I’m half Eastern European and I don’t think I look green but apparently when I used to actually try to get sun, I was told that I have an “olive” complexion. Now I’m just PALE, with dark brown eyes, dyed blue/black hair and freckles. I use the palest foundations/powders available. That whole color analysis thing – choosing what season you are and picking colors accordingly never made sense to me. Technically, I’m “winter” but I wear everything.
I wish I had made red lips my signature a long time ago but now when I try the bold red lip look, I feel silly. For some reason, what doesn’t feel silly and feels a bit more wearable for me is insanely bright fuchsia and crayon orange. Weird huh?
Orange lips bring out warmth and is really suitable for warmer weather. Fuchsia makes me feel more pale and icy.
I have been wearing L’Oreal’s HIP gloss in their orange “Precarious” for a year now and decided to try a real lipstick with more opacity. Yesterday I found Revlon’s Colorburst lipstick in “Coral” and I looooove it! Under certain lighting, it looks red but up close and personal, it’s definitely a bold orange.
For bright purple/pink, I wear a Sephora brand that they no longer make but I think their #s 10 or 11 would do the trick.
It’s a nice departure from the safe neutral glosses I usually wear every day and the traditional reds most women turn to when they want a bold mouth.
