Today we're talking lipstick. You may or may not know this about me but when it comes to lipstick, I usually reach for nudes, peaches, and light pinks. I think these colors compliment my skin tone the most and more importantly I feel very comfortable wearing them. I do own brighter lipsticks such as MAC's Vegas Volt, Impassioned and Revlon's Carnation. I love these colors but often feel self-conscious and out of my comfort zone wearing them. Call me crazy but in the rare occasions I wear these out, I feel like people are staring at me. lol Most lipsticks are pretty adjustable, we all know that if you want a brighter lip apply it full force, if you want a hint of color then use a light hand. I've been looking for a color right in between that I can just apply and not think about so much. Something that's obvious but not too over the top, also something versatile. I think Fanfare is just it. I don't know what to quite call this color, it definitely falls in the pink category. Coral-y pink perhaps?

I love it because...
It brightens up my face
Looks beautiful with green eyes (as in my green contacts :)) and brings them out
Versatility; come summer or winter, Fanfare will work! Can be paired with many different types of eye make-up; grays, browns, neutrals or even just mascara and eyeliner
Cremesheen formula is very moisturizing, applies like a dream, has a glossy finish and provides medium to full coverage
Color pay-off & pigmentation

Before swatches and even before comparing them side by side in the tubes I thought Fanfare looked a lot like NYX's Tea Rose. They actually don't! I just wanted to swatch them both so you can see the difference between the two.

Fanfare will surely be a staple in my lipstick collection. Such a shame that it's so underrated!
Lovely colour and it brightens you indeed!!!You look gorgeous hun!!

So pretty colors! They really look good on your skin tone. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I hate the feeling of thinking everyone is looking at me when wearing bright lippies. Fanfare looks amazing against your skintone.
ReplyDeletePS. LOVEEEE your new bangs :)
PSS. Did you spend all day applying this lipstick in front of a mirror?!?! ;)
i love that shade!! i have been wanting a lipstick similar to that shade ever since i dyed my hair darker!! and you look lovely on the last photo <3

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness i can never open up to darker lipsticks idk why! lol but this looks really nice on you, lovin the color...and u look so pretty with your hair like that!
ReplyDeleteAhh you look gorge!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you about bright lippies like vegas volt, I am not willing to shell out for soemthing I will wear ocasionally and may feel silly in
This is gorge though, I will definitely pick it up next time I go to MAC
It looks lovely with your tan aswell!
Great post girly!
x x
Really pretty!! :) The shades really compliment you.
ReplyDeleteI can't get into lipstick! I always stick with a gloss. I don't know what it is, maybe the feel, of lipstick but I hate it. Have any favorite glosses?
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! BTW - did you cut your bangs? If so, looks nice!
ReplyDeleteThx for the comment, yeahhhh...Dolce's not feeling good. Today was a bad day also. =( It sucks-I get depressed seeing her not feeling good-that's why I haven't been posting/blogging/vlogging much lately! Besides the fact that we have to give her so much medicine, shots, and dialysis. ugghh
ANYWAYS...I love this lipstick! And it looks fab on you!! =)
I've never heard of Fanfare...why?? It looks gorgeous on you! I actually have Tea Rose and while they're similar, Fanfare is prettier in my opinion so that means I need it now. I love that photo of you...I can't really tell but it looks like your hair is doing something really pretty and I like it :)
ReplyDeletewow very very pretty shades..you are looking beautiful...the colors suit on you...
ReplyDeleteooooh very nice, im obsessed with mac lipsticks, i carry about 3 in my make up bag because i can never decide what colour to wear

@Blushingloves, thanks hun! There is definitely something about this lipstick, love how it makes my face brighter :)
ReplyDelete@ Hell Notes for Beauty, thank you! I’m glad I finally bought a lipstick not because ‘I heard good things about it’ but because it really works for me! :)
@ Obsessed.Makeup.Addict, Ohhh I so knew you’d agree! Thanks lovey!
PS. It took a while to get used to them lol but overall I like them.
PSS. Ummm hell yeah I did! Hahaha! :p
@ augustalolita, you will look gorgeous with this lipstick and with dark hair, thanks so much for your sweet comment :)
@ Princess Feef, Yep it is! Nobody talks about it though, I think it’s beautiful and so underrated. I know you love crazy colored lippies and believe me you look VERY gorgeous with them. I guess I can make them work too but I just don’t feel too comfortable wearing them lol
@ ChunLi Beauty, cok merci sekercim o senin guzelligin. Bu renk sendede guzel durur bak, sari sac+yesil goz+fanfare=fistik! :)
@ Amira, You and I both hun! I guess it’s a matter of feeling comfortable wearing it. Thanks so much! ;)
@ Darling heart, Thank you girlie! I bought them because they look pretty. I mean Vegas Volt is still doable for me, I bought it knowing I’ll wear them. I bought Impassioned years ago because at the time I thought it was a beautiful color. And it really is! I just can’t really wear it so much :/ Pick up Fanfare, it is a very pretty color and makes you feel at ease while wearing color :)
@ Rainy Days and Lattes, thanks so much! :)
@ LindseyLove, really? I love lipstick. Perhaps you haven’t found the perfect shades for you? These days with youtube and blogs, it’s really easy to fall for a color because so and so talked about how much they love it. I’m sure there are some lipsticks that will compliment you very prettily :) I do love lipglosses too though. Some of my favorites are, MAC’s BoyBait, Underage, Revlon’s Coral Reef, NYX’s LaLa…
@ NYCShopaholic, thanks lady! Yes I did. At first I thought I made a huge mistake and it took me a while to get used to them. It’s a matter of time I guess. Now I really like them :) I’m praying that she’ll be right back to being the cute little pooch that she is! She’s adorable and deserves to be healthy! :)
@ WillWorkForMakeup, Nobody talks about it, that’s why! :) Check it out next time you head to MAC ;) Tea Rose is pretty on it’s own way too but I love the texture of Fanfare much more. Thanks so much for being so sweet all the time! :) I did cut my bangs and trying to figure out some different ways to style them and this was one of them. I like how they look so I guess I’ll stick to styling them this way :)
@ Rakhshanda, thanks a lot hun! :)
@ Rianna Bethany, good to know there are more of us who are obsessed lol I thought I was crazy! I’m totally with you, I carry more lipsticks with me than I ever need lol
COlor is lovely and you look really gorgeous
