Bite Beauty Luminous Crème Lipstick: Carménère


Sephora's description: apple red


My rating:





The lipstick





The lip















The lowdown

This has to be one of my favorites of the Bite lipstick collection I have. It seems like it will be a little sheer like most of the others, but it actually goes on quite opaque and is a lovely slightly deepened red. Nice!

Bite Beauty Luminous Crème Lipstick: Poppy


Sephora's description: bright poppy red

The lowdown

Pow! What a color! Nice and vivid, if just a bit more sheer than I'd like (as are most Bite lipsticks). The lipstick was quite soft and slippery, so applying with a brush was a little difficult. That's the problem with lip pallets: unlike with bullets, you can't do a final once-over rubbing the lipstick directly on your lips. Oh well, still happy with this amazing vivid color! Poppy pops! (Sorry, couldn't help myself)

Kat Von D Foiled Love Lipstick: Beranice


Sephora's description: metallic poppy red

My rating:





The lipstick




The lip














The lowdown

I like the color, a nice, bright, shiny red. It looks fine on me, although it would probably look better if it were a bit warmer. I found I needed less of this lipstick to create a completely opaque lip, unlike some of the other Kat Von D lipsticks. It could be that the shininess of the lipstick reflects enough light that the lipstick appears to give full coverage with light applications, but hey, I'm not complaining!




The look 

I blocked Beranice with Valentine, a bright sparkly pink by Kat Von D which you'll see on my top lip.




It is obviously a very subtle block, one that most wouldn't notice unless close enough to see the glitter.














This lipstick is part of the Kat Von D Star Kissed Lipstick Set available at Sephora. The other colors are:

Rosary
Lolita
Underage Red
Forever & Never
Valentine

Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick: Underage Red

The lowdown

Like many of the Kat Von D lipsticks, I found this one difficult to apply to a level of opacity that I liked. I could see that the brush often removed lipstick as I tried to apply more.That said, what a bangin' color! I absolutely love the strength of this red.



The look

I created an ombre look from bottom to top with Underage Red and another Kat Von D color, Forever & Never.

Red-Orange-Yellow Ombre

 Today I did a subtle ombre lip from red to yellow. I lined my lips with a brick red, then filled them in with bright orange and finally blended yellow into the inner parts. What I love about going from a dark to a light color is that it makes my lips look full and pouty without using a stingy lip plumper.





Products Used:
 Too Faced Lip Insurance Primer
Illamasqua Lipstick in Howl (brick red)
Illamasqua Lipstick in Perilous (bold orange)
Ka'Oir Lipstick in Banana Milkshake (bright yellow)
Sephora Crystal Gloss in Forbidden Move









Everybody Ombre!!
