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.

Wow you look fab in red lipstick in last pic.

BIWI · 07/06/2013 19:15

Looking at the first picture I would have said you looked absolutely fine. And then when I saw the second one - well goodness me! You look absolutely gorgeous, and the red lipstick really suits you.

MrsMeow · 07/06/2013 19:36

I'm late to the party as ever but you're gorge! I love your eyes in the first one but def wouldn't wear a dark lipstick with them as it would be too much. Red lipstick looks AMAZING on you though, especially with the specs! I'd be tempted to tone the eye makeup down and stick with the red lips instead, like in the last pic. You look lovely :)

lissieloo · 07/06/2013 19:50

Wow, you look gorgeous with red lippy!

ThePathanKhansAmnesiac · 07/06/2013 19:52

Colditz I always imagined you as an ice cold blond! You're quite lovely!

TheCrackFox · 07/06/2013 19:59

You look great with red lips; a look I can't pull off at all.

As an aside I have always imagined you to be older as you cone across as very wise.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 07/06/2013 20:00

colditz you look fab with red lipstick, I've honestly rarely seen anyone who it suits so well :)

Callycat · 07/06/2013 20:04

You've got pretty eyes Smile

GuyMartinsSideburns · 07/06/2013 20:45

Ooh you look fab Smile

And I love your hair v much

seizetheafternoon · 07/06/2013 20:52

Well, I think it depends whether it's just a general everyday look or a bit of a going out look. You have lovely pink lips, so as others have said, you're good to go as per first pic.
If you felt like doing a bit more, were going out etc, then the red looks absolutely gorgeous on you. And, I don't think it matters that it's summer. If you want to wear it then I could see it being fine with whatever you had on, whether tracky bottoms and a t shirt, jeans and a tshirt, or anything really.

SirRaymondClench · 07/06/2013 20:54

Colditz you're very pretty and stylish.

I am very Envy

practicality · 07/06/2013 21:01

I think you are a winter of some sort ( clear most prob) and we NEED lipstick. No blusher though.

I CANNOT do a natural lip at all as I look washed out and just, well too plain. You look stunning in the reds/brights.

Bunbaker · 07/06/2013 21:10

Your lips without lipstick have far more colour than mine. I am in the minority and prefer you without lipstick.

Foosyerdoos · 07/06/2013 21:29

I think you look amazbobs in the last pic, the red lippy looks fabby. But you are so pretty and young and have amazing skin. I think you look really goodin all the pics. Well jel Grin

hollyisalovelyname · 07/06/2013 21:31

In first pic you look like you have pink(ish) lipstick on. (Lucky you. mine are deathly pale.) I think it's nicer than the red tbh. Just add a nice pinky gloss to your lips.

krazipan · 07/06/2013 21:32

I'm very jealous that you can pull off red lippy Confused

colditz · 07/06/2013 23:44

Wow guys thank you v much!

I did want be brave and ditch the lippy, but just couldn't. It had to go on. It is strictly for going out though, I don't wear makeup at all in the day, can't be bothered

Red lipstick looks brill on you - I love that last photo of you, its the look I really want but can't pull off Envy I can't wear lipstick at all - I look ridiculous in it.

FourLittleDudes · 07/06/2013 23:49

My hair is about the same lenght, colour and curliness as yours so why can't I wear lipstick. I am jealous!

ouryve · 07/06/2013 23:54

Lips look fine. If you want heavy eyeliner, you might want to try upping the concealer around the eyes, though.

ouryve · 07/06/2013 23:56

The second pic looks fab - and I think the red specs actually help as much as the lipstick. The first pic looked a bit morning after the night before.

MummaBubba123 · 08/06/2013 06:48

Red lips looks fantastic on you. Less UNDER-eye makeup, though.

cornypedicure · 08/06/2013 14:23

wow you have gorgeous lips

BIWI · 08/06/2013 14:40

You realise we're all perving after you now, colditz?! Grin
