Red Lipstick? Need Your Help.


Okay so I have something to ask you, my dear readers. I'm a lipgloss kind of girl, and I don't use lipsticks, but I do have them as that's what I use for other people. A few weekends ago, I learned that the party I was going to had a 20's theme, so yes I really dreaded the fact that I would be using red lipstick! So here's the look I put together for that party:



I'm sorry I couldn't find I better pic. This was taken with flash, so it looks a little scary. So here's me wearing NYX Electra. So what do you think? Did I pull it off? Should I try another shade of red? Should I forego red for good? I'd really appreciate your input.

I'm having the same dilemma as well! I love red lips and I won't let go of it. Wear whatever makes you comfortable. I think wearing red is nice on special occasions. But if it's not your thing, then of course you can skip it! :)

I think you should try wearing other red lipstick that has different pigments. The one on the photo looked a little too orangey for your colourings. Perhaps a red shade that has more deep blue tint on it might look better on you?

serena, you really think so?

nina, yah i'll only wear it during special occasions. because i don't want to wear red everyday.

music, you think a blue tone will look better on me? okay i'll try it and post a picture to see what you're opinions are.

Gosh... so pretty. Lalo na you paired the red lips with a black number. Nyx's Elektra suits you pala eh.

Other than the whitecast your face makeup gave you, everything looks great!

Crystal said...

I think you look great Crystal. Although if you really aren't comfortable with red you can use it for special occasions only.

Crystal said...

Hmm...it helped that it did gave you a woman- ish look because that's the effect of darker reds.

You might want to try brighter reds since you have fair skin and it will look good on you more. :)
