The Kim Kardashian Lip

Kim Kardashian is known for many things. One of those things is her infamous ‘nude lip’. I have read that one of her favorite lip combos is MAC’s Angel lipstick with NARS’ Turkish Delight. This color combination looks beautiful when your eyes are played up more and you want to maintain focus on your eyes.

I own NARS’ Turkish Delight, but not MAC’s Angel lipstick, so I went on the hunt for something in my storage drawer that could be a dupe to create that gorgeous lip combo.

I ended up finding a light pink shade called Innocence from an Estee Lauder Lip Palette and dabbed it onto my lips. Then I applied the milky pink Turkish Delight lip gloss by NARS. 

I think that I got my combination pretty similar to Kim’s in the picture. I don’t think it really matters what light pink lipstick you use because Turkish Delight seems to be what puts it all together.

What combination would you put together for the Kim Kardashian lip?

Inspired Coppery-Peach Lips

I love being inspired by the things I see. Whenever I do see something that I like, I put it in something I call my Look Book (I’ll be doing a separate post about it very soon for those of you who are interested :) For this post I am going to talk about beautiful model Gia Johnson-Singh, who inspired me in the Tia Maria commercial. 

Gia Johnson Singh- Tia Maria commercial

 I think she looked absolutely stunning in that advertisement, but I especially like the lipstick she wore. I was determined to find my own version of this kind of color and I have found something that I am quite happy with.

 

The lipstick I am talking about is by Estee Lauder and is called “Tiger Eye”. I’ve had it in my storage drawer for so long because I was not a fan of the color in the tube (I never actually wore it).  Recently, however, I went through some of my products hidden in that drawer and decided to swatch the color. To my surprise, it was not what I expected to see. In fact it was a beautiful shimmery,  coppery-peach shade; my perfect comparison for replicating Gia’s lipstick.

Estee Lauder Tiger Eye

I think this color is perfect for the summer because it alone, warms up your face without having to wear bronzer. The color has a bronze undertone that gives you a sun-kissed glow. I absolutely love it! So I guess this is another one of those times when you learn something new:  Don’t judge a lipstick by its …tube color? LOL

What’s your summertime pick for lipstick?
