Minnie Mouse Red!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween Weekend!!

I was able to round up a last minute Halloween Costume this year:  1 pair of ears ($7.99)+ black tank top ($3-already have a million in my closet) + red tutu ($26)  +black leggings ($3) and tada! I was Minnie Mouse!! The toughest detail to decide for my Minnie costume was which red lipstick to wear!!

Typically with my tanner skin tone, I tend to go for deeper burgundy tones when I want to wear red liptick.  I don’t wear bright red lips very often but dressing up as Minnie Mouse definitely called for a fun, bright, true red lippie! I gathered some of my bright reds from my makeup collection and here were the finalists!!

elf Matte Lip Color in Rich Red $3.00

Shiny bright candy red. Had to add a couple extra layers to achieve a true bright red. First layer showed up as a purpley-pink shade.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Sad Girl $20.00

This is my go-to shade when I want dark lips! Gorgeous burgundy, deep wine shade. Dries matte but has a little bit of sparkle and dimension. As much as I love this shade, it didn’t seem Minnie-Mousey enough for me.

Nars Velvet Matte Lipcolor in Cruella $26.00

This lip color was a hand-me-down from my mom and I’ve been excited to use it! Excellent pigmentation and came out as a beautiful true rich red with an orange undertone.

Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Coulis $24.00

Very similar in both shade and quality of pigmentation as the Nars lip color but felt a little creamier when applying. Gorgeous red shade with impressive pigmentation. Pointed tip of the lip crayon made it easy to apply and control.
