i'm not accepting that Gladiola doesn't look right .

[urbanD0LL]

wtf ?!! i mean clown-like much ?! i love the color too much , i don't want to return it but seems like i'll have too . any suggestions ?
excuse the non fresh face and hair .

 

[urbanD0LL]

i hate taking pictures yet i'm such a cam whore , why did i have to put 4 pics up ? haha ...

It just looks like it is applied to heavily....and once you make your face up it will look better I think...I tone mine done with a liner first...I used Plum and I also used Vino lightly applied

 

[urbanD0LL]

i dont like liners :S

 

[TISH1124]

Try applying it lighter and then blot it ...and see how you like it..I personally can't wear it without a liner..it looks the same way on me

Tish said it. Lip products can look off when your face isn't made up. When you do.. just do a little at a time. Use magenta liner. its basically the same colour (i'm thinking of girl about town, I know this colour is close to it) I will just make it a bit neater around the lip lines (or clean up with a q-tip)... but i know this colour will look good on you! I love girl about town..

Perhaps a clear gloss lightly on top might sheer it down some and make it more wearable?

 

[brownsuga lady]

I also agree with the liner suggestions. I think it would do wonders for this look.

 

[urbanD0LL]

well i tried it on lightly ( because i did put like a good 4 coat on the pictures ) and it looks better now . thanks !!

 

[urbanD0LL]

wow my mom just came back from work and said its ugly lolll

 

[aziajs]

I agree with Tish and Brownsuga, with a lip color that bright you need a liner to give it dimension and make it blend into your skin more. Otherwise you'll look like your lips are trying to escape from your face. I think it will look better with liner and some gloss.

 

[OfficerJenny]

Glosses will always make lipsticks more wearable. I'd definitely try one that's a more berry toned pink.

It needs to be toned down a bit. A liner would definately help.

 

[urbanD0LL]

LOL @ the lips running away from the face , that's exactly what's happening in the pictures . okay seems like there's alot suggesting lip liner , so the lip liner has to be what color ? And ClaireAvril, I can't stand Girl About Town on me , it's nice but it leans more towards the red .

 

[seymone25]

I would say Velvetella or Nightmoth would look perfect..

 

[TISH1124]

I hate GAT on me too....But I like Gladiola....To tone it down I would say Nightmoth, Vino etc....

I honestly love it on you! You remind me of the model in the promo for Sugar Sweet with the lips. lol You just need to do the whole look b/c a color like this will not look good on a neutral face. And sheer it out, it will look stunning.

I tried this at the counter and it looked horrid on me. I have yellow undertones so it didn't match too well with my complexion. It looked more purple than pink on me.

 

[Miss.FlirtyDiva]

That's a pretty color on you.

Not overall. But the model is gorgeous and exotic. urbanDOLL has lovely features, she just needs to add to the look and Gladiola will hold its own.
