It's a beautiful deep berry shade, with just the right amount of coolness to make teeth look super white, but not so cool as to make your complexion look sallow. Overall I love the colour and I love how it looks on my lips, but I'm still not 100% it suits me. Maybe I needed to do a darker eye, or a darker cheek, but I just don't feel that the overall look is pulled together very well. Never mind.
Here are the rest of the items I used in this look.
What do you think of this shade? Are there any lipstick colours you feel you can't wear?
I understand you perfectly!! I bought this shade a couple months ago and I haven´t worn it yet... and I don´t think I will at least until next winter, since summer is approavhing here in Europe...

I might brave it out of the house a couple of times see how I feel, I might get used to it, as I do really like the colour just not on me that much.

Yes it does have fantastic pigmentation, so creamy!
DeleteI think your look is perfect !!! your eye makeup compliments the lipstick. xx
ReplyDeleteO BTW I love your necklace too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Samra, the necklace was actually an ebay find (i think i cost me less than $5!) :)
DeleteLove the necklace too! Can you pass on the seller? Thanks.
DeleteHi Nicole, here's the link to the necklace on ebay. They have worldwide postage http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300781584615?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_11064wt_1189
DeleteHappy shopping!
I love berry lips but I've never been brave enough to actually wear them out of the house, this is a really pretty look :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Steff, I love when I see some girls wearing deep berry lips with minimal eye makeup but I'm not sure if I can do it myself. I feel too self conscious!
DeleteThe colour looks nice, but I do think a darker blush would pull the look together a bit more. Plus, you can get away with that in autumn! I'm too scared to wear darker lip shades (I too feel it makes me look older), but I love the look of Rimmel's Obsession lip gloss and MAC Rebel lipstick so hopefully that'll change this season.
ReplyDeleteI actually really want MAC Rebel but I'm worried I might not wear it, so this Rimmel on will have to do. I'll try this lippy again with a darker blush, maybe a deep plummy shade and see how I go.
DeleteI sooo agree, I don't like wearing dark lipstick because it just makes me look weird..not cute at all. BUT it looks awesome on you!
ReplyDeleteI have this exact shade. Its not as dark as it looks in the packaging so it comes out looking prettier than expected! Love your blog, please follow back :) x

I have that same lipstick too, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooks good on you btw ^^
A loser like me
I think its a beautiful color on you, the only thing maybe I would try to do differently is try it with a night look of a smoky eye...overall the color looks great...but I think that darker colors look best worn at night and this one would be neat to try with a smoky eye(:
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen, I'll give this another try with a more smokey eye and as you say wear it at night. It's too pretty a colour to just leave to gather dust in my draws!
DeleteI kind of agree with you on the darker shades, somehow I also feel that they make me look older and so I dont wear them mostly. Apart from that I don't think purple lippies look good on me ..
ReplyDeleteI love berry lips as long as they aren't too dark and goth looking! I find I have more trouble with pale beige shades because they wash out my complexion :p
ReplyDeleteI too always thought that a dark lip had to have a pretty dramatic pairing with everything else but you wear this well! I bought a berry lippy about two weeks back, but like you, apart from trying it on at home I've been too nervous to wear it outside the house! Xx
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing AS ALWAYS!
ReplyDeleteI like it! It's lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteYou look like a classic women of old times...xo
I think it looks amazing on you. Berry lips are my absolute favourite because you can wear it bold or create a just bitten lip. I can't wear red lipstick. I don't feel confident wearing it and it shows. xo
ReplyDeleteAdded to my wishlist!! These are the colours i'm gravitating towards these days :) Gorgeous!
