I wanted very subtle changes today. I didn't want my lips to be too defined, but I want to get back into my pencils somewhat. Maybe. That is, if I like the looks. If not, the pencils will be set aside again.
Here's where I started.
Arbonne Lip Balm -- I nearly always start with a balm and at least end up with a gloss.
NYX African Queen gloss
This is just a gorgeous color, so vibrant. I lined it outside the line with DuWop reverse liner so it wouldn't migrate.
Here's where I ended:
Lined with: MAC magenta pencil --This pencil is very close to the color of African Queen.
Rimmed with BE Margarita I chose a color very close to the colors. I considered using a lighter color, but wanted to go with the same shade. I use a lip brush to rim. Occasionally I use the gloss applicator, but generally I use a lip brush. It places it better and easier.
This is a plumping formula and it made my whole lip tingle in a good way, just rimming it -- that surprised me! I usually wear BE glosses by themselves, not for rimming.
Here it is full face:
What do you think? Do you have a preference?
I like the subtlety of it. It's fun to have the sharper definition.

To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don't have a representative, just ask.
