LOTD NYX Rhea alone and + MAC Popster + Beauté Allure

What a difference a little tweaking makes! I love to tweak lipstick colors and looks. I’d never seen it done so consistently as the DVD on Arbonne Impact Your Image by Krista Embry. She never uses a lipstick alone, but usually with two pencils, a gloss, and etc.

I’ve done that for years. Once you learn the technique(s), it is very fast. The only time it takes is to decide which lippies or lip products you will combine. Or how you are trying to tweak the color.

Rimming with gloss lining with gloss
I find for my lifestyle and the place I live which is decidedly casual, I prefer to line with gloss now, rather than the dozen(s) of lip pencils I have on hand. I use them only very occasionally. Rimming with lipgloss is a younger look. It youthens (I love the word and picked it up from someone else.) I first saw this on the Beauté site on one of their tutorials. You can see more here.

NYX Rhea straight from the tube
As you can see, it is very brown, too brown for me. But I love the formula and I’m still trying to work my way through the 30 lippies I got, some of which were decidedly brown, for such a good price.

I wanted to make it a little pinker and bring it into the color of my shirt, if possible. I love the formula of MAC lip conditioner too, and I only have it in one color.

Rhea + MAC Popster lip conditioner over the whole lip top and bottom, rimmed and a touch on the bottom middle lip with Beauté Allure
Popster softened the color immediately. I couldn’t see how pretty it was until I photographed it — and it had melded together for a few minutes. I could still spot the brown of Rhea, but not now.

I hope you tweak your colors too! Do you?
