And Joyous Red worn very lightly, an old favorite!
Wow, I can't believe I don't wear Joyous Red patted on lightly like this more often! It's the perfect "my lips but redder" shade; it doesn't look too unnatural. I don't know about you guys, but if I want a subtle lip color, any form of red is usually off the table; even sheer red is often still very bright. If you're curious what this looks like worn more heavily, check out my earlier review of it here.
Do you guys feel like summer calls for less makeup? I try to do more natural looks when the weather is hot and I know I'll be outdoors. Less maintenance!
Girl you look fabulous! I couldn't help but notice how cute your earrings are, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! I have a bunch of these little resin flower earrings, I wear them all the time :)
DeleteDefinitely 40's inspired! I think the polka dot top really added to it! Beautiful look!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :D
DeleteVintage indeed! Definitely not too made up. :) I really like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it Vintage!
Deletesuper cute! oh and i recently got the mufe face & body liquid makeup! i <3 it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great!? So natural looking, but you can layer it for heavier coverage where you need it... Can't ask for much more than that!
DeleteI would love to try Dallas!
ReplyDeleteI really like the look you've created, while being simple it makes you look great.
I think I'll recreate something similar for my exam on monday :)
xx
Ooh, I'd love to see your version! And Dallas is great, it's so flattering!
DeleteSeriously like this look- the lips went perfect and the cheek color looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'll have to try playing with these colors more often!
DeleteSeriously, can I steal your lips please?? Not creepy weird way lol. I love the blush of color on the lips. I like a dewey natural look in the summer, I'm not really a light hand at makeup so it's a fine line between sunkissed garden maiden and late night bar trollop. I need to practice that.
ReplyDeleteNo, my lips! But I don't even know why you're asking, you have lovely lips Crystal! And yes, it is hard to find a happy medium between using enough product that it looks intentional and well-applied without looking too dark... I always have to wait at least ten minutes and then go look at my face in different light, I end up changing my or blotting my lip color and buffing out my cheeks about half the time! I've even done this in the school bathroom after seeing myself in harsh fluorescent lights... Maybe I ought to work on using a lighter hand, too!
DeleteAll that buffering and re-layering definitely paid off because your cheeks look GORGEOUS!!! PS - I second Crystal ^^ Your lips are freakingggg stunning! Lucky lady!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thaaaaaank you :D
Deleteits a very clean and "no fuss" classic makeup look to go with your outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benish! :)
DeleteI agree, when it's hot out it's easier to tone down the makeup a bit, otherwise it starts to look a bit sketchy after awhile! I really like UD Bang! That is one gorgeous blush!
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty! I've been reaching for it a lot. I have to give at least half of the credit to Exhibit A, though... It is instant pretty in blush form :)
