I had always thought my super power was being able to gauge just how much pigmentation a lipstick was going to have and what it would look like on me just by eyeballing it and I have usually been right... until recently when twice in a row I have been totally wrong!
NARS Petit Monstre from the
Holiday collection is described as a rich berry and looking at it in the tube I expected it to be a mid-toned sparkling berryish colour...
but on my lips it actually kind of defies description - pinkish nudish? I can't decide?!
Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Le Rouge L'Wren from the
Holiday colour collection - looking at it, I thought it was going to be super rich and darkish red...
but on my lips it is a beautiful berry colour - I expect a dark liner underneath could deepen it quite a bit but I I quite like it as is!
They might not have turned out to be the colours I was expecting but both turned out to be good surprises!
Ever had a lipstick turn out totally different on your lips then it seemed in the tube?

I like the NARS lipstick! It's a very pretty color and looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with the comment above, the Nars shade is really lovely on your lips. It has that unique shade to it:-)
ReplyDeleteLove those 2 shades, but the Nars one is simply gorgeous on your lips :)
