Chic Blue Toned Pink Lip Look!















Blue toned pink lipsticks are a very recent discovery of mine, I had quite a few in my collection but never could get them to work without looking Essex... I find that with my complexion they work better in winter than summer... A cool toned pink lip can be very uplifting and refreshing, but I do find that the mattes are the most flattering... My current faves are Revlon Matte Lipstick in 002 Pink Pout, which is a pastel rose with light lilac undertones, and 011 Stormy Pink, a little brighter pink with fuchsia undertones... Both shades are gentle yet have enough colour to brighten up the face, and I find blue toned pink lipstick shade also makes blue eyes pop... 


When I wear a pink lip I like to keep the eyes quite simple and chic with the classic black cat eye flick and an luminizing eyeshadow shade that also helps to make you look more rested and fresh! I applied MAC Eyeshadow in Retro-Speck [Lustre] a beautiful champagne gold with fine silver glitter particles and MAC Sweet Satisfaction [Pro Longwear] also a champagne gold eyeshadow but slightly darker... Both look beautiful with just a black eyeliner... 

Speaking of which, I used the La Ligne de Chanel in 10 Noir-Lame... It has the matte black and the sparkly black shades, but as you can see the sparkles seem to be sitting just on the surface... The eyeliner is dry and you just need to wet the brush, I use the brush that comes with it, it's tiny but absolutely perfect for drawing a beautiful intense long lasting black line... And Mr Barney says Hi!
