Ive been finding that this is the case with make up. There are a few looks that everyone else seems to love rocking lately that i just cant buy into on me. So,Question: Whats the one make up look or technique that you love on everyone else but you hate on yourself?
For me the answer is always Nude Lips. There are many of you who look incredible in this look. Its a great way to play up the focus to the eyes but I cant stand the way I look with nude or pale lips. I look dull and dead and really not at all attractive. Nude Lips + Me = Ick!
I don't so much mind my distaste for my face with nude lips. I can deal with it and have accepted that I am just a bright lips kinda gal, but i do mind this next one. I mind it a lot. I wish, I mean I REALLY wish i could do the whole black smudgy dark eye thing. Sooo uber sexy on anyone...except me.
Urgh just toooooo stunning for words. But on me, the second i take the shadow or smudgy kohl liner anywhere near the inner corner of my eye i look ridiculous. Less Rockchic Chic and more overdosed panda. Not a good look.
So Make me feel better, what look would you love to be able to pull off but just cant? Tell me dear people, that I am not the only one with a face that dashes my hopes for the best make up! Please say it ain't so!?
i can't wear bright lipsticks, i would love to as i love the look, but everytime i put some on i just feel ridiculous and have to remove it right away!
ReplyDeleteI think that especially with lips you're one or the other, either pale or bright. Maybe we should take part in a show just like Superskinny v Supersize to shock us into swapping sides!
ReplyDeleteI am so pale I have to be really ultra careful with bronzer, and not go overboard as it looks completely and utterly ridiculous!
ReplyDelete@ MizzWorthy, me too!I rarely, if ever reach for a bronzer and only then for a wee bit of contouring. I like to embrace the pale.

ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure you'ld look gorgeous in everything! I understand though, for some reason I feel odd if I wear nude lips, but if I have on some crazy color I'm totally confident. ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Colette. Im with you all the way!
ReplyDeleteThat whole tomato scenario = me every spring/summer! I love tomato sauce, and generally don't mind them cooked etc, but biting into a juicy, succulent looking, home-grown fresh tomato makes me want to vomit! So sad :(
ReplyDeleteBack onto topic...I think I'm with you on the smokey eye thing...maybe someone with better skills could pull it off on me, but I just can't make it look 'right'!
I also agree with MizzWorthy on the bronzer thing, just can't make that work!
Also, bright lips ala Hele, just won't work on me, I feel like some kind of circus clown!
*sigh* you're not alone, don't worry! x x x
@ Laura, lolling at you tomato related grief. I hope we can deal with it this spring.x
ReplyDeleteIt's the same with Olives...I had some once in a Tapas place, and really quite enjoyed there...since then, they make me heave, they all taste wrong...but I SO want to like them!!! x x x
