FOTD: Still Trying New Things

I've been testing out the Bite High Pigment Pencils and originally planned on keeping all of the FOTDs back until that review post. I decided, though, that the close-up lip swatches would be a better focus for that post, so I'm going to start posting the FOTDs as I work through each shade. I got positive responses to the HD; hence, it stays! :)

Just a note that Quince is really sort of a cool-toned fuchsia/berry, but it photographs more red.

    Your skin looks incredible in the first 2 photos. Would you say that is the foundation choice? I have a similar complexion and I'm struggling to find the perfect foundation. It sounds like I need to try the MAC face and body foundation. Anyways, your natural beauty is flawless. It's hard to feel like less is more sometimes because I'm a beauty junkie, but this encourages me :)

      I think it's a mixture of things. To be fair, my skin is decent to begin with. MAC F&B is a great product, though, and layering a little Strobe Cream underneath the foundation often gives my skin that "soft focus" look in pictures. Ask your MAC counter for a sample! :)
