Bright Winter Lippies

11/23/2011

4 Comments

 
All of the lippies in this series are recs from the ladies of the 12 Blueprints Facebook page, Christine Scaman, or my own swatches. 

If you're a Bright Winter, most of these colors will work on your lips  -  and your cheeks too, if you use them as blush.

Some may be a touch too warm, too cool,  too light or dark.  This is normal, because the variation of human coloring within a season means that not all women in a season wear the same colors on the face equally well. 

Some of these  are discontinued. Check eBay.

Try before you buy, if possible. 

Please do share feedback on the recs, or additional recs, in the Comments section.

Soft Autumn's Options for a Natural Lip

3/17/2011

2 Comments

 


The pics in this collage are close-ups of the lips of Soft Autumn celebrities wearing natural-looking makeup in good light.

The colors you see in this collage are pulled from the lips themselves. The collage actually started as an experiment to see whether the colors I pulled out would match colors in the Soft Autumn swatchbook. In fact, they do match several of Soft Autumn's light-to-medium peaches and pinks.

Picture
Notice that some of the pinks read as quite cool, while some of the peaches seem inarguably warm. This is a neutral, neutral season. Some of you SAs might find the shades at one end of this season's thermometer slightly more flattering than those at the other; that's normal. Others of you can wear the peaches and the pinks equally well.

Several Soft Autumns pointed out to me that SA can go deeper than this. It's true. This is more your I-woke-up-looking-this-fantastic lip than your sexy lip.

(Yes, we all get a sexy lip. But Soft Autumn's sexy lip color would barely register on a Bright Winter, while Bright Winter's sexy lip color would look clownish on Soft Autumn. It's all relative.)

Celebrity lips featured here include those of Drew Barrymore, Mischa Barton, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Ferrin, Naima Mora, Valeria Golino, Natasha McElhone, Gisele Bundchen, and Kelly Macdonald.

Embracing Winter Lips

3/12/2011

35 Comments

 
(Doesn't that sound romantic?)

From talking and listening to Winter women, particularly on the 12 Blueprints Facebook page, I've learned that deep, vivid Winter colors can take some getting used to.

It can be difficult for a newly identified Winter to see past the intensity of the color in a swatchbook and imagine how normal it will look on a Winter face.  Even seeing the color on the lip, it can be hard for a Winter woman to take in how the color is balancing the rest of the face.
Let's start with True (Cool) Winters.

Picture
The beauty industry has trained us to believe that a natural lip will necessarily be a medium peachy-beige color. Hence all the tubes of this shade that are called Nude Something.

A True Winter might believe such a color is the only hue that can create a natural look. Nude = natural, right?

Picture
Not in your case, True Winters. On a woman who needs both coolness and depth, this color looks anything but natural.


What will read as natural on you is a color you might not expect:
Picture


You know those cool, fairly bright, medium pinks in your swatchbook? The ones that look like Barbie cars? They look absolutely normal on a True Winter face.

Picture
Cool Winters Sarah Silverman, Mary Louise Parker & Shalom Harlow

Match the swatch; don't be afraid. In the tube it may seem very, very pink, but on your lip it will be natural.
PictureChristina Ricci

Doesn't this look loads more normal?

True Winter, when you see a shade that's supposedly "nude" or "flesh-toned," stay away from it. That's not your natural look.

(Probably it's True (Warm) Autumn's. Seems like all their best lippies are called Creamy Nude, Rosy Nude, Nude in the Afternoon, Nude at Breakfast, etc. A very sexy season, apparently.)

______________________________________________
Now, Dark (Deep) Winter... you are a Winter of another sort altogether.  A light lip won't cut it for you.
Picture


Consider this particular light, cool pink.
It might look natural on a Light Summer:

"My closet has totally transformed into something I like, but don't think about much. How amazing is that? I just walk in, grab something for the occasion and the weather, and go. Because it's all the same color season, it all blends. Because it's all the right style (my style, so who cares if it's 'in'? It looks good on me) I can rest assured it looks about right. It's really amazing.

"I waste a lot less time and money now with shopping. I can walk into a store and rule out 90% of the inventory. I now try things I never would have dared and happily pass over things I used to think I had to have. Shopping is just a hunt now, not a source of guilt. I feel like I'm a lot less wasteful and more mindful this way."
