Making bright lipstick less...bright

Hey Dolls :)

Can you tell I couldn't think of a snappier title ha!? My lipstick of choice lately has been YSL Rouge Pur 128, Tyrian Purple which you can read about here. It's such a beautiful, vibrant colour! Not too long ago I was trying to find a lipstick that would go with a pinky/purple eye shadow and decided to try tyrian purple. It was just a wee bit bright and purple to go with my eyeshadow so I decided to pop a little bit of 17's mirror shine in bee-hive on top...

I think they look so pretty together! What I love about the mirror shines is you have no need for a gloss - no sticky lips for me!

Are you a lipstick mixer? What are your favorite combinations?

Love Nicola

  2. Love it!
    My favourite combo at the moment is Macs Ravishing with Gosh Darling over the top. I cant suit Darling on its own!

  6. I'm a lipstick mixer too! haha right now I've been putting mac's 'innocence beware' over 'toxic tale' (both from venomous villians) to help tone it down a bit, because I'm a bit of a scaredy cat of having REALLY bright lips :) xx
