Wow! this was fun! Thanks to Elena for giving me the idea yesterday.
Do you want a little drama and edge in your life?
Try a little black lippie, especially since they are moving out of Goth and into mainstream, albeit high fashion.
Yves St. Laurent has a black gloss.
Chanel has black lippies in different color hues, not like their famous Vamp lippie, a burgundy-black. These would be black-whatever-color-tone-you-pick of the three.
NYX has a black gloss.
Fyrinnae has Monochrome, a matte black lip lustre.
Is it still Goth, if mainstream isn't far behind?
Could I make my own? Yes!
I figured I could come up with my own, yes!
I also wanted to try it with one of Aromaleigh's wonderful black shadows. But there was no time. Maybe tomorrow.
Step 1:
Base: Avon Beyond Color Lip Plumping Conditioner
This would allow the pencil to go on without pulling. And also, hopefully, not stain my lips.
Choosing a black eye pencil.
I used Revlon Wet Dry Blackest Black
I wondered about my really black Shiseido and my not-quite-as-black Shiseido, but for this, I chose Revlon.
What a gorgeous shimmery black! But I didn't have my eyes on yet, and it was morning, and I knew I wanted to tame it down.
For real drama
This would be a beautiful shade colored on both lips, with a touch of gloss up the center.
The bottom lippie is Milani Lip Mixer Gloss 704. I wanted to bring it into a burgundy look. Next time I might try lipstick instead of gloss.
My youngest 2 girls were looking at me wondering what the heck!
Step 2:
Smoosh the lips together.
It was really quite black, and the pencil shimmered through it.
My girls thought it was way too dark for me. But I wasn't finished with the rest of my makeup. If you could see the full shots here, you would certainly agree with them. But I'm not sharing them!
Step 3: Add gloss up the middle of the lip to highlight
Lancome Starlight White with silver glitter
Milani Glitzy Glow Girl to pink it up some
Finished FOTD I'll post more FOTD shortly.
Looking good.
