A Bright Lip Well..ish

Fall=bold lips

Right?

Come on! pucker up those luscious lips with bright lipsticks for fall.

Don't be scared, besides it's "in" for this season

I'm so excited to put on bright lipsticks for fall/winter because I can just go out with a simple eye make-up and bold bright lips.

I really think that every make-up junkie should own at least THREE red lipsticks. One with blue tones, pink tones, and well..I call it a neutral red. There are a lot of nice red lipsticks, but I just had to go to MAC and find a perfect red shade for me.

So, without further ado..

Everyone, meet Lustering and Cockney. They are both in the lustre family.

YES! I went with lustre finish because I can't pull off an amplified or matte red. Those finishes will just be so "in your face" when I wear them.

Hey, I stick to where I'm comfortable with okay?

here are the lipsticks I'm talking about.

First up, MAC Cockney(Lustre)

I don't know where they got the name, but it's indeed a beautiful shade.

I can only describe Cockney as a true red with blue undertones. The texture is nice and glides on your lips smoothly. It also has a small bit of shine. I consider this to be a great starter shade for red beginners or for someone looking for a really subdued color.
Forgive the childish pose..

and then there's MAC Lustering..

I first heard this from Laura(lollipop26) love her so much, obviously that's why I bought this. Anyways, Laura was right, it is a sheer watermelon shade. This shade did not really show up nicely on my lips, but I can totally layer it with something else. I still love this shade and It is work appropriate too.

here's a lip swatch of MAC Lustering

And..the same post :)

enjoy the week:)
