BOLD or Bad.!?

Recently as I did my weekly trend seeking, while browsing the internet, I ran across a new fad...what I like to call candy lips.!
  
Of course to some this may not be a new fad because back in the day you could catch artist like Lil Kim rocking a similar style heavy.   

Now you can catch certain entertainment divas like Tae Heckard , Keyshia Dior, Amber Rose & Rihanna 
rocking this stlye..

 


Keyshia Dior (pictured above in white lipstick) recently launched her own line of bold lip color. 
I visited her website Ka'oir

 I must say afterwards I was very tempted to place an order. Not only does she have so many shades to choose from, but they all have very fun names as well.! 

WANT THE LOOK?
But like many of you out there I was not sure what shade, if any, would look right with my skin tone. So to solve that problem I took to the web and stumbled across a website (which url i dont remember, sorry! ). It gave very good instructions on how at home beauty products could be made into lip color in order to test shades before you go out and buy them..... exciting right.!?

1. Gloss your lips with lip chap or very thin layer of lip gloss.
2. Find an eye shadow ( close to the lip shade you are dreaming of ). 
3. Take a small eye shadow brush ( or your finger ) and apply a generous amount of shadow to your lips. 
( Depending on what shade you are going for apply as much or as less that you would like. )
4.Take a lip gloss ( preferably the one with a brush ) and apply a thin layer of gloss on top of the eye shadow.

& now you have candy lips.!


(excuse my ratchetness it was an early morning project)

These are products of my result.! I have to say even having fair skin ( work with me now! ) it turned out fab.! I could see myself rocking candy lip colors, but just certain shades. Also depending where I'm wearing them to. You won't just catch me chilling on the couch watching tv with electric blue lips.! So.. I guess I'm off to buy my first official color lip stick... until next time luvs.!
