For Valentines Day, my sweet mom bought me my very first RED lipstick. Now if you've read this post; some of you may know that red lipstick is kind of, well, intimidating for me.
But I can officially say I found a shade that I love, love, love! I tried so many different red's on (from MAC to Stella)...some were a little less "loud" then others. But I figured, if I am going to do red I might as well go all out. Go big or go home right?! So I decided on Dragon Girl by Nars. I LOVE that it's a liner and a lipstick...it goes on so easy, and it doesn't get on my teeth (yay for that) and it stays on for forever!
And I took some of your great advice...first chapstick, then lined my lips, filled them in, and here ya have it...puckerlicious!
***I know, it's a little up close and personal to my seriously freckled face; but hey a little closeness never hurt anyone...right?!?! :-)
Wow, this color looks great on you! I seriously need to try red lips too! I am always such a scaredy pants when it comes to wearing lip stick. I usually go for more neutral colors when I wear lipstick (wich isn't very often). Hugs, Hanneke

I see the other pics, but not the puckerlicious one? Am I the only one?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, good for you! I still haven't worked up the courage to wear lipstick.
That's a beautiful shade and it looks lovely on you. It complements your hair color so well!

That is a pretty color! I love that you have freckles and don't hide them! (me too!) Have you ever tried Red Apple Lipstick?

I'm a huge fan of red lipstick! When I first went to purchase some, I realized that there are a million different shades of red and you just have to find the one that compliments your skin tone. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteFrom Brooklyn with love,

ReplyDeleteHot Momma!! Love that you ventured to red!! I was so hesitant at first and every red I tried looked pink. So glad you found one!! You look beautiful with red lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a great red! Like you, I'm of the freckle variety (never apologize for showing us your freks up close - beautiful!) so it's been hard to find one that doesn't make me look paler than normal. Dragon Girl, on it!
ReplyDeleteI must say, with or without red lipstick you are stunning! You've also inspired me to try and find my perfect red!! XO

thank you you all...such sweet comments that I don't deserve! But they made my week! Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR FRECKLES! Too cute. I always wanted them growing up... still do :)
ReplyDeleteI love red lipstick and I feel like anytime I buy one it's too pink. This red looks perfect though. And your freckles are great. I had a lot on freckles on my cheeks growing up. They've mostly faded now, but my mom used to call them my "angel kisses." :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous colour indeed!!! I love red lips, but in me I have the same problem you had, I don't know, it seems it doesn't fit. Normally I use more around pink or just gloss
ReplyDeletebeautiful
you are so pretty, that color is perfect on you!
