NYX Electra
Straight out of the tube. This is a bright, lovely warm red. The longer it was on, the bluer it became.
For the most part, I am wearing more sheer, glossy looking colors now. So my plans were to try gloss with it later (do my usual, lipstick on one lip; gloss on the other and smoosh), but then I figured I still had plenty of color left on my lips, start with that and do something.
While surfing around last night, I found a post by Ella where she copied the look of this youtube and posted the youtube. I thought it was great, so for my second lip look of the day, I decided to try it.
After breakfast, when some of the color was off:
I added AL hothothot (glitter) + Bonnie Bell Lip d'votion Clear Gloss
NYX Lips Electra + AL hothothot + Clear Gloss on top
Here it is full face:
My take:
I really loved it sheered out some, better. Or, I could apply it less heavily. Using a lipbrush would sheer it out. OTOH, there are lots of ways to accomplish the same thing.
What do you think?
Don't you just love combining colors to come up with something truly wonderful! My photos don't show how pretty the hothothot reflects through it.
Or are you a one color at a time kind of gal?
