Smokey Rose

I cannot walk into the drugstore without coming out with a new lipstick shade to try out and this past week I found a beautiful neutral shade by Revlon called Smokey Rose.  It's a matte pearl shade that works perfectly for a pared down look when you create more of a intense, darker palette with your eyes.  I know you've heard this before - the more you "do up" the eyes, the more subtle your lips should be, and this combo below helps you do just that.  It's just plain pretty!

After a nice application with Revlon's Smokey Rose I applied a soft swipe of a gloss I received in my October Birchbox samples, Chantecaille's Charm.

What you get is a soft color that is a perfect neutral for any skin type... And a rule I learned from a Smashbox Makeup Artist is that you should always try to match your lips to your cheeks... It's a snap to do that with this shade... Just add a bit of the lipstick to the apples of your cheeks with a little bronzer - perfect match!
