FOTD: Maroon Smokey Eye and Nude Lips

I think I have worn a nude lip maybe twice in my life? They're not my first choice of lip colour, but I've been wanting to do a maroon coloured smokey eye for a while now, and nude lips seemed to be the best choice, hopefully I didn't look like a corpse all night!

A whopping 22 products! I never realised how many I used until I wrote all the products out like that. It's also strange for me not having my lip ring in, I decided it was time to part ways after a good 2 and a half years, I feel a little naked at the moment. Anyway thanks so much for reading, and let me know how you feel about nude lipstick!

  5. Oh darling, what a fabulous look for you - I swear you look just like a porcelain doll, flawless and ever so pretty! Love the nude lips - all the attention is on your eyes, which is where it should be because they're so gorgeous. You should wear maroon more often hon, it's such a great colour on you ♥

  6. You look great lovely, i love this FOTD! I absolutely love nudes but I agree, I feel washed out and corpse-y with a few cooler, lighter shades.

  7. I love this FOTD, but I love all of the ones that you do! I especially appreciate your precision with liquid eyeliner, something that I am yet to achieve. I understand your concerns about the nude lip thing. I also love bright and bold lipsticks.
