FOTD: Nudes

I pretty much never wear nude shades on my lips, especially if my eyeshadow is neutral. Not enough color! I needs mah gaudy colors! But I was inspired by the fact that Lipstick Queen Pink Sinner is more peach-beige than pink, I've been reading tons of 90s stuff, and the Pixiwoo sisters recently recorded a Vanessa Paradis tutorial that rocked my socks. Unfortunately, I ran in to a few problems. The Wet n' Wild cream liner is great...if you get a good batch. I got a meh pot. The Milani Luminous blush I used is the super-old-school one, and it barely has any shine or shimmer, so I had to add an extra highlighter. I tried applying MAC Face & Body with my hands, as per this video, but I didn't find the finish to be anything new or special. (It didn't look bad, though.) Lastly, this look didn't photograph all that way; it looked much nicer in person, and the lip combination was far more beige. Whatever. I looked fierce while I did my laundry!
