I agree with you: with Magenta it's just perfect on you!
super cute! definitely works for youNew to the community here. So here is a lip combo I did with VGN2. I used Sephora Candid Candy liner all over the lips before VGN2 then applied the VGN2 gloss on top and I love it! For reference I am currently NC25. Hopefully this lipstick works for others too!!!
Nicki 2 is also gorgeous with Embrace me and Magenta lip liner as an ombre effect.I tried Nicki2 on today with Nightmoth liner. Hot! Hot! Hot! I love this lipstick and can't wait to try it on with a few other liners. I was kind of hurried so I just grabbed Nightmoth. I'm thinking about a BU of Nicki2.
I don't have Embrace Me (yet) but I do have NYX's Purple Rain which is supposed to be a good dupe for Magenta. I'm going to try that one next.Nicki 2 is also gorgeous with Embrace me and Magenta lip liner as an ombre effect.
So, i've worn N2 lipstick out a couple times now. I am disappointed that N2 isn't more blue-violet, but it isn't bad on my pale coloring. It's not a Tyrone Biggums powdered sugar donut look on me - although there have been a few other MAC l/s & l/g that were.
First time out, i lined the edges of my lips with a little Nightmoth, blended it, put N2 l/s on my lips, and then blended the edges with a lip brush. I wasn't trying for an ombré lip, but to blue N2 a bit. It was OK - not a fail, but it was insufficiently blue for my taste.
Next time, i put on N2 l/s straight, then topped it with Perky lipglass (Taste Temptation coll.). That did the trick. It really brought N2 l/s to pale blue-violet-ness. It did give N2 a rather metallic look, which was fine with me, but may not be to other people's taste. I wore it with a frosty pink and pale violet eye, Unconventional blush on my cheek bones, and Earthshine lightly in the hollow beneath.
I'll be playing around with it more. Once i figure out how to make it the pale blue-violet i was hoping for, then i'll work on the ombré thing. I have lots of plum, purple, and violet lipsticks and glosses, and several plum, purple, and violet lip pencils, so i have plenty of ammunition.
Doo eet!!! Dew eet NOW!!!Will need to order Magenta and Currant lip liner to try it out with Nicki 2 lipstick!
Try:I've only tried it with Nightmoth but next time I'm going to try NYX's Prune lip pencil. Revlon's Lilac Pastelle gloss is wonderful on top as I expected it would be.
I don't have Beet or Vino but I kind of tried it with Purple Rain and didn't care much for it. I'm going to try it again though. I've been wanting Vino and I guess I'm going to have to check out Beet as well. I might try it with MAC's Rich Purple chromagraphic pencil too. Lightly though cuz Rich Purple is DEEP.Try:
Beet
Vino
Purple Rain (NYX)
Thanks for the idea. I never even considered Rich Purple chromagraphic pencil.I don't have Beet or Vino but I kind of tried it with Purple Rain and didn't care much for it.
