Please could someone look at this picture of my face and tell me if I need some lipstick on?

Or should I just wash my face and start again? I'm trying something new, I usually wear red lips, neutral eyes, but it's not very summery. I need a summer look.

It's the bare lips, I feel undressed.

Do you have a pic with red lips?

BunnyLebowski · 07/06/2013 18:09

Your lips look pinky red, like you've got that benetint stuff on!

Hawt - nothing else required Grin

You are good to go I think.

Lipstick is very much a winter thing IMO, in the summer it looks too much and kind of sweaty.

lissieloo · 07/06/2013 18:10

I'd just add a gloss, tbh.

colditz · 07/06/2013 18:10

Lips are their own colour, no gloss or anything. Thx.

I will try to dig out a red lip pic

Fgs. I am crap. Apparently no, I can't.

You have very similar colouring to me. Except I have had to go lighter to cover grey hairs.
Bit of gloss and you're there, I wojld say.
I don't tend to wear lippy in summer.

Lizzylou · 07/06/2013 18:17

Oh and a less serious expression!

There, red lips.

From those two pics, I prefer red lips and whiter skin tbh. Who cares about summer? Go with your inner goth, I can tell you want to.

CarpeVinum · 07/06/2013 18:20

That is your own colour lips ?

I think you look lovely. Add lip balm if your lips feel too nekkid.

almapudden · 07/06/2013 18:21

You're pretty! I think you look nicer (albeit v serious) in the first picture, but I don't really like red lipstick anywaym

Lizzylou · 07/06/2013 18:25

Red lips look great on you.
Not too wintery at all.

valiumredhead · 07/06/2013 18:34

I prefer the second style, red lips and less blusher looks nicer imho but you look lovely either way tbh :)

colditz · 07/06/2013 18:39

Thank you all so much, veg kind messages, have had mini nervous fit and wipes half the eyeshadow off, replaced with red lippy.

It was like not wearing pants. Just wrong.

Am resistant to lip change. I will be brave another day.

Now that looks fabulous, you look great Smile

Ashoething · 07/06/2013 18:42

Stick with the red lips! I like a vintage look but still haven't managed to find a red lippy that doesn't make me look like a clown or illAngry

ZipItShrimpy · 07/06/2013 18:45

Red lips looks fab. Much nicer with the big smile too. You are bonny. Smile

Yes, stick with the red lips! Summer or no, it suits you beautifully. TBH I feel nekkid without lippy, usually red but sometimes a screaming pink, actually it might be a good sort of shade for you too. Usually here.

Envy at your natural lip colour though. wow.

MrsLettuce · 07/06/2013 18:54

erm, yeah, sorry. It's Mac girl about town.

maristella · 07/06/2013 18:54

colditz you have fab eyes! Lippy looks great, but I think that making the most of your eyes while wearing a lip gloss would also work really well Smile
