Rouge à Lèvres #GIFed

               

               

Rouge à Lèvres. (a.k.a. lipstick) Let me tell you a little story (I promise to keep it short). I was fourteen years old (or so), the possibility of make up started to be in the picture, and my maths teacher was a former Miss Texas. 

That's right. My maths teacher was a former Miss Texas. (What are the odds right?)

So before you think I've gone completely off tangent, it was her who taught me (and a bunch of other girls in my class) the importance of knowing which colours suit you (and to never wear tight stripes if you want to look thin on camera- but that's a different story).

The lesson went something like this: colouring is divided into cool and warm. You either have blue undertones or yellow ones, and you must work with what suits you best. No matter what.*

The story for me had a momentary sad ending given my life ban on yellow (at least if worn too close to my face). But I am happy to say I have warmed up to my best suited colours since.**

The point of this little story? Many of you have asked me about which lipsticks I wear (below are my favourite), but in the end we all have to work with what suits us best.

(Oh, and I'm in a GIF craze this week with my illustrations. But you've probably noticed that already, flickering lips are hard to miss after all.) 

*Something which you all probably know by now, but as a fourteen-year-old girl was a monumental discovery
**I have a cool complexion
