One is a good number. Two is even better.
That' is why I like to wear lipstick with gloss -- one (lipstick) sets a base. The other (gloss) adds shine.
Combining products, however, can be tricky. Sticking with the same color spectrum is a safe idea.
Pink tones, for example, have always worked well together, and the ones I used below produced a nice, subtle lip color.

Estee Lauder in "Pink Diamond" and M.A.C Lip Glass in "Florabundance"
Two of my favorite lippie pinks |
Estee Lauder Pink Diamond by itself gave lips a smooth finish.
The color is faint but noticeable.

M.A.C Florabundance added a creamy touch and a glossy shine.

Here is a face shot with the lip colors.
In my opinion, the pink combo worked well with Asian skin.

OMGOSH that color combo is SO pretty on you!!
ReplyDeleteIf u don't like a lipstick it's a cool idea to use a lipgloss over it to make it prettier ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I love those colors, I want them! :)
ReplyDeletewww.glamorsham.blogspot.com
Gorgeous lipstick and lipgloss. Really love the colour of that gloss. :)SArahD
ReplyDeleteI have lots! But I wear lipgloss not just to add color and shine, but mostly to combat dryness because of the AC! I like putting on two shades of lipstick though.
ReplyDeleteYep, I went to school at College Station, I can imagine you cousin loving it there. It's a very small tiny quiet college town with not much distraction. Perfect for studying and you get much closer with your friends since there's nothing to do on the weekends but visiting to friends' apartments and play cards, haha!

Wow this is beautiful! I don't have any lip and gloss combos, but I love how it looks!

I like gloss, and I usually just use it on it's own. I find that lipstick bleaches my lips and make them look very pale. I know this sounds really weird. Haha...But I like your lip color with the glosss, makes your lips look full and lustrous.

ReplyDeletelove this combo!
ReplyDeletenice combination! i just bought myself a new pink lipstick yesterday and i'm going to find a gloss that will look good with it when combined..
ReplyDeleteThat color combo is so pretty! You have such nice full lips, jealous :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the mixing of lipstick and gloss - such a great look.
ReplyDeleteOh - Fancy That.
Hi girlie! :D I love that combination. I really REALLY love Estee Lauder lipsticks... they're so nice. I love using Revlon Baby Pink and glossing it over with the MAC gaga gloss.
ReplyDeletetotally jealous of your lips! Nice shades though, very natural but pretty too ^__^
ReplyDeleteI love MAC lipglosses !!

You have such nice, full lips! I was trying to think how to write that w/out sounding weird hahah. I rarely do the lipstick/gloss combo thing. But if I do, I love pinks too. Like MAC's Lickable and MAC Lipglass in Flashmode or Pinkarat.

Lovely color!! I don't usually wear lip gloss now but when I do wear both, I just use the Shiseido Maquillage Rouge Enamel Glamour which comes with both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!!!

Thanks for your comment :)
ReplyDeleteI'd rather appreciate that we had snow on Christmas instead of sunshine, but you're right, better than rain!
No, this is not my home in the pictures. I don't even really know what it is used for exactely, but it's near a park where we often go for shooting photos and we loved the location. I think it's a not too often used community house for events or so. :)
Your blog is amazing!
ReplyDeleteplease check out mine! i could use some help as a begginer. :)!

Ooo, you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am a firm believer in the lip combo method. I apply chapstick first, then MAC Viva Gaga lipstick (kinda a neutral) and then top it off with MAC Lipglass in Underage. Perfect for my skin tone!

i love combining lip products myself.What i love more about it is the excitement you get when you discovered a stunning shade. It's also a great way to use your lip products more.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you that pink combos looks great with Asian skin.I'm asian myself and I think pink lipsticks/lipgloss looks nice on me or maybe i'm just being biased? anyway i have my own beauty blog over at http://slavetovanity.blogspot.com I would really appreciate it if you can pay a visit and follow it if you like what you see. I would gladly return the favor asap.Hope to see you soon. ;) Thanks in advance.
