Meet Illamasqua Plunge. It's a lovely mauve pink colour in the tube but I just can't wear it on its own without looking like a throwback from the 60s mod era. Or a contestant on "Snog Marry Avoid" (PS: have you discovered that show yet? Hilarious!)
It's one of those lipsticks that requires work to actually look good on me. So if you have a lipstick that you just can't wear because it's too pale, here are 5 ways to get more wear out of it.
What lipstick do you own that needs a lot of work in order to look good?
this is an amazing post. Thanks for sharing :) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat post - I have trouble with pale nudes. They make me look like I'm wearing concealer on my lips. Not a good look!
ReplyDeletegreat post :) i tend to do the lip liner trick <3
ReplyDeleteI never thought about these tips, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I really have to work to make MAC Viva Glam Gaga I work for me, because it's just too pale and cool-toned. I've been wearing it with different lipglosses, and also layering it *under* darker lipsticks. I layer it under MAC I Love Winter and it turns ILW into a more wearable pink ^__^
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wear it on my cheeks:)
ReplyDeleteUrban Decay lipstick in Naked. It's a lot more sheer than I expected it to be.
ReplyDeleteSuch great tips i've got loads of lipsticks that i think are just too pale whilst I've been searching for the perfect nude, I may try some of these techniques and see if i can do something with them. Thanks for putting this up!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Loved alll the tips!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and great tips!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm tanned MAC Myth is just too light for me and I do look like a Snog Marry Avoid contestant, so I have to tone it down with lipliner and lashings of lipgloss. Great tips. :)

Great post Lilit .. I have trouble with "Loreal Pink Lady" somehow just doesn't work for me ..Will try these tips :)
ReplyDeletereally great post! Very helpful! Thaaanks hun!
ReplyDeleteSnog, Marry Avoid? Why can't our shows have hilarious names like that? Anyway, I have one or two too-pale lipsticks (it's easy for lipsticks to be too pale on me so I tend to go bold) This will most definitely be useful in the future. I have MAC Pink Plaid and Honeylove both of which just...don't work on me.
ReplyDeleteThese look gorgeous......Time to go shopping!You are looking really beautiful.
