past month, including some hits as well as some really horrible misses. I've got a few more of these posts coming, but I'll probably alternate them with FOTDs that focus on eye makeup so you don't get sick of seeing my multi-coloured trout pout. Unless you're keen on seeing an absolute barrage of lip looks from me, in which case let me know? :3
I received OCC Liptar in Pageant in my November Bellabox and I've been really enjoying using it. I've been having fun layering it under different glosses, but here's a shot of it without gloss. It's brighter in real life, as unfortunately lighting is not great in my house at 5am. >__<
I'm wearing Pageant over Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in #2 Pink and NYX Rose Lipliner. On my cheeks I'm wearing the Hello Kitty Eyeshadow in Les Grenadine with Clio Professional Art Highlighter in #2 Soft Pink to highlight.
I have this weird phobia of red lipstick, yet I can't stop collecting them. I always feel overdressed if I wear a red during the day, so I reserve them for fancy night time dinners and outings. Unfortunately those fancy night time dinners and outings rarely happen, and I realised that my Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque was just going to waste.
I layered Dragon over an old school Revlon lipstain that I probably should have thrown out by now, and Designer Brands Fire Red Lipliner. I contoured and highlighted with NARS Laguna and Albatross respectively, and the blush was Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed.
This was a weird combo, but experimenting is fun! I took 3 lipsticks and just smushed them on my gob to see what the result would be. First I applied a layer of MAC Up The Amp, a pinky purple. Then I applied the tiniest bit of Rimmel Kate 04, a blackened purple. Finally I applied a liberal amount of MAC Summer Shower, which looks like a minty aqua colour in the tube but just shows up as a layer of pink and blue shimmer. I think I just used a bit of bronzer on the cheeks because I didn't know what the hell to wear with that lip combo XD
My application here is not the best, so please bear with me! For lips I used Etude House Dear Darling Tint in 03 Orange Red, NYX Orange Lipliner and Milani Colour Perfect Lipstick in Orange-Gina. The cheeks were Benefit Coralista mixed with MAC Springsheen and NARS Albatross to highlight. I used MAC Sable and Amber Lights on my eyeballs. :3
LOOOOOL. MAC Fresh Amour Mattene looked so hideous on me the first time I applied it that I just had to take a photo! It was far too cool-toned and white-based, but after rubbing it in a little and leaving it for a while it seemed to adjust more to my skintone. It still made for a dramatic lilac lip, but was more Lady Gaga than jizz lips. I didn't get photos of it looking ~wearable, but shall do so soon. The cheeks were Illamasqua Powder Blush in Nymph mixed with Skinfood Apple Can Multi Blush in #3 Lavender.

Since being practically forced into doing a bold lip everyday for work, I've fallen in love with lipstick so much that I continue to do bold lip looks on my days off! I could very easily go months without doing a bold eyeshadow look, but then my blog would be reallllly boring. Thankfully I have quite a few dramatic eye looks backlogged that I can post :)
