LOTD Arbonne Illusion in combos

Here was my first lip today:

Arbonne Illusion + Legend
1/2 and 1/2, 1 on each lip, smooshed; then blended well with a lip brush, because it looked like light lipstick with dark liner.

Here is my second lip today:
I loved the look on the model, so I wanted to try that too.
Lips lined and filled in with Nice
I think this is very pretty alone, and would be nice with just a shimmery gloss over the top to give it some moisture, though it does not feel dry.

Lined and filled in: Nice
Then on both lips: Illusion

On the model, they also contour the lips with a second liner and a second lip color, plus add gloss. I’ll add a gloss later. This is definitely a good color to have in my repetoire.

Here’s my Take2
In RL this lippie is a lovely nude shade with just a hint of color.

And here it is with the other color lippie: (Illusion and Legend)
You can see how well the colors hold up, because it has been at least 5 hours since the first picture, and the only change is the lip, as you can see. No smudging or drifting of shadows or liner. Still perfect.

Which do you prefer?

Definitely Illusion and Legend. That looks like the perfect lipstick to go with your skin.

I liked those two together too. But sometimes the look of the moment is to pair pale lips with heavy eyes. It’s a toss up. So Take 2s are a good bet to try them all.

What have you been wearing lately?
