MAC Saint Germain lipstick |

What are some good pale pink lipsticks?
More people love pale-pink than dare to wear it as a full-on lipstick. Sure it's a bit of a Snooki-esque disaster if you wear it wrong but the right shade can be sweet on the pale, oh-so-cute on the medium-toned, super-sexy on the tanned, and edgy on the darker-skinned.
I didn't get into pale/pastel pink lipsticks until quite recently (2010 to be exact). I never thought I'd ever pull off a pale pink without looking ridiculous, and I'm sure many of you feel that way too.
Well, arm yourself with a good lip primer or concealer, and give it a shot.
L-to-R: Lime Crime Great Pink Planet, MAC Saint Germain, NYX Jupiter, NYX Strawberry Milk, Barry M 100 Baby Pink |
Shades I own:
Lime Crime Great Pink Planet: The lipstick that converted me to the world of opaque pastel pinks, and arguably my favorite of the lot. This is one of those lipsticks that is opaque enough to give you that "stick-on" lips effect when you really layer it on. If worn sheer, it will look deeper as it stains your lips pink.
Finish: Opaque Satin
Opacity: High
Price: mid-range
Shade: Bright pastel true-pink
Note: Often listed as a dupe of Saint Germain but it's actually not as blue-based.
MAC Saint Germain: This legendary Amplified pale-pink creme has driven many makeup collectors crazy as it was previously only available in Europe and via limited edition collections. It's STILL not available outside of the US/EU at the moment. (I got mine shipped to a friend's hotel on her recent trip to the States.)
Finish: Opaque creme
Opacity: High
Price: mid-range
Shade: Bright pastel blue-pink
Note: This can look quite shocking on deeper or yellower complexions because it is VERY blue-based. Not for the faint of heart. If you're not sure, Great Pink Planet is a better one to start off with as it's plenty-bright, but warmer and not so stark against the skin. If you want a really eye-catching pale pink though, this is it.
NYX Jupiter: This is what I call the "Beginner's Pale Pink", because you get a pale, pastel-pink frost rather than an opaque layer of pastel-pink. I don't like frost lipsticks but this actually looks nice, wears evenly, and will work with many skin tones.
Finish: Sheer frost
Opacity: Medium-low, buildable
Price: Low
Shade: Warm shell-pink with strong pale-pink frost
Note: Avoid pairing with frosted cheeks AND frosted lids if you don't want to look like an 80's throwback. Looks FANTASTIC on those with a tan.
NYX Strawberry Milk: Least-favored of the bunch. Seems everyone who owns it either loves it or hates it. I'm actually probably going to throw it out some day soon. It's a pale nude almost-pink that looks like it would look so fabulous, but the slippery texture killed it for me. I have a hard time applying it evenly, which drives me nuts because I'm so a**l about getting lip color even.
Finish: Almost-opaque creme
Opacity: Medium
Price: Low
Shade: Pale, pale pink with beige tones
Note: I actually have an extra NEW tube sitting in storage if anyone wants to give it a go. I'll send it to you free if you'll pay for the shipping. Just message me if you're interested and let me know your country. I'll check on the shipping rate and you can decide if it's worth it first!
[Update] You guys are fast! I've got a few queries already and am taking this "off the market" before I disappoint too many people. I'll update again if the deal falls through and the lipstick is available again!]

Barry M 100 Baby Pink Lip Paint: UBER-pale pink that is almost white against the skin. I'm NC25 and even on my medium-light skin, it looks very dramatic. Not the easiest shade to wear, but works with the right makeup.
Finish: Satin-pearl (the pearl is almost invisible on the lips)
Opacity: Medium-high, buildable
Price: Low
Shade: Pale white-pink
Note: If nothing but the most deliciously-shocking pale pink will do, THIS is the lipstick for you. Just note that you will need to mute out your lips with a little concealer, especially around the edges, as the lipstick is paler than your skin and will bring out any ruddy tones around the mouth
Does BarryM ship to the U.S? Your swatches of Barry M have me wanting almost every shade. That pink looks amazing! Verryy extreme but I bet it looks great with some glosses to mute it down.
ReplyDeleteYes they do! The rates aren't fantastic, so I always get a whole bunch of items to make it worth it LOL.
DeleteBaby Pink is really extreme, and you're right - I recommend a gloss to mute it a bit. Not recommended if your lips are very pigmented though, it might show up slightly streaky because it's so light that any imperfection and unevenness shows. This is handy for lightening any other pink lipstick and making it pastel though!
I think the other Barry Ms (Dolly Pink, Vibrant Pink, Pink Ribbon) are a safer bet.

ReplyDeletecohabitation agreement virginia A cohabitation agreement is often used when two parties are in a romantic relationship and living together, but do not have any intention in the foreseeable future of getting married. The reason it is used in Virginia is because Virginia does not recognize common law marriages. As discussed earlier, under Article 34 of the Family Code, an affidavit of cohabitation can be used to bypass the requirement of a marriage license if the couple has lived together for at least five years and there is no legal impediment to their marriage.While a Virginia couple cannot obtain legal separation, they can be separated but still live in the same home prior to finalizing a divorce.A proof of cohabitation is any document that proves that the primary place of residence is the same for all of the individuals included in your claim.
ReplyDeleteVA Spousal Support Calculator For couples without children, the formula involves subtracting 50% of the gross income of the receiving spouse from 27% of the gross income of the paying spouse. If there are children involved, the courts consider 58% of the receiving spouse's income and 26% of the paying spouse's income.Eligibility Requirements. Typically, to be eligible for spousal support payments in Virginia, the individual must earn a lot less money than their spouse, not have a job at all, or be employed but still require spousal support to meet living expenses.Because of this legislation, spousal support can be granted permanently (until death or remarriage), or until the dependent spouse is able to improve their income and support the same lifestyle they had during the marriage.The formula stated in § 16.1-278.17:1 is: (a) 30% of the gross income of the payor less 50% of the gross income of the payee in cases with no minor children and (b) 28% of the gross income of the payor less 58% of the gross income of the payee in cases where the parties have minor children in common.

The court will treat a grandparent asking for custody or visitation as a third party. The exception to this rule is if the grandparent can prove to the court that they are a de facto parent.Maryland recognized the importance of grandparent relationships and now allows grandparents to petition for visitation rights in certain circumstances: When the child's parents are divorced. The parents have annulled their marriage. If one or both of the child's parents are deceased.Yes, grandparents or other relatives can be awarded child custody in India.
