My Own Little Sunshine

Thanks to the recent string of dark, cloudy days that we've had, I've discovered a new - found love for bright, happy lipsticks.

Today, I've used one extremely bright and one dark lipstick to concoct a more wearable,  happy shade. Its a pink-peachy red, which works very well for my skin tone.

Products Used

1. Colorbar Velvet Matte lipstick in ' Peach Crush'

I love this shade - a matte-finish, full-coverage peach. Although this isn't a true peach, as it is more of a coral (in the swatch, it seems more orange than it is), this bright lipstick is still a pretty good buy. I find it a bit intimidating to wear the lipstick on its own - the colour seems a bit too neon for my lips. Good peach lipsticks are difficult to find for duskier skin tones.  But this is definitely a shade worth having in one’s collection.

2. Lakme Enrich Satin '422'

Think Rekha circa 1980, Rekha of the 'Khoobsurat', 'Ghar', 'Umrao Jaan' fame - shade 422 is reminiscent of those times and of Rekha. Wear this shade on its own with lined lips and a clear gloss to invoke the 1980s Rekha maroon shade. 422 is a deep maroon with reddish brown hints. By the way, I am not a big fan of this number system in Lakme's Enrich lipsticks, but I will leave that for another day.

So how do you like this shade?
