What's your favorite bold lip combo?

What’s your favorite bold lip combo? Is it super bright?  Really vampy?  Share!

I have a thing for MAC Alta Moda Prolongwear, even though she doesn’t necessarily agree with my skintone.  Ultra red vamp!  I also have a crush on MAC Fashionably Fuchsia, an old, LE hot pink.

I love doing a super-vampy look by putting Buxom Lips in ‘Lana’ over Kat Von D’s Painted Love lipstick in ‘Homegirl’. It really brings out dark pink and red blush shades on my skin, making me look almost like a punky porcelain doll.

that’s an awesome l/g. i have mine and that color is opaque.

mine is a bit of a secret:

it consists of: Shu RD 190 + a red l/g which i won’t mention + shu red l/l.

For a dark bold I like Show Orchid l/s and Magnetique l/g. For a bright bold I like Saint Germain l/s with Delicate Crush l/g. All MAC BTW. 🙂

I love brights! At the moment I love Illamasqua Scandal, Revlon Strawberry Suede, MAC You Say Tomato Mattene, Lady Danger, Vegas Volt. Second Lady Bug as an easy-to-wear bright red.

I’ve never quite *loved* Show Orchid as much as everyone else seems to – the shimmer gets on my nerves and I don’t think the staying power is great.

For a super bright pink I like Stila’s pink lip enamel from the Barbie collection (I think “Giggle” is the same shade.)

My fave vampy look is Urban Decay Lip Gunk in Kiss or Chanel Scarlet lipstick.

For the ulitimate red pout I’d go with Illamasqua lipstick in Maneater or Box! These make your lips pop off your face!

I can seriously go on for days, I adore lip products.

I have a new bold lip combo. A mac MUA tried this last december: (NC42 skintone) Lipliner Currant and l/g decorative.I love it, but really have to motivate me to pull this off 😉

Laura Mercier Cranberry or Shu Uemura Pink Venus are both wonderfully bold in their own ways.

I really love how MAC Hang Up looks too, but it’s drying enough on my lips that I just don’t wear it anymore. =/

I love Nars Jungle red. line and cover with the liner, then just once over with the lipstick. It’s such an eye popping matte vampy red.
