Face slimmed, chin rounded, nose slimmed, skin de-blemished, eyes enlarged, eyelashes added, makeup changed. And it took about two minutes and I have no idea what the heck I am doing! Imagine what someone who knows what they're doing can do?
The pictures that I post are (99% of the time) not retouched. I want people to see these colors and know what they would actually look like in real life. Not only should makeup be fun, it should be accessible to everyone. Everyone can wear bold lip colors. Everyone can try different styles. If I can do it, being a thoroughly regular looking person, its something anyone could do.
Now, onto the subject at hand! I have been wanting to try Lorac for awhile, and had some time today, and decided not only to try them out, but try two colors that I would typically never wear. I started out looking at the glosses, but they were so, so sheer, and I was really looking for something opaque.
I decided to try out their Pro Matte LipColors which are crayons that twist up so they do not need to be sharpened. I honestly cannot remember the last time I loved a product this much. For matte colors, the formula is super soft and moisturizing. It slid right on. It has grape seed oil and vitamins C & E in it, and it stayed soft all day. It wasn't drying at all, but it had incredible staying power. I could not have been more impressed.
I hardly ever wear anything pink, so I thought it would be fun to try the two brightest colors I could find. I didn't particularly expect to like either one of them on me. And, at least with the coral, I was right.
I was immediately in love with the formula, and it smelled super yummy to boot. It was just a little too orange-y on for my liking. If I was blonde, or had a tan, this would be perfect. But, since I am neither, the Coral was not for me.
Next up was the Fuchsia, which is super duper bright. I was figuring I would hate bright pink, but as it turns out I loved it, and it was the Fuchsia I ended up wearing out.
See how bright?
I don't even think the pictures, and my goofy faces, do it justice. I didnt expect to find it flattering, but I really did, and whats more, I think this color would look great on anyone. Its bright enough to hold its own against tan skin, and pinky enough to work with pale chicks like me. Red heads have the narrowest group of colors we can wear and not look dumb, so it was a total surprise to me that I loved it.
Even better, it stayed in place all day.
By the time I left work at 5:30, it was still totally in place, after eating, drinking, talking, working, etc. I seriously cannot think of any of the lipsticks I have that stay put this well. This product comes in a huge variety of colors, and I cant wait to try out more of them. At $18, these are a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. This is a go-to, and you should definitely give them a try out.
