CORAL me up! (and a first date? Gah!)

[gigiopolis]

I seriously love anything coral. Bags, shoes, tops, nail polish, makeup (of course!). Definitely my favourite colour family of blushes and lipsticks. <3 Ironically, the second picture is just for fun...black and white, and there's no coral to speak of. Haha. Hope you like it anyway!

Very pretty! I love coral also, I think I need to check out that lipstick at a counter.

 

[NudeLook]

Very pretty. I think it translates really well to black and white! I like the highlighting under the eye.

Side note, did you know that sometimes when movies and TV were filmed in black and white, the would do a screen test and choose the colors/shades that were captured best on black and white film regardless of whether or not they clashed in color? This was done on low budget, why spend the money if you aren't going to see the color anyway? I learned that in photography class when we were working in black and white.

Oh that's interesting! Yeah I guess in black and white you don't really need to worry about the colour/hue so much as the shade - you could probably just use some blue lipstick and it would still look good!
