Which Lip?

I am going to a Masquerade Ball in about a fortnight but cannot decide upon what lips to do.

The dress is purple and accessories are red, the mask is red and gold.

Eyes

Bold in Gold?: Goldilux and lipgloss

Red and Gold?

Nude?

Classic Red?

LOTD: Gradient Experiment

After a fairly substantial hiatus, I am trying to get back into blogging, however, as I am in my final year at Uni and on a fairly demanding course as well as dealing with some sad family circumstances, posting may not be as regular as I would like.

I got Photoshop Elements 9 for my Christmas and have been having some fun with that. PSE9 is helpful for isolating elements of my look and concealing other part such as here, where I have covered the skin but left the lips unchanged (aside from trying to lessen the impact of the gloss which made it look patchy- the colour and application were done using makeup)

Anyway, here is my attempt at a Gradient/rainbow look.

Base : Lip balm

Purple: MAC Violet pigment

Pink: Barry M dazzledust- 64

Orange: Barry M dazzledust- 77

Red: Barry M dazzledust- 84

Gold: MAC pigment- Golden Lemon

Blue: Urban Decay pigment- Shattered

Green: Barry M dazzledust- 95

Lipgloss: MAC lipgloss-clear
