"NAME YOUR NEMESIS DAY - LIPSTICK"

I’ve had my share of bad lipsticks in my day, and no matter how hard you try and what makeup you apply on the rest of your face to try to balance out the look, there are just some shades that make us look B-A-D.

So I wanted to shake it up a little and start a series of mini-polls to find out what items YOU dislike or can’t seem to wear well even though they seem to work fine on other people. Since this is sort of turning into a “lipstick week” for me, I’m starting with that!

My lipstick nemesis is… Lime Crime’s Cosmopop.

This is one of the prettiest lipcolors I’ve ever seen and porcelain-skinned babes look fantastic in it. On my yellow-based medium-fair NC25 Asian skin however, it brought out all sorts of undertones I never knew (and never wanted to know) I had.

If you’ve never seen how someone who is so many shades lighter can still end up looking like Snooki, that’s me in Cosmopop.

What’s that shade that totally kills it for you? (Reply to this post or put it in the Disqus bar below!)

  10. emeybird said: Revlon Nude Attitude will forever and always look like I’ve never owned a thing of chapstick in my life. Makes my lips look chapped and I look dead with the color. Its just not a nude color for my tan NW 30 skin.
  11. razorsdontbite said: I have to say, I think mine is foundation of any sort. I’m somewhere between Ivory and Classic Ivory, and I can never find just the right shade. They’re always either a tad too dark or a tad too light, and tend to make me look slightly ill.

  15. breathless-andblue said: It would probably be Covergirl’s lipstick in Sweetheart, for me. It has a cool undertone, and it’s a very girly pink, which I thought would compliment my fair, rosy skin. But it’s wayyy too silver-metallic; it’s gross.
  16. missietastic said: matte pale pinks do it for me. I look like I am suffering from some horrible disease
  17. nellelabellee said: cool, bright pinks look TERRIBLE on me. kinda like the pink snookis wearing. I can’t pull it off for anything
