hello girls… it comes a tad late here, but wish you all a very happy and colourful 2012 :)i had a terrible last week.. with an eye infection that made my eye swell and shut. Thankfully it was down by new year’s eve and wewere able to head out to a get together. So how was your new year’s eve?Here is my outfit for the new years and guess what, I wore a RED lip!!! I was certain I’d never be able to pull one off. You fabulous ladies at Blogsville always tempted me with the red lips and I had wanted to try one before the year ended. Well, I did. I have minimal makeup on in the pics because the infection was still there and I didn’t want anything near my eye. Not even concealer. So you guys get to meet my DARK circles. Be nice to them ๐
I’ve had the skirt and the top from before marriage and that means these are at least five years old. I don’t wear skirts that often and so the ones I have suffice. Its quite sad really because I love wearing skirts. This one is from Sri Lanka. There is this awesome store in Colombo called Fashion House where clothes are CHEAP! I think they sell export surplus and rejects because I found a lot of stuff with the labels ripped off. The quality of the clothes is excellent though! The top is from Westside or Pantaloon. I don’t recollect. It is a paisley print georgette with tiny sequins on it. I really like it for night time wear. My footwear is from a local shop in South Delhi. Grey snakeskin with kitten heels. Bet you guys didn’t need to know that, huh?
And here is a very tired looking me with bare eyes and dark circles. Here is my product breakdown:
Face:
- MAC studio fix powder foundation over my face, avoiding the eye area.
- Colorbar radiant pen highlighter over cheekbones
- Faces mineral blush in Pink Topaz
Eyes: BARE
Lips:
- MAC Lip pencil in Spice
- Avon Simply Pretty Lipstick in Cherry Red ( it stayed on after 4 hours, snacks, drinks and a full meal) I am not sure if this was due to the lip liner or the fact that I dabbed a tissue over the lipstick and reapplied it. A bit of both I guess.
My fear of red lips is slowly fading away. But I do realise that I need a flawless skin and warm toned red to carry off the look. Cool toned reds just look horrible on me. So, what do you think girls? How did I do?
