My Top 5 Favorite Everyday Lipsticks (Swatches)
Hello Dollface! I just made a video about my 5 most worn everyday lipsticks, which included a mix of drugstore and high end. I hope you enjoy the video and some bonus swatches and pictures of what they look like on, in case you were thinking of getting any yourself!
Here's my handful of swatches- what a wide variety of colors that you can get away with on a daily basis!
Here's my handful of swatches- what a wide variety of colors that you can get away with on a daily basis!
(Rimmel's Summer Angel, MAC's Viva Glam Gaga 1, Avon's Never So Nude, Clinique's Super Strawberry, and Rimmel's Vintage Pink)
Here's what the first swatch looks like on:
(Rimmel Moisture Renew- Summer Angel)
I really like this next shade because it brightens up your whole face:
(MAC's Viva Glam Gaga 1- Special Edition!)
Probably the most glossy out of all the colors:
(Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick- Never So Nude)
Now we're getting into the more intensely pigmented and daring everyday colors.
(Clinique Chubby Stick- Super Strawberry)
And last but not least, here is my favorite of them all!
(Rimmel Moisture Renew- Vintage Pink)
ALL PICTURES TAKEN ON FRONT-FACING CAMERA OF IPHONE 4S, FACING NATURAL LIGHTING. Not the most clear, but the colors are definitely true. Here I'll add some more close ups of the colors:
And there they all are. What are your favorite everyday lipsticks? Thank you for reading! I feel like I forgot to mention something, but oh well. Have a great day(:

Smokey PLL-Inspired MOTD!
The picture for this may not be the best. I’ve been wanting
to go to sleep for 2 hours now but had to write a paper! AGHH!
Anyways, this look started out as an innocent daytime school
makeup look, but tonight I had a chorus concert, and even though I wanted to
keep it all modest looking since we were performing in a church, I did get a
little smokey with it to enhance my brown eyes- something I don’t do very often
because browns with browns can get a little muddy- but I actually really liked
how it came out. Reminded me very much so of a character from Pretty Little
Liars, since at least 3 out of 4 of them have hazel/brown eyes as I do. So this
is just a quick MOTD post, I hope you all enjoy! By looking at my blog stats I
saw that WAY more people than usual saw my St. Patrick’s day MOTD post and that
means so much to me that people take the time to read these and support me and
my makeup art. So thank you for reading in advance and hope you enjoy this
smokey brown look!
FACE: Today I used
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
American Beauty Plush Powder Foundation in 04 Cool
But I really do think it’s time to switch to a more liquid
or spring face makeup because the powder just faded so fast and gave into my
oily spots today, leaving me with red discoloration on my forehead after it
faded. Talk about embarrassing! To cover it up I used
Covergirl Oil Control Pressed Powder in Buff Beige
With my trusty:
Physician’s Formula Bambuki Brush
Which helped with the oil a lot. Between the foundation and
powder, I also used a blotting sheet from Clean & Clear to get rid of the
oil without having to start from scratch with the face routine.
I really wanted to contour my cheeks but was too lazy to go
looking for my Laguna, so I used an eyeshadow with the perfect color for
contour but with very light pigmentation so it wouldn’t be too noticeable/shimmery
on my face vs. my eyelids. I used:
EYES:
I started with
e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in Sheer (really hate this stuff, I’m
pretty sure the colors faded)
MAC e/s in Naked Lunch (lid, browbone, inner corner)
MAC e/s in Corderoy (crease. This is a matte color but when
I blend it some shimmer gets mixed in. So annoying!)
Blended w/ MAC 224 Brush
Lancome e/s in Drape (browbone, over Naked Lunch for more
shimmer)
Maybelline Expert Eyes Eyeliner in (?) Brown – can’t remember
the name. Very basic light brown! (upper lash line)
Avon Luxury Liner for Eyes in Dark Brown (waterline)
Lancome e/s in Color d’Jour (in waterline to set eyeliner)
Revlon Growluscious Mascara in Blackest Black
Lancome Definicils Mascara
LIPS:
The Balm Stainiac Lip Stain in Beauty Queen
That’s all for now folks! Enjoy the pictures, let me know if
you want a tutorial on this look or a similar look, and Stay Gold!

Welcome, Dollface! I'm guessing you're here because you watched the video where Pj tortures me and butchers the name of every cosmetics company in existence(:

Well have no fear, all the products will be listed right below this statement, and also along with some close ups of the damage my boyfriend did to my face...and ego.
