Tools of the Trade

I was never much of a pink lipstick girl. I prefer browns and berries but lately, I’ve been playing around with brighter/softer colors. I’m still not completely sold but I’m trying…

Do you change up your lipstick colors or do you stick with the tried and true?

    I use to always wear natural to bronzy tones.  BUT…I read an article a few years ago on “How to look 10 years younger” (haha…yes I did!), and it said sheer pinks in a tone or two darker than your natural lip color is the way to go.  I NEVER wore pinks…but gave it a shot.  Let’s just say I LIVE in sheer pinks now :)

      LOL OK, I may have to rethink the pinks now!

    Ooooo- I bet those berry tones look fabulous on you!  I like to mix it up- I do go through phases where I like a nice nude lip, then I go to berry, then I want a champagne gloss- I tend to keep the whole face soft- which my hubs doesn’t like. He loves heavy eyes. But I really have to have an excuse for that. I like to play with my make-up but at the same time- I’m a beach girl at heart- so I only wear just enough to look pulled together, but natural.

      My sister does a fabulous nude lip and there’s a lady at our church who also does one. I cannot get it right to save my life (it’s always the wrong shade or something just looks off). I love a nude lip. Getting to play with makeup is definitely one of the perks of being a girl. LOL

    I like a brow or pale peachy but not orange kind of color. Pink isn’t good on me but I love the colors in your shot. Great shot!  ;)

      I’m definitely a brown girl. I think my skin tone is too yellow for pink but I see it on other people and it looks so pretty.

    First… “Ooh! Bare Essentials” I used to LOVE darker browns, but lately, I’ve been into the sheer tan or soft shiny colors with a hint of orange. Sounds awful, but I swear the orange brings out the blue in my eyes… the whole complimentary colors thing. Great subject! :)

      My sister wears orange and she says the same thing, the contrast is great. I may have to give that a try. And, yep, I love myself some Bare Essentials. Best makeup ever.

    I’m definitely a pink lipstick kind a girl, and I’m in trouble if covergirl ever gets rid of my color!! ; )

      LOL That’s how I felt about this shade called “Coffee Bean”. Now I can’t find it. :-(
