Thrifted top
DRKGMTRY necklace
F21 jeans
Acne wedges
Scored this shirt at le Hood-weezy. It’s perfect. I hadn’t found anything that I would describe as perfect in a long time, but the combination of drape and the fabric’s weight make this a dream.

I think I’m finally over my fear of bright red lips. For the ones I’m sporting here, I took the Sugarpill Love eyeshadow that I got a while back and pressed it into the lip conditioner I was wearing. Methinks I should take a trip to the MAC store to get a proper lipstick. Although I’m well pleased with the results of using what I already had on hand, I’m not too sure if wearing eyeshadow on your lips is the healthiest thing to do.
I think I finally get why some people forgo makeup with the exception of a signature red. The hunt begins now…Russian Red and Ruby Woo are looking like winners.

On an completely unrealated note, I fucking love Lulu.

NOOOOOOOO!!! What shade are you using?
Eyeshadow on the lips is definitely innovative but yes, please get proper lipstick! (That is a lovely shade of red though.) And I really, really, desperately want your eyeglasses.
That is all.

You are so beautiful — you make it look EASY. Right now, I look like someone who stood next to a suicide bomber in the cosmetics department of Sears.

Girl, BYE! =P
I think you’ve perfected face photos. Truly, you should teach a course. Your lips look impeccable, I think you should start investing in lots of different colors and model them for us!

=D This is how I’m looking at most things during the day…with a slight frown or look of “what the fuck?” like this here:

the color looks great on you!
and i think if you can wear it on the eyes, its ok for the lips.
would be more concerned about putting proper lipstick on your eyes.
i am soo logical….
fabilous look overall.

And it looks DOPE ON YOU. I always mean to ask you what lipstick you’re wearing…and I probably did at some point.
Ruby Woo seems to be the favorite among peeps.
That red lipstick looks absolutely wonderful on you. If I had beautiful plump lips like you, I’d be wearing it day in, day out.

That exact shade of red is great on you. And your eyebrows are stunningly perfect. As are your shoes… drool…

Aww, Sui!!!
i LOVE the red lips on you, and you have such gorgeous lips, to be able to pull it off so well. i love both russian red and ruby woo the most. but the texture of ruby woo throws me off a little and they are so similar. i would go with russian red. do it!

Thanks, T!!! I’ll have to go try out both of them.
honestly, color is color. if it’s safe enough for your eyes, you can wear it on your lips. people advise on getting lipstick because re-applying must be a bitch. on second thought, maybe not so much…but whatevs. i’ve worn lipstick on my eyelids, eyeshadow on my lips and cheeks…lipstick on my cheeks…its your world, dollface!

right now – i’m just making lots of notes to self 1) embrace the leather wedge 2) redlipsredlipsrelips!
i think i’m too orange to wear RED, but my momma always told me that the red i should wear needs to have blue tints, or whatever that means.
