The one where I use D for danger and Chili for spring!

18 March 2017


I love dark lips! I love the idea of a simple outfit with beautiful glowing skin and that pop of color on your lips, whether it’s a red, a fuchsia pink or maybe a bright orange if you feel adventurous ... Doesn’t really matter! Whatever suits your mood. It makes such a statement and it makes your entire look so sophisticated without even trying too hard.

Also, because my lips are more on the thin side, it’s such an opportunity to cheat a bit and make them look fuller for the day. Great! right?

So now that it’s spring, well it’s starting to feel like spring a tiny little bit, I usually say goodbye to some of my beloved dark lipsticks because I don’t really think their colors compliment the good weather.

Here I show you two of my favorite fall lipsticks in my collection, D for danger (here) and Chili (here) from MAC Cosmetics, and how do I make them work for me for spring!

So basically, what I do is I just put on my lipstick like I would usually do, over-lining and all, and then I use a cotton pad to blot it down and calm it, then I just use my finger to work it into my lips and you end up with a beautiful ‘stain’ on your lips. And the cool thing about it is that you can sheer it down to the max or built it up a bit more to your liking.

 D for danger (here) is an edgy berry lipstick, but it does look quite vampy which is “cool” for the cooler months; it’s just not really my cup of tea for spring and summer. When blotted down, it leaves you with the most beautiful pink berry stain.




Chili (here) on the other hand is a warm red, has the same texture as D for danger: matte, it is one of those rusty brick-orange reds that makes you think of autumn leaves. Blotted down, it leaves you with a reddish peachy stain.




If you did make it to the end of this post, I salute you! Thank you for stopping by and I hope this was helpful.
