Tips and Tricks: What To Do with a Blue Lip Mix!

The idea of blue lips always sounds so ridiculous. Until you actually wear it and realize it looks pretty cool.

I’m demonstrating with Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic’s Rx Lip Tar, which is a rich creme cobalt blue. It’s quite deep and strong in real life, but for some reason in white fluorescent light, it looks bright blue.

In 2 of the images, I applied Lime Crime’s deep indigo-blue glitter, Aquarius, over the Lip Tar. The glitter is darker than the gloss, so it created a deep metallic-looking effect. To see the intensity/depth of the final color, check out the low-light image above. (I apologize for the unfocused image; for some reason my camera doesn’t want to focus without light. I probably should have tried an indoor setting.)

This blue lipstick was really just for kicks and not something I’d actually dare to wear out. (I know, I’m a wimp.) I applied Lime Crime No She Didn’t Lipstick and placed a piece of Fimo flower (nail art) on top, using tweezers. 
I bought so many fimo canes on a lark last year, and never got around to using them for my nails much. (But I do love them on the face!) Now I’ve lost my slicing blade and I need to locate it…

Actually on a side note, this looks so much like blue cake icing, you wouldn’t believe it. Yum.
