You can rock this! When trying a bolder look, sometimes you just need time to adjust and get used to it. I vote for sticking it out for the rest of the day, and then wearing the look around the house a few more times before you try it out in public again. It sounds silly, but I do it all the time. I think it helps me gain confidence and allows me to feel more comfortable in colors that are new to me.

today I ventured out into the world of bold lip colors. I wore Clinique citrus rose (a bright coral/pink/red) blotted, then topped off with Lancome color fever gloss in combustible. I am a medium toned African American woman with gold- red undertones. I kept the rest of my makeup clean and subtle. The color makes my lips and face pop but I still am self conscious…I usually only wear pinky- brown nudes. What do you think? Can I rock this or should I slink back home and wipe this stuff off?
