I See Your True Colors: Volume Two

Look out, lipstick lovers, we've got a frosty shade of lavender that's about to make you think twice about your usual nude.  This one isn't for the faint of heart.  In fact, if you're feeling faint anywhere on your person, you may want to sit down, or get a glass of water.  But if you're itching for a switching, and you're watching our swatching, you're in store for a great treat.  MAC Cosmetics is famous for their wow-factor color choices, and this is a great hue to have in your arsenal, since it's quirky and fabulous on its own, but can easily be incorporated into a work-day look.  For success with this color, you'll always want to line your lips prior to applying the color.  This prevents too much wash-out, and defines lips, an important thing to consider when choosing super light shades.  Since it's frosted, you can skip the gloss if you want, and you'll still have that lip-smacking shine.  You're ready for a night out in just two steps.  Now, to make it work-appropriate, glide a small amount of color on to lined lips, and follow with a pink or peach-toned gloss.  This will neutralize some of the blue, bringing the effect to a slightly more mild roar.  Our model is rocking the shade au naturel.  After all, who needs clothes when everyone's going to be looking at your lips?
