I adore this lipstick. It’s bright (in fact, much brighter than these pictures would have you believe) but it’s not too in your face. It’s oh so summery and I swear it manages to be both pink and coral at the same time. I really need to pick up a matching lip liner though, application could be a little more polished me thinks.
I’ve been pairing it with these shades on the eyes a lot, silvers and greys are definitely my comfort zone. I was inspired by the make-up from the Chanel S/S 2010 catwalk (see a picture and some more swatches here). It makes a nice change from some of the more traditional summer colour combinations, all the golds and corals, don’t you think?
Face
Lily Lolo Matte Finishing powder (as primer)
Lily Lolo mineral foundation
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-place concealer in 01 Light
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
MAC Pink Swoon Blush (I would have preferred something a little lighter but my blush collection is a somewhat lacking. I’ve got my eye on MAC’s Well Dressed, think I’ll pick it up in duty free next month)
Eyes
UDPP
Lancome Silver Wing e/s pressed on to the lid
MAC Bough Grey in the crease
MAC Vex as a highlight
MAC Print lightly smudged on to the outer corners of the upper lash line.
Max Factor Masterpiece Max mascara
Lips
Chanel Genial and a dab of carmex (because my lips are uber dry at the moment and this is quite pigmented, smooth lips are essential)
This and MAC’s Ever Hip are definitely the (lipstick) colours of my summer. How about you ladies, what shade of lipstick are you currently loving?

You should definitely get Well Dressed, its the best blush ever! I have very similar colouring to you and I use it most days.
MAC Angel is my current favourite lip shade x

You most definitely need Well Dressed, it’s my ‘go-to’ blush most days 🙂

@Anonymous Girl Thanks for the tip, I’ll def be picking Well Dressed up then! Angel is one of those lipsticks that I always mean to pick up and swatch but for some reason I never do!
@Laura Thank you hun, I’m not overly thrilled with how the pictures turned out. The colour is far more intense and amazing in real life! You’re the whole reason I want Well Dressed in the first place!!
