Red Gradient Lips and Nails

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

Usually I don't go all matchy-matchy with my makeup and nails. However, I did a subtle red gradient lips today and thought it'd be neat if my nails looked like my lips, only with more black. I didn't want my lips to have that 90's dark lip liner look, remember that?

I used NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Terre de Feu all over my lips, then used Estee Lauder Artist's Pencil in Soft Smudge Black to line the lips. I used a lip brush to blend that in, then used OCC Lip Tar in Harlot in the center of my lips.

Other products used on my face:

Brows: NARS Bali shadow, NYX Eye Brow Shaper

Eyes: Inglot M 318, Urban Decay Secret Service, NYX HD Eye Shadow Base, La Femme Eye Liner Sealer, Calvin Klein Night Dust

Face: Black Radiance Complexion Perfection, MUFE Full Cover Concealer, a mix of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk + MUFE HD Foundation, Stila Peony Convertible Color, Dot Dot Translucent Powder

On my nails I used Zoya Posh and Wet'n'Wild Black Creme for a sponged gradient. Definitely not the best gradient I've done since the nails were an afterthought- I was in a hurry to get out the door!

Thanks for checking this look out!
