Re: Similar colors for this look

Red lips are coming into fashion, all the celebs are sporting them these days.

I like her e/s, how the lid color is light next to the lashes... it's very nice. I hope someone can help you

Hi! Yeah, Red is In!!! I have an e/s like the one she's wearing but I think it's too shiny. I believe her's is more of a matte finish!

Re: Similar colors for this look

I have seen a Milani e/s that would go very well for the e/s color on the lid... It is a matte shade, and they had one in off-white and one more of a taupe-y color. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the colors. I'll find out for you if you like...

Also it looks like you basically just need a standard red l/s, I have one that is my favorite by Prestige called Fatal Red, you can also use MAC Lady Bug or Chili l/s, whatever goes with your skintone...

As for the blush...you want to use a color that isn't very pigmented... Because of the very red lips, your blush should be a gentle flushed color... For a medium skintone I am thinking maybe NARS Orgasm or MAC Blushbaby...

Thanks, MAC! Sanaa is darker than I am but I know the colors will work on me too! I think I saw a Milani e/s color like this one too!

Is the colour Almondine from milani? Lovechic if you do that look you should post in FOTD. It would look beautiful on you.

That red lip is so hot! She looks beautiful. Don't know what colors to use, but hope you get the information you're looking for LoveChick.

Re: Similar colors for this look

Lancome has a new taupe color that is matte, I tried it at the counter last week and I'm going to get it next month. Its their color design line and the shade is "waif", check it out if you can. It might be a match.

Why not? I think it's just a question of find the right shade, which could take ages!

If you're thinking of the colors I'm thinking of, the white is probably Moonlight and the light taupe is probably Almondine.... I have Moonlight and while it does look like a matte white in the pan, sometimes as it mixes with oils on my skin it starts reflecting weird pink and purple colors! Haven't tried Almondine, it looks too similar to my skin color to show up!

Re: Similar colors for this look

i think something like bisque(matte cream color) would work. then a black liquid liner. it looks like the rest of the eye is skincolor so you could use foundation and concealer for that or you could use chocolate brown or bamboom paint as a base for the eyes. mac red or vivaglam(i forget which one) would go great on the lips. a good blush would raizin or breath of plum.
