FOTD - Geisha

Hi lovelies,

I have been lovin' the neutral eyes, bold lips look lately, ever since I have received my Milani Color Perfect lipsticks (in Rose Hip and Mandarina) from my Cherry Culture haul. They are both GORGEOUS colours and they are priced at a mere U$4.99, still pretty inexpensive after taking into account shipping and exchange rate. The colours are super pigmented too. Will do a more detailed review soon. I am absolutely in love with them, especially Rose Hip! It reminds me of Petals and Peacocks from MAC Liberty of London range, which I didn't have the "honour" of owning it as I can't justify myself to pay A$41 for a lipstick, even if its limited edition and the colour is freakin' gorgeous!

Anyways, as the title suggests for this post - this look is geisha inspired. It was kinda unintentional too. By that, I meant I was simply planning to try out my new Mandarina lipstick without the ghostly white geisha face to match with it. Little did I know that whipping out my BioEssence BB Cream which I conveniently ignored most of the time made me look extremely white (and gross) compared to my favourite Etude House Magic BB Cream which gives me that dewy, natural glow. . That's probably why I barely reach out for it. =.=" You will probably get what I mean in the photos below.

Since Mandarina is a bold colour, I did like to keep all attention on my lips and go with a neutral eye make up.

The usual champagne and brown colour - which is one of my favourite combinations. =)

Isn't this colour just so lovely??? =)))

See what I mean by the geisha effect? 

Flash and my chubby cheeks never goes well together. :(

Really not liking how pale I look after applying the BB cream but I guess it results in the "geisha effect" with the lip colour.




Have you tried any lipsticks from Milani Color Perfect Range? Which is your favourite?

XOXO,
A

Super pretty! I haven't tried any of the Milani lipsticks, I do love their pencil eyeliners though so I might like those.
