I think it’s safe to say that if you’re a true Vintage Doll
nothing gets your juices flowing like that perfect shade of red lipstick it’s
not only the pistereistance to that perfect ensemble but when you find your
perfect shade…there’s nothing in the world that makes you feel sexier. But on
the other hand nothing can also be more complicated. The millions of brands,
shades, tones the choices are endless and confusing, not to mention the countless
number of beauty rules that we can never seem to keep up with. Are we a summer
or winter, cool or warm? Do I tell this by my veins? Or skin tone? And if its skin
tone how the hell am I supposed to determine that, I’m not a makeup artist?
Then they’re the different undertones to consider for example brown-based reds,
blue-based red, orange-based reds and so on. I mean let’s face it Dolls finding
your perfect shade sometimes can feel like rocket science. However in my
opinion like most things we its way more hard then in needs to be, so before we
go on I must admit I am by no means an expert on makeup. In fact to be honest I’m
not a big makeup wearer but, I never leave the house without my lipstick so I can
tell you a thing or two on the subject. So first I’ll share tips I’ve picked up
along the way that’ll help everyone. Then I’ll share some special tips for all
my fellow special Bronze Goddesses out there.
There
two ways to do this, we’ll begin the original. The easiest way to successfully hunt down that perfecto red is to find out your personal undertone.
The easy way but also potentially costly is to go to your local
department store makeup counter and have your colors done, however you can easily
do it yourself. Here are a few ways how.
