Today I wore Steady Going all day.
Damn, I really love it. I can't wear this type of pink usually, but on me, it's like a cuter, pinker version of Mehr. It's lighter than Mehr, but because it's so matte, it reads about as bright as Mehr, which is why I think it works as well as it does. Definitely had to keep the eyes cool toned - Gilty Morsel is way too warm to go with it. I wound up using Midnight Snack fl with a little Hold That Pose MES. Frost At Midnight MES, Black Grape PP, Bloodline pigment, Deep Cravings, Rainy Day or All Woman quads will all work really well with it with my coloring, but it needs good brows and good retro eye liner at the least (and great hair).
I didn't line it, but later in the day, I decided to pull out Shock Value and contour the lips, using the liner on top of the lipstick. That was pretty damn sexy, if awfully 90's retro. My lip shape didn't benefit from using it to contour the cupid's bow (although that would look good in photos for sure), but it looked awesome using it to enhance the fullness under the lower lip and applied in the corners of the upper and lower lips to accentuate and add depth. After, I put on a little extra lipstick to bring it all together, but only very very lightly blended it into the pencil. I am definitely going to do this look again, but I'd have to skip the winged liner with it and do more of a soft, smudged liner or just a really soft eye contour with shadow and mascara but no liner. If I knew I was going to be in photos, it'd be a perfect combo.
