(Me time) Orange vs pink lippies!

I loooove lipsticks. I love collecting them. I love wearing them but I always forget to hehe.

And I particularly love coral and orange lippies! I'm just drawn to these 2 colours. They're just so happy and bold. 

Well the thing is, during my make up class, I found out that warm colours don't really suit me. That includes orange and coral! *heart breaks* 

I decided to do another test today to confirm this. You can tell I'm kinda in denial because I have so many warm or orange base products. Was secretly hoping that my instructor was wrong lol.

According to my make up instructor, a good way of testing is to separately try on a pink and orange based lipstick and see which suits you better. Sooooo I tried on these three colours:

Bourjois colour boost - Fuchsia Libre

Laneige hydrating lipstick - YR27

Nyx Matt lipstick - Audrey

I took photos to get a better sense of how I like. Looking at the mirror alone can be deceiving!

Anyways, the 1st and 3rd lipsticks are pink based lippes which I haven't been using because I always thought they were too pink for me. I thought coral and orange were better for me! That's kinda why I have like 4-5 orangey lip products -.- 

But as you can see, I obviously look better wearing pink! The orange lipstick somehow makes me look duller even though it's such a bright pop of colour. I look more radiant wearing pink. The 3rd colour looks nice even though it seems too pink when I look at the lipstick or at the mirror. See, it's always better to take a photo to see how a product really looks on you.

I'm gonna start using these pink lippies again! Going to also test out my other lipsticks using this method so that I know what's suitable for me. I do have many many lipsticks heee.
