I posted this in the Beauty of Color thread but wanted to share here too::::::::::::
Here's my two cents:
I initially tried
Cyndi and thought it looked ok. I decided to put a gloss on top and then it looked better. Its a very different color from what I usually wear so I decided to get it.
I think I may have better luck at home once I find a good liner and perfect gloss to pair with it. In the store I just used what the MA gave me....and thats not always the best choice
I tried
Gaga after coming home with Cyndi and reading about
Gaga everywhere. Great. So I went back to the store the next day and tried
Gaga on for myself. At first I put it on by itself, no liner or gloss and it was pretty terrible.
I stood there frowing in the mirror and a WOC MA walked up to me and told me that needed a liner and gloss to make it work. So she gave me Oak liner which I applied pretty generously around the edges because the liner is pretty light. Then I used Viva Glam lipglass on top and it worked. I actually liked it.
Its not an everyday look but I would rock this color in the evening.
BUT heres the thing-----
I tried it on again the next day and it was soooooo ugly. I just sat there in awe of how I got tricked. But then I had to step back and think of what I did wrong.......
Here's the key:
1. For me, my lips must be totally exfoliated or else all the lines and dry skin show. Yuck.
2. It looks better sheered out on me. Just one swipe and maybe a tad more to fill in. The second time I tried it, I was feeling more confident than the first time and put WAY too much on.
3. Last it needs a gloss. MUST have a gloss
Its kind of a high maintenance color for a lot of WOC, but it can work. Just depends if you're willing to go through all the steps.
I plan to do a review on my YouTube channel. Check me out
