Twilight highlights

Not I am not a fan of these films, despite having Gothic tendencies these books and films left me stone cold. No what I like is the style or in particular the make up theme it encourages.

Call me over dramatic but I love the smokey eyes, strong lips and blacken nails effects. I always have done. I have never been brave enough to find a red lipstick I have the courage to wear, but the lightened face and strong eye effects have been used. Most of all I really dig dark nails. Against my better judgement and due to the lack of normal TV I have forcibly been made to sit through the Twilight film. and saw my ideal makeup on the Rosalie character.

So for the last hour rather than reduce what is left of my brain to mush, I have been trawling the sales for the perfect red lipstick.But can I find one? Hell no I can't, I can see this turning into a shopping mission and ending up being very expensive. At the moment my options vary from either Barry M lip paint 121 at £4.49 or lip lacquer crayon in cherry red at £4.99, then there is MUA lipstick shade 12 at £1. Those are at the lower end of the market but from there on the only way is up. Oh how I wish the more expensive brands did little samples like Avon do so I don't end up wasting my money on a product that won't suite me. Personally after much research I am likely to opt for the MUA and the Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon, partly to do with cost, but mainly because I have had success with those products before in different shades But especially with the MUA what else can you get at £1 anyway so I may as well try it out.

If all goes well I master my Rosalie look, and if it goes wrong well it can be saved for Halloween and I can use it for a bride of Dracula after feeding look.
