This picture cracks me up. Check out the eyebrow. It just does that.
It turns out, everything I know about lipstick is wrong. All this time, I have been wearing matte, because its thicker, and so I figured it was more pigmented and had more staying power. Lies. We talked about the Retro Red, and today, I became the proud owner of NYX in Snow White.
Snow White is described as a Satin Finish, and basically everything I said about the Retro Red applies here. It slid right on, and it has stayed on all day. Probably even better than the Retro Red, which I think is probably because it is so dark.
When I saw the shade, I knew I wanted to get it because I thought it looked sort of dark and vampy and I wanted to try and go a little bit in the opposite direction of what I already had. I have to say, I love it. It IS vampy, though really not much darker than the Besame Red Velvet. I love the contrast against my light skin, and as I am sitting here writing this at 7:30 at night, it literally looks like I just put it on. I still love my mattes, but they have nothing (especially the MAC, which is bleedy as hell) on the satin finishes in terms of staying power. I am blown away.
End of the Day
