Caught Red-Handed!

Lately, I have been all about BOLD lips!!! I started with loving orangey coral lips in the summer. Then after my chalazion eye surgery, I began to experiment with hot pink and deep red. I figured since I couldn't wear eye makeup, I would play up the lips. People here in Florida haven't really jumped on the bandwagon with bold lips, but I absolutely love it. My guess is that it's a little TOO bold for some, but I like to wear these lipsticks on occassion. I don't go walking about with orange lips and a violet v-neck - let's keep the class people. I usually wear white, black or any nuetral color when I wear these lipsticks.

Once I am able to wear makeup (which is approximately one week and two days from now) I'll just rock the winged liner with bold lips and call it a day :)

At Target trying to find the right red shade. Literally, red-handed. (Special appearance by Tiff in the background lol)

I ended up choosing Maybelline Red Revival. I paired it with Loreal's Infallible lip gloss (No. 315). This gloss reminds me of Sangria for some reason (can you tell I'm missing Spain!). NOTE: When it comes to reds if you have a warm undertone, chose deeper reds. If you have a cool undertone, chose brighter, cherry reds.

This is Siren from Revlon. My sister and I actually traded coral lipsticks. This deeper, bolder color looked better on my darker skintone. While my softer coral was shown off better in her lighter skintone. I pair Revlon's Coral Reff lip gloss with it.

This is Fifth Ave. Fuschia from Maybelline. Love the name and LOVE the consistency of these lipsticks. They aren't too drying or too creamy. I'm not a fan of creamy lipsticks because I often feel like it will rub onto my teeth.
