You know when you see a beauty expert do something in a video tutorial that looks totally simple and then you go and try it yourself and screw it up completely? This is not one of those things; virtually un-screw-up-able.
Not long ago, I saw the lovely Taylor Barringer from Refinery29 transform a typical-looking "vampy lipstick" into three different makeup ideas. However, it was the blush concept that really stuck with me. Soon after, I went to Target and purchased the same lip color, as I was utterly fascinated with the whole idea (doesn't take much, folks). Turns out, this trick is not only for goddesses, but is practically mere-human-proof. Take it from me, you can not fail.
What I love about this is that it's so subtle. I love that such a bold color can be totally transformed into such a delicate glow. Anyway, happy blending! : )
P.S.- If you'd like to see the original video, find it here.
Oh my, what a great idea! I'll have to try that!
ReplyDeleteYou should give it a try! Very simple.
DeleteLipstick as blush for the cheeks is something we did during school recitals long long ago...it was of course not subtle then, but it was an idea, nevertheless!

Love your blog, found it on Bee's blog:)
I would love it if you took a peek at Shubhi's Revels!

I remember my own recital makeup as well...subtle was in now way how I would describe it.
DeleteThanks so much! Will do : )
