Lipstick Queen Berry Sinner

LQ Rust Sinner

the berry shade has a hint of brown..
while rust is a rusty coral color :slight_smile:

Chanda that's pretty Mashallah.. i'm scared of trying reds :( I do love pretty berry stains though!

Roshni line u're lips with a lip-liner slightly inside u're natural lipline and fill-in with dark colors..dark colors give the appearance of a small mouth. Deep mocha, plums would look nice for the evening.. and caramel, light nudes are ideal for the day.

actually i use one lipliner and put on a totally different color...gives a great effect.

Re: L I P S

MAC Ruby Woo- 1st time wearing any kind of lipstick, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much it suited my skin tone. So moral of the story is you don’t know what looks good on you until you experiment!

Re: L I P S

^It looks beautiful! That lipstick has been on my wish list for a while, I have to get it soon.

Re: L I P S

Beautiful. I think MAC Ruby Woo is one of those shades that suits all. A classic.

Re: L I P S

I have really full (bee-stung sorta) lips, my lower lip looks really full, and reds/maroons/chocolate browns dont look good on me, I feel that it makes my lips look more protruding. I mostly wear nudes or occasionally medium browns, and soft pinks. Can you girls suggest a good red that would look good on me?

Re: L I P S

Thanks. Yeah, it's a toss up b/w Ruby Woo & Russian Red but they're so similar that you only need one of them.

Re: L I P S

Honey, you can pull off anything- most girls would kill for full lips like that. Show them off!

Re: L I P S

Thanks muslimah118 :slight_smile: are you sure? lol reminds of the saying that grass is greener on the other side :smiley: I wish my lips were just a tiny bit thinner lol
Dont know why I feel I cant pull off dark lips! And my upper lip is darker than the lower lip so very light colors dont really show up well. Im looking for a good shade of red, if I cant I’ll be going for nude color lips on my wedding :stuck_out_tongue:

the picture in the middle, with brown/golden was done by professionals, in the other two I just used soft pinks. Can’t dare to go darker than the brown in the middle, whenever I try it on I feel I look like a vampire :open_mouth:

Re: L I P S

I know what you mean, but not all colored lips are dark. My mom’s generation is into dark colors- brownish colored reds, etc. but our generation, not so much. You don’t have to go for a dark red if you’re not comfortable. As for the discoloration, it’s easy to hide with primer or layering lip pencil and lipstick. If you are having a trial makeup session, you should ask your makeup artist to try out various looks so you can see what you like. Perfect time for experimenting. :slight_smile: You are lucky!

Re: L I P S

Yeah I guess you're right! The biggest issue I'm having in choosing the right colors for make-up, jewelry, dresses and just about everything is that I'm a niqabi and I just can't try on the things. None of the boutiques have try rooms here, I just dont know how am I going to get the cosmetics mainly the foundation and lipsticks. Any suggestions anyone?
