I recently took advantage of a discount at Karla Sugar's blog to try several of the Beauté Luminous Volume Glosses, and I was kindly given another gloss and a Harlot liqui-gel stain to try out.
This is how Harlot looks with a layer of If Luminous Volume Gloss over it. I think it is very pretty. Harlot is a gorgeous deep pink; If is a peachy pink. I wanted to see how they combined.
And I wanted to keep my makeup really simple so you could see the color as both a cheek stain and a lippie.
I used Harlot under my powder as rouge. I did not put blush on afterwards.
Eyes: Nude Frost
Mascara: ExactEyelights I bought this in two colors -- to enhance brown eyes and to enhance blue eyes. The first is black -- this is on my upper lashes; the second is a lovely deep blue -- that is on my lower lashes. I love the blue.
And here are the lips again.
Here's how it looks as both rouge and blush with full makeup:
I think it gives a lovely lit-from-within flush to the skin.
My take:
I really love this as a cheek stain. I know I will enjoy wearing this a lot. I like this as either rouge alone or rouge and blush. I haven't tried it as blush over another rouge yet or blush alone. It is very easy to apply. Even though the color has a lot of depth, it goes on without blotching or unevenness.
I'm not sure about my wearing it as a lip stain. I really like the Beauté glosses. The stain, of course, feels like a stain, and it has a taste, which the glosses seem not to have.
Have you tried these?
What do you think? What color is your favorite?
