Hi BIC!
A lot of us have talked about our huge lipstick collections, and with the passing of another National Lipstick Day, I took stock of mine. I have about 200 lipsticks and glosses and realized, I only wear about 20 of them! So I'm challenging myself (and whoever else wants to join) to use more of them. I'm going to try to wear a different lipstick every day for the next 100 days.
Aw, thanks @Justjamey ! ☺️
I agree that the last shade is really pretty on you. It’s cool enough and has a coral shift to it. I’m not sure how I feel either about the powders and diffused. I have two from Revlon and I think I hate them lol. Seems to work better on you and maybe I should try another brand.
Thanks @2manyperfumes ! This blurry matte trend is interesting to see on other people, but kinda frustrating in practice. 😂 I haven’t tried Revlon’s, but I do have an orange ColourPop Lux Blur matte bullet that I’m sure I’ve worn for this challenge... I remember trying it after being underwhelmed by the CP Ultra Blotted liquid matte in a similar shade. The CP blur bullet’s not bad, as long as you don’t expect it to be as pigmented and crisp as a typical Lux bullet formula. It’s more of a diffused stain, though it’s more pigmented than the liquid matte version.
I also have another MAC Powder Kiss shade. I don’t think I’ve worn it yet. (Note to self.) These would be great for an overall diffused, super soft makeup look. Not sure I’m sold on it as an everyday brows + blush + lipstick look on me, though.
I think you nailed it @WinglessOne I was underwhelmed with the overall diffused look. Will give mine a try again maybe with a sparkly eye where I want a softer lip.
I like your comments and many pictures. It's a bit like a suspense: is @WinglessOne going to find the perfect shade and comfy lipstick or not? 😃🔎The last look is awesome: the bright color suits you very well. And I feel the same about coral shades. I have 2 coral shades and I feel weird everytime I wear them. It's not ugly, but there's just something not right (I don't know what...). 🤔
Thanks @MlleJuju ! When Pantone named coral 2019’s color of the year, my eyes nearly rolled out of their sockets. 🤣 “Oh GREAT, now every brand’s gonna release a flood of coral makeup... ugh.” I don’t hate coral in everything—I love many coral blushes on me, and I own some coral clothes—but when it comes to lipstick, coral and I are enemies. So far, I have just 3 or 4 coral shades I like on me. And that’s out of the 370something lipsticks (plus any new corals I’ve bought since summer) I started with when I began my declutter last year.
I think you nailed it: coral lip shades aren’t always ugly, but there’s just something not right about ‘em for some of us. So many coral lipsticks clash with my skin tone(s). Sigh.
Well, after talking with @WinglessOne about coral shades, I had to give another try to one of my coral lipstick. So here you go: maybelline commited coral on the lips (I love those since they don't transfer at all which is my number 1 priority) and a all coral look for the eyes. I must admit it's the first time I like a coral lipstick on me. Maybe I finally found the right combo (or maybe I'm just kidding myself!) 😁
I don't think you're kidding yourself at all...this looks fabulous! ❤️
@WinglessOne It’s good to know I’m not the only one who buys lipstick colours I know won’t work but keep buying them anyways. Too bad you had a couple that you didn’t like. I think the coral looks beautiful on you! But the last shade looks the best!
Thanks @ather ! Do you play Chase That Shade like I do? That’s a fun subconscious game where you keep buying the same lipstick shade over and over, determined to find The One that works on you, no matter how many others have failed. 😂 It’s a hard habit to break.
@WinglessOne Hah! I personally play chase the shade with Oxbloods and Burgundy’s . I drool over them on others, but so often show too purple on me. I end up settling for blue reds. Although I really was impressed with aDose of Colors Irreplaceable (?) Minnie Mouse. Felt reeeaaaaly close. But... could use a little more tweaking.
Thanks @Weetart ! ☺️ 😂 And the sad part is, you can’t see the worst goopiness in that photo. It was such a chore to apply!
The Powder Kisses do feel nice, and this one leaves a pretty stain as it wears down. It’s just impossible to get a crisp outline with these bullets since they’re meant to give a diffused blurry look. But if you’re good with that, then they’re worth a try!
@WinglessOne It’s fun watching you and your lipstick journey today. And bonus! You decluttered today!
Thanks @heartsmyface ! Hooray for ongoing decluttering! I recently found an old shoebox in my linen closet that’s full of old makeup I’d forgotten about, including 40something more lipsticks. That means I actually started my declutter last year with over 400 lipsticks. 😬 I’ve dumped all those just-found lipsticks in the declutter box; not gonna bother wear-testing them. Nope.
The MAC shade looks great @WinglessOne! Too bad about the other two☹️
Thanks @faeriegirl ! At least I’ve made room for 2 newer, better lipsticks! 🙂
