DAILY DIVA: Talkin’ Smack (3 Lip Looks I’m LOVING Now)

DAILY DIVA: Talkin’ Smack (3 Lip Looks I’m LOVING Now)

Lips. They’re having a moment. And since I’m all about talkin’ smack, I enlisted DIVAlicious Contributor Kate Pangilinan to showcase some of my favorite lip looks for right NOW.

To start, I quickly made up the rest of Kate’s face with these 5 products in this order… The goal was to create a pretty backdrop for each lipcolor without distracting from or competing with it.

  1. For gorgeous lushness, I prepped Kate’s naturally beautiful skin with Murad Dewy Finish Skin Perfecting Primer.
  2. For minimal coverage and tone evening, I applied a few drops of MAC Face and Body foundation in C5.
  3. To set the foundation but still maintain glow, I dusted Kate’s fce with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Dark.
  4. For a touch of shimmer, I patted eyelids with Bodyography Cream Eyeshadow in Gleam (a bronzey gold).
  5. To subtly enhance eyes, I ran and then softly smudged Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in #1 close to the lashline on top and bottom with emphasis at the outer corner. 

Now… let’s talk lips!

PRE-LOOK

Not quite a look in and of itself, but I do love the way lips look when nuded out with a blend of Aquaphor and cream concealer. Perfect for the no-makeup-makeup fans. And the perfect base for us highly pigmented and vibrant color-lovers!

LOOK 1

Orange you dying over this shade? Orange is MOST DEF the new black. This is MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Good to Go.

LOOK 2

Pretty in perennial pink! This Merle Norman lipstick in Romance is a perfect year-round pout-pleaser.

To make it more fall-focused, line lips first with MAC Lip Pencil in Beet, concentrating on the outer corners and blending liner into the creamy lipcolor as a final step. 

LOOK 3

Holy holographic! LORAC’s Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss in Cliché has crushed blue pearl pigment making it a purple that’s wearable yet still a total conversation-starter.

What lip looks are you loving now?? Feel free to mouth off in the comments section.
