What’s your favorite lip combination? What mix of lipstick, gloss, or what-have-you makes your pucker stand out and call for attention? Perhaps tell us your favorite bold combination and favorite everyday combination, if that helps you to narrow it down!
I just love creating combinations, but there aren’t that many I end up revisiting (because I’m too busy finding new ones!). For awhile, I loved Fashionably Fuchsia lipstick + pinkish-purple glosses (Sweetie Cake, Hothouse). My standby combo is Mari-sheeno lipstick + a peachy/coral gloss (like Tartlette, Pink Grapefruit, Lychee Luxe).

Pressed powder in Olive 1 and 2
I had the opportunity to test drive Mineral Fusion’s Fresh Face Starter Kit, which is available for $20 ($120 value), so I thought it was a perfect chance to venture into the mineral makeup world (since I’m so not knowledgeable in that area!).
The kit includes:
- mineral fusion’s signature Pressed Base in two different shades;
- the Luster Bronzer Duo, a duo bronzer with a sheen glow as well as a matte finish;
- Kabuki Brush ;
- and the Hydration Mist, a blend of antioxidant and anti-aging nutrients in an instantly hydrating mist.
We are so lucky that reader Jessica swatched photos from the upcoming Antiquitease collection, which launches this Thursday, the 18th! Check out all of the photos and swatches goodness!
