Combinations: 80's Pink Lips



I adore blue-based pinks...especially in a lipstick. This is probably because I was born in the 80's, and got to see lots of blue-based makeup (hello matte sky blue, purple and dark blue eyeshadow!) growing up. Something akin to the Kathy Beth Terry makeover look from Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night' music video. I know people who use to wear their eye makeup like that all the time!

One of my latest ways of wearing this shade of pink has been a combination of two products:

- GOSH Lip Gloss in # 0058

- GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick in Shade # 66 Bourgogne

Here is a swatch of what they look like:

This is an even layer of lipstick and gloss. Of course, depending on the look I want, I either layer more lipstick or gloss on. More lipstick makes the color deeper, more gloss gives more shine and sparkle.

And, because I love me some Uncle Kenny, Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson, here you go:
