14 Days of Ravishing Red! — Day 2: Creamy Scarlet Lips With NARS Rita Lipstick and MAC Brick Lip Liner

February 2nd, 2018 by Karen 8 Comments

Rrrrrrred!

Are you ready for 14 Days of Ravishing Red? Stay tuned as we explore ravishing red ? lipsticks, lip liners and glosses every day on our way to ? Valentine’s.

Me when El Hub said that all of my red lipsticks look the same to him:

I mean, come on! Sure, this NARS Rita lipstick and MAC Brick liner combo I’m wearing above is red, and warm, and has a touch of orange in it, just like the Thrillest/Holy Red combo yesterday, but it has WAY less orange in it.

Like, if that Thrillest/Holy Red look has a dollop o’ orange, this Rita/Brick look has just a tinge.

Still, both are warm and red and orange-y, but within that similarity, they’re completely different!

At least that’s what I tell myself as I lust over my 573rd tube of red lipstick…

I think with scarlet red lips like these, it’s nice to wear orange-y browns on the lids, because you can play with the orange theme without it being totally obvious. Something like MAC Texture, MAC Saddle or the NARS Wanted Palette would totally work!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      Surprisingly El Hub knows a lot about brows, LOL! I talk about them all the time so it was only inevitable that he’d learn a thing or two.

    Oh, El Hub – such a kidder! 😉 I’ll bet he could tell the difference immediately if they were on a row of Lambos or Ferraris. HAHA!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
