Color Partners- a guide to team lip colors with different outfits.

Lipstick is one of the most essential item of a woman's make up bag. I just thought of sharing with you all how to choose the right lip color to match your outfit.
***( This was actually an article in a foreign magazine, I liked it and thought maybe it could help some people out there who find difficulty in applying lip color that compliments the color of dress they wear)

Color BLUE:

Any shade of pink or true red.

Peach or coral to team with soft blues.

Color PINK

Matching or in a softer or darker shade.

Color RED

Try to match your choice of lip color exactly with your outfit. If you want a paler muted look, apply the lip color, then blot off the excess with a tissue and apply a touch of gloss. Another alternative is one of the russets.

Color GREEN

Any of the corals , peaches, pinks or russets look great.

Color YELLOW / ORANGE

Peachy or russet lip shades with a shimmer or a lip gloss on top.

So, this is it. Just little ideas to play with colors without looking out of the box =)

Hope you enjoyed it.

Lipstick by Clarity Cosmetics # 316.

Hey <3
The lipstick I am reviewing today is one of those colors which I have never tried before. Its a bold color and  I have stuck religiously to Pinks and Corals ever since I started wearing make up. Reds and Browns never suited me until I tried this:

AND finally this is how it looks on me!! =]

This is actually a lipstick given to my mum but she doesn't wear such bright colors so I thought of trying that out. And I really liked how it looked on me.

About the product:

Brand: Clarity Cosmetics

Shade: No names unfortunately =( but its shade # 316. A deep strawberry kinda shade.

Availability: Easily available as its a local brand.

Finish: Creme-y. As you can see in the picture it does have a slight glossy finish. I am not wearing any gloss or balm. Its just the lipstick alone and i LOVE the fact that it does not contain even the tiniest hint of shimmer or glitter.

Staying Power: Not very impressive. Stayed for just about 3 hrs approx on me.

Formula: Moisturizing :)

Overall, I am happy that now I could even wear a red shade on lipstick without looking a crap =P

Planning to wear it a lot in the winter season. I think its a pretty fall-ish color.

Do you agree??

Let me know please =)

Lipstick! Spirit by MAC.

That's the very first Mac lipstick i have ever tried and i really like it. The reason behind my likeness is that its the only nude shade which has ever suited me. I like how it gives a delicate touch  to over all look without washing me out. The rest nude lipsticks i have ever tried made me look really bad and dull. But Spirit in my favorite nude lipstick =)
Lets have a look at the swatches: 

Brand: MAC

Shade: Spirit (nude brown with a hint of pink)

Availability: Mac cosmetics is available at many superstores across Pakistan.

Finish: Satin(as per written on the lipstick tube) Its a semi matte lippy which a subtle sheen.

Staying Power: a pretty decent one. Lasts a good 3-4 hours on me. Maybe it could last a little longer on someone else cuz i have a very bad habit of eating up my lipstick =P

Formula: very smooth and moisturizing, you do not need a lip balm underneath.

Overall its a good lipstick to own if your nude lips fan because it wont wash out your complexion at all. I have been wearing it a lot lately and like it!

Hope you enjoyed.

REVIEW -- CP Trendies lipstick in Blushing Bride # 08.

Cp Trendies is an UAE brand which offers good quality stuff at affordable prices, i have been gifted this lipstick by my friend. I thought of sharing it on my blog as I really liked the shade. First let me show you the images:

Brand: CP Trendies

Shade: Blushing Bride # 08 (reddish peachy shade)

Price: received it as a gift so I'm not sure bout the exact price.

Finish: slightly pearly.

Staying power: not very long lasting but has a decent staying power of 2-3 hours.

Formula: Its neither drying nor moisturizing, its better to apply lip balm or Vaseline underneath.

Overall, i really like the shade and i think its a pretty everyday color. Will be wearing it a lot in the fall season.

Hope you liked it!

REVIEW -- Maybelline Watershine Elixir Lipstick in Blazing Gold.

Its more of a lip gloss rather than a lipstick. And i am not a lip gloss lover. But this particular shade really caught my attention and the packaging i think is pretty cool as well. The shade i own is Blazing gold- its a peachy shade with golden glitter which gives a gorgeous finish.

Talking about the packaging it almost resembles a pen. Its sleek and silver. It has a click kinda precision at one end which when twisted releases tiny and sufficient droplets of gloss from the transparent plastic applicator. The tip is sculpted for easy application.

Next thing I wanna highlight is the color pay-off. Its very sheer. But gives a pretty shine and sheer peach color to lips. Its a great color for day time and a heavy eye make up and soft peachy lips will rock out the night too =). Check out the color on me:

Over all its a good item to add in your collection. Is available at many places where Maybelline items are sold. Comes in a variety of beautiful shades to choose from. Not long lasting though! =(

Hope you enjoyed reading.

REVIEW -- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Pink in the Afternoon' # 415

Ok, so here's quick little review on the Revlon Lipstick.

First of all, talking about the texture its 'Creme-y'. i love creme-y lipsticks in comparison to pearly or frosty ones. its super easy to apply and remove as well, you feel like u have a good amount of lip balm on yr lips as its very moisturizing. the best thing about it is that its very pigmented and opaque, you get a fairly good amount of product in a single swipe. it leaves a gorgeous finish on your lips-not too matte and not shimmery as well =}. Here's a swatch of this pretty pink shade:

(this is how it looks on me=}

It costs around $8 and can be purchased online. This Super lustrous line from Revlon has a variety of stunning shades to choose from. Check out there website for more info: www.revlon.com

The only bad thing about it is that its not very long lasting and is not easily available in Pakistan(or hardly available=()

Thnks for reading!
