Roasted Peach

In my quest for a wearable peach lipstick,  I keep mixing different hues of brown and orange to peach lipsticks that I have. I think the perfect peach for dusky skin tones would be the blush shade available in Lakme's Pure Rouge blushes called 'Peach Affair'. If only they could have a lipstick equivalent.

Today was another such experiment. The result was only satisfactory as far as a peach lipstick is concerned (I felt it looked more like a peachy-pink brown) but otherwise, the new shade was beautiful.



Products Used: 



1. Maybelline Color Sensational Lip liner in 'Choco Pop' - This lip liner is the closest to my natural lip colour; hence it acts like a good neutral colour. I like the texture of these liners - creamy but not too soft but not hard either. Good colour payoff.

2. Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in 'Peach Crush' -



Again, one of my favourites. Beautiful peachy coral. Great colour payoff.  Only problem with these lipsticks is the dry texture and the horrible pink stain most of these leave behind once faded.

3. Maybelline Color Sensational Moisture Extreme Lipstick in 'Bronze Orange'




Love the texture of these lipsticks - very creamy. But the staying power isn't great. 


4. Faces Go Chic Lipstick in 'Cocoa Indulgence' -



Brown,  deep deep brown. It looks very flat and greyish on my lips, so I use this one to 'roast' my slightly unwearable shades into more wearability.  

So how do you like my peach?
