Today was the unofficial first day of spring in New York; the weather was simply gorgeous! It was a perfect day to dress up and create a fresh spring face. I decided to play around with Bobbi Brown's Lip Crayon in Wild Rasberry (from an upcoming collection later in the year--I got my hands on a sample). It's different from the Quick-Time Lip Crayons out now and I simply adore the pinkish-coral (at least on me) color! It's a little different for me since I usually go with shiny lips.
Lip Pencils used to scream 'middle-aged wrinkled lips' to me, until I tried this. I absolutely love the texture--it's smooth and creamy! It didn't take me much time at all to apply it, either. I simply outlined my lips and then filled it in with the same crayon. My lips were a little flaky so I dabbed a clear lip gloss in the middle, to deter the attention away from the ugly state of my lips.
I was attending tabletop trade shows all day, so I needed a professional look with a little kick to it. I tried to go for a more natural look today with just a tad of pencil eyeliner instead of my usual thick, line of black liquid liner. I think my eyes look brighter and wider, which I like :)
