FOTD: How Lipstick Shade Can Change The Whole Look

Hi! This time I would like to talk about lipstick shades. Actually, I am a lipstick person, yeah most of my makeups are lip products. From lipbalm, lip stain, lipgloss, lipstick, and so on. And don't forget that I have different shades for one kind of product.

So, one day when I was preparing for my look for Kérastase Fusio-Dose Infusion Night , I was stuck on which lipstick shade should I pick for it. Here are the pictures.

LOOK 1

So, for your information, I was wearing the same whole make up for both look. The only difference is the lipstick shade. For look 1, I use Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick Shade 117 Almost Nude (this is by far my favorite shade, especially for nude look). I love this shade because it has a very nice nude shade that is slightly peach and brightens up my whole look. I guess this look would be suitable for afternoon, for daily wear when you're working or having a class at your college. 

LOOK 2

The second look; look 2 is more dramatic, right? Here I used Viva Lipstick No. 49. It's a warm red-to-orange shade. I love how pigmented and moisturizing this lipstick actually. Despite of its cheap price and the too much fragrance (reminds me of that fragranced-pen when I was a child), the quality is decent. I don't know the price since I got it for free from Viva Cosmetics. Oh I almost forget to mention that this lipstick has some kind of soft glitters on your lips, too. So, I can conclude that this lipstick will be most suitable for night occasion where you want to look more glamorous and dramatic.

Anyway, I have warm undertones, I think that's why most of my lip color comes in warm shades and maybe this is why I look pale when I wear soft pinkish color... Hmm..

For better observation of the products, you can take a look at below:

Swatches on hand

In the end, I chose look 1 because I will attract too many attention when I walk along my neighborhood to the bus shelter. There were a lot of times when I have to hear noises from old men and mothers when I passed them by. -_- Well, that's the price for living in a very conservative country, where we can't truly express ourself (whining).

Anyway, here are the rest of the look:
