Look - Blood Lust Red Lips for the Day

Looks
Christine |

Yesterday, I did Bing + Jampacked… well, I also threw Cult of Cherry lipglass on top of that to see how it would look.  That’s what I’m showing you today 🙂  (Which is why I’m wearing the same shirt — these photos are from yesterday!) I put a little more blush on (just heavier), too.

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Raven kohl power (black-purple), Plushlash mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Blooming blush (soft pink)
  • Lips: Bing mattene (dark purple/black), Jampacked lipglass (dark purple), Cult of Cherry lipglass (bright red)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Raven = Foxy; Bing = Cyber; Jampacked = Desire; Cult of Cherry = Russian Red

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Line lower lash line with Ravek kohl power and apply Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Blooming blush using the 129. Apply Bing mattene to lips, and then top with Jampacked lipglass and Cult of Cherry lipglass for color and shine.

Nice lips, Christine!

But I am really curious to see how you will look if you used a lighter hand on your lower lashline / smudged it out / lined only the outer half of it with a dark colour + higlight inner corners / left it alone. 🙂

Oh, I like this lip look much more. Seems to fit your personality (blog-wise that is since I haven’t met you personally) more than the other one.

I liked this better with the Cult of Cherry lipglass added on top. Just a little too dark purple the other way, but I guess that’s what’s coming up for this fall. You look good in the dark colors though.

I think this look is one of the prettiest ì’ve ever seen on you so far. Something I couldn’t pull off , those lips … but I just might try anyway x)

Holy @!@##$^%*&! The LIPS! No idea if I could pull them off but I will sure as hell try when my CoC stuff arrives. 😛 The combination is just stunning and perfect for this dark fall lip that’s in. And I know you probably get tired of hearing this (actually, what am I saying? I wouldn’t!), but your lips are just sooo perfect. The shape of them is fantastic and you must be so proud of your pout. I would kill for lips like yours. Mine are small (width-wise) and my top lip is so thin. Worst combination ever. 🙁 I think your lip shape really helps make any lip combo look amazing.

This look is lovely on you, eyes cheeks and all!
you’ve given me inspiration for a look next time I’m out

I just got Rapturous matene l/s and cult of cherry l/g from the cult of cherry collection and it looks similar, I’m a NW43 pressed powder can’t wear the foundation a bit heavy.
let me know what you think Christine

Also a beautiful look for you!

I’m curious about the layering of the lipglosses. I’ve tried this before but they seem to be pretty sticky when I’m done do you have any tips?

Ugh, I’m “living for this lip” as one of my MAC MA’s would say. This is too sexy.

My only criticism would’ve been some highlight on the eyes to at least give them some dimension. Other than that, I love you and these dark lips.

You always knock it out the ball park 🙂 I think your wrong, both looks are amazing. Maybe for the purple look you should try MAC STADA blush, I got it at a CCO I think its an amazing color for fall but I may be wrong 🙂 Im so gonna purchase Blooming 😉

This is lovely Christine! It kind of reminds me of Alta Moda. You know, you’re so creative to mesh the glosses, for a completely different look. I feel like you can work both the dark purple lips and the dark red/berry lips equally well. The purple is just more extreme, but I think purple is a more difficult lip colour regardless of whether it’s light purple (o.O) or dark.

Oh.My.Gosh.

You rock it girl!!!! The lips! It looks awesomely fab on you! I think Bing + Jampacked was lovely, if a tad too dark. But this! This is stunningly GORGEOUS.

Two thumbs up! =D

PS: I think I should go look at the lipglasses again. *tee hee hee*
PPS: Won’t you say Kirsch looks very similar to Clinique’s Black Honey cult lippie?

This looks heavenly! Girl, your lips are to die for! Love looking at them and you always manage to take such great pics! Was wondering, is CoC gloss worth getting if I already have Check, please? TIA!

Oh dear! Well thanks! It looks lovely! Also thinking abuot getting one of the darker shades… as I’m NC10/15 it will look striking! CoC gloss would be a lovely pop for me I think, combined with a darker lippie.

And btw, is the Stylistics Tastemaker l/g worth getting? Wouldn’t it be great for this fall?
