She also always says that I can pull off a bright red/coral lip. I do adore those vibrant, vintage shades and will rock them on my fingertips any day but every time I put 'em on my face I run into two problems. 1) Getting past the Dooo I look like a cheap hooker? dilemma. It's the kind of color that when done right looks amazing. However, having the self awareness to see if I have achieved the awesome verses the street walker effect is tricky business.
Once I've overcome that hurdle, a second problem arises.
2) What do I wear that doesn't clash with my face? I feel like I need a new wardrobe to pull of the trend. Can I make it fit with my comfy cotton-based wardrobe? As far as I can see, not much that I own works without making me revisit problem #1 again.
The end result seems to be hookerfacemombum, which isn't the desired effect. Help please? What's your favorite vibrant shade? Do you feel like you have to chose your outfit around your make up when you wear bright oranges, reds or corals? How do you fit them into fall? I'm picturing a lot of navy and peacock blue.
Speaking of my darling, red lip wearing, lovely Lou, THANK YOU ALL for following her here and joining me in this new venture! xx
beauty! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is no way you would ever pass for a hookerfacemombum LOL although I love that phrase! hehehe With that said, I used to feel the same way when I started to wear red lipstick again after years of barely there makeup and lipgloss (5 kiddos and no time to really go all out with makeup when they were little) but now they are all pretty much grown so I devote more time on my makeup (like playing with crayons for me). Now I'm really loving the Fall vampy lip trend... pairing it with barely there subtle eye makeup and loving it! You totally rock the coral/red lip. Looks very retro and gorgeous on you, Lou was spot on! :)
ReplyDeleteYou? Can wear it.
ReplyDeleteI? Can not.
Ha. You look lovely with a bright tone on those lips, missy! Louise is right.

I think the color looks great on you and I loved it in the picture you posted of yourself sneaking a moment in the "restroom."
ReplyDeleteLouise is right. You look great :) I love your picture :)

Are you kidding? You pull off color very well. And the mom bun? Yeah, that is a fashionable topknot.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely pull it off. It's very Marie and a tiny bit mischievous girl right out of a fairy tail.
ReplyDeleteI actually think you look like an angel. x
ReplyDeleteYou totally rock that colour. Not a cheap hooker in sight!!!! Cassie x
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing, so beautiful! xx

Bold lipstick looks with a few wardrobe suggestions in there as well. That color is FABULOUS! Louise is right.
That colour looks amazing on you! I need to go to one of those genius beauty counter people who can look at you for 2 seconds and go "THIS is the colour for you my dear!"

My current favorite lip for the fall season in a Tarte lipsurgence matte lip tint called Fiery. It isn't vibrant, but it is bold. I have always enjoyed a bold lip. I don't think you need to worry too much about it matching your outfit, consider it a great accessory. Life is too short,if it makes you feel good do it.
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous in that lippy by the way.
when in doubt pair it with neutral colored clothes :) Black , grey , brown , white ... stick to monochrome and make your lips your pop of color :)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand what you're saying with the lips. I own a GORGEOUS fuchsia from Rimmel, but I never know what to wear it with so I've never worn it outside my bathroom :P On a related note, I love your lips. They're gorgeous. Not to be creepy or anything, I just have serious lip envy.
ReplyDeleteNot hooker face, you look gorgeous. As for what to wear you can wear any color except the exact color on your lips. Unless its red. Red works with Red lips, but then you walk a fine line between slutty and hot. I'd go for more coverage. Top or red jeans and a black top
ReplyDeleteWhat color is this?
