Nearly a month ago, I was introduced to freelance makeup artist and entrepreneur, Ciara Richbow. Ciara recently created her own lip gloss line, CiCi Couture Cosmetics and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few shades.
I have a favorite shade for whatever mood I’m in – True Love, a pinkish beige color, works for my chill days, when I don’t want to make a fuss about makeup ; Surge, a coral color is when I’m feeling lively and vibrant ; Sassy, a scarlet/reddish orange color, is pretty much self-explanatory and Naked, is a nude shade, perfect for when I’m bringing the drama with my eyes.
True Love, Surge, Sassy & Naked
Not only do I LOVE the colors, I love the fact that they’re non-drying and long-lasting.You can check out the rest of line here
Today I’m rocking “Sassy”, my new signature color.
Interesting enough, I came across an article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal that talked about the popularity of bright lipstick (“Very Bright Lipstick All the Time”).
