Look Feature: Anna Sui Spring 2012 Cheek & Lip

By icyabstract · February 25, 2012 · 14 Comments ·

The night before, I had a mind to search around my wardrobe for something feminine and floral to wear to the church wedding today. I have no particular idea why floral but I just wanted to wear something I rarely do. Though come morning, it was a whole different story...

Getting ready at 8am (proceedings start at 10am) with 3 hours of sleep left me thinking, okay whatever, I'm just going to slap something on.

Amidst all that, I did manage to reach for the Anna Sui Anna Rose Cheek Color and Double Lipgloss in Sensual Rose. Aside from the swatches I had done, and featured here, I haven't played around with these or wore them out until now.

The blush seems to sway a little pink-toned on me as opposed to the flushed-red I presumed it would be. I had spammed on a little more blush than I normally wear but this blush picks up well and one dusting is really all you need. I went for 1 1/2 because... I needed to look alive at 10 in the morning and the pictures tend to moderate the blush effect a little. The photos reflect what 1 dusting looks in person, hope that makes sense.

Here's the swatch I did in the previous post, just for a recap.

It is still a lovely rosey shade on, which I love but I think it all boils down to how and where you run your brush over and which colors you pick up on.

On my eyes I had on plain ole neutrals, nothing to it and I didn't want to fuss with colors because wearing contacts was quite a challenge in itself already. If only someone could invent tired-eye-friendly contacts!

Though if you are interested,

On My Eyes:
- Stila Kitten
- L'oreal Made For Me Naturals In Medium Fair
- CLIO Professional Pen Liner
- MAC Powerpoint Liner in Engraved
- Dollywink Mascara in Volume

I used both ends of the Double Lipgloss in Sensual Rose, leaving me with a pink-red lip which I think ended up complimenting the blush very well. While I love the rouge portion on it's own, it's a pretty combination and that shine/sheen the glossy end lends is lovely.

As far as outfit goes, I think it's been established that I never did end up dressing in florals. Though I did put some effort into it and dug up this dress I have had for almost a year now but haven't worn out at all.

Ignore the mildly candid hand on the right shot.

This is a cream colored dress with an interesting lapel design along the front. This was one of the first few pieces I had received from Loef (before I did fashion features) and I think they no longer have this up on their site - I think.

Do you have any guilty pieces stashed away in your wardrobe that you haven't worn?

 

Hope everyone's weekend is going along good and thanks for reading!

thislovegame: Thank you Smiling I use this Kent Makeup Blush Brush which you can check out here Smiling It's a little on the pricey side and the only way I know of purchasing it is getting it online but I've used it for almost a year now and with my slightly... not so ideal maintenance (I don't wash them as often as I should!), it's still going on strong and super soft.

popsurgarGirl: Brown dark hair goes with almost everything really! I kinda miss that color for that purpose, it makes red lips look that much more impact-ful! This hair color makes me think twice about wearing certain shades.

x3ASweetAffair: Thank you! Laughing out loud

miwitch: Thank you so much! Smiling

I think the hair color and makeup goes well together. I guess with a loud hair color, you'll have to consider the makeup and outfits as well when putting something together.

Guilty pieces??? Of coz... I have many stashed away! Lately, when I shop, I make sure to think, think and rethink before I hand my card over to the cashier.

hazelnutt: Thank you! Yeap, with the hair I do have to consider certain items I put on, especially blush but I think it's not too bad. If I had a bold red color then perhaps it would be more of a task to decide on what to use/wear. And I'm currently in that phase! I'll consider something before trying it at the fitting room because it would be horrible to try and love how it looks on yet don't think I need to spend on it.
