Sounds gorgeous :eyelove: I have to try that!

It really is, I love it ill try and get a picture later to show!

Have you tried it with Magenta lip liner? It looks lovely with that and I've also lined my lips with Heroine lipstick and filled them in lightly, then added the Nicki on top which looks nice

sounds lovely! will try that thank you!

Arrrgggghhh! Lipstick should not take this much work to look decent. It is going back. I am going to stick with OCC Hoochie instead even though it is deeper (or maybe because it is).

[MACina]

At first I couldn't work with the Nicki 2 but because the money goes to charity that's what stopped me from taking it back but I made it work with the ombré effects !

If you are wanting to strangle

someone over wrestling

with this Lipstick to make it work- try Lisa Eldridge's ( UK. renown makeup artist- also on YOUTUBE) trick of using your ring finger to gently tap-tap & press the lipstick into the lip -rather than apply it straight from the bullet. it really gives a much softer, more wearable look and feel!
Also try swiping one the ever popular LIP balm/stains OVER the lipstick to further soften the opacity but keep the intensity of color! Hope this helps

I don't want to hassle with lipsticks i consider everyday colors. I want to slap 'em on and head out the door - carry 'em in my bag and touch up as needed.

But i would never think of VG N2 as an everyday color. So it was always going to be a lipstick i needed to wear either with a full face - which i don't do daily - or with liners and other lip color products. So the fact that it's not an easy color to manage is not a problem for me.

I also don't like to fuss too much with lipsticks, that's why I didn't even consider the Nicki 2 lipstick (I'm a very olive toned NC25-30) but I actually really love the lipglass. It has turned out to be such a versatile product, I've worn it on top of everything - Freckletone, Syrup (best pairing), Viva glam II, Nocturnal instincts and even Betty Bright. I love the really subtle shimmer in it as well. It's just lovely

 

[magali]

I know it's off topic but I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find the viva glam gaga 1 lipglass. I totally missed out on it & now I want it. If anybody knows or has one I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I have one for sale in my thread!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Doo eet!!! Dew eet NOW!!!


Seriously there are so many liners that will work wonderfully with N2.

I did last night and it shipped today since I used LIGHT for free 2nd Day shipping.

 

[martiangurll]

I have a feeling with the scarcity of collections in March, I will end up ordering VG N2. Powdered donut lips or not. It really is sort of her look so why not?

I am going to get the Nicki2 lipgloss next week.

My mom wore the same lipstick for over 45 years, from the late 1960s until she died at the end of last summer - a corally orange, which was a good color on her - after i convinced her to stop wearing a terrible unflattering 1950s red. She had light olive skin and a soft cloud of black hair that turned totally white before she was 40. If she wanted to add some color to her cheeks, she just used her lipstick. Black cake eyeliner, no eyeshadow or mascara. And liquid foundation a bit lighter than her natural skin color.

She was an artist, a painter. But she couldn't understand why i wore different colors of lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, etc. and she generally complained about the colors, especially when they were colors she would NEVER wear, even though I was the one wearing them. We had completely different coloring - i have fair skin (15-20, neutral) and brown hair which, at nearly 64, has some scattered silver threads, but the only concentration of white hair is at the temples and only really shows when i wear my hair up.

I prefer dramatic makeup, especially vampy and unnatural lip colors - although I do know how to do a "natural" look when the situation calls for it.

you're an inspiration!i wanna be like that at 64

 

[MaitaiFluff]

^^^ True that.

Ditto! And it looks beautiful with magenta lipliner!!! With all the money going to charity, I had to keep it and make it work and I'm glad I did.

 

[Pinkdollface]

One of the MUA's at my local counter suggested Beet lipliner with Nicki 2, sounds like an interesting combo. It will be released here next week. I hope I'll like it!

I just got the Nikki2 lipstick and lip glass and at first I wasn't a fan but once I learned how to put it on without making myself look like a clown, I fell in love. Using the lipstick straight out of the tube was a bit too much so I ended up just patting it on my lips with my finger. The lipglass is pigmented enough so that you could put it over the lipstick and have it add more color without it being overbearing. I actually really like the color and it is a perfect lilac pinkish color for spring!

Cheers! I now get the Significance behind your AVATAR!
Your mother sounds like one of the illustrious great Dames of the 40's - very Lauren Bacall -esque! What great memories!
