Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall... Who's The Fairest Of Them All?

I've always loved experimenting with various color cosmetics, but sometimes I find shades that are just completely unwearable for me. Bright pink, for example, is a lipstick color I handle with extreme caution, and sky blue eyeshadow was something I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. When you're born with a morena skintone like me, the best shades to work with are dark reds and browns... colors that I find, to put it bluntly, quite boring!

Before I got my beach tan, I was actually getting fairer skin due to being chained to my computer during the majority of each day, and the tiny amount of whitening agents that would be in my frequently used BB Creams. When matched with my blond hair, I could actually wear all the colors that I previously couldn't-- bright pink lips, sky blue eyes, and other crazy combinations!

 Without a doubt, with fairer skin, I'd be able to pull off 
wearing 50x more cosmetic colors!

How about you? What do you want 50X MORE with fairer skin?

Pink lipstick looks very weird on me, but it works as eye shadow. Weird, eh?

@shopcoholic and @Yen I'm using Etude House's Dear Darling Lips in bright pink; can't remember the exact shade...

I love the red lipstick! I am in search for fiery red but swatches upon swatches of red color made me dizzy and most ended up pinkish or orange on my skin lol

Mrs M- Maybelline has some pretty good ones! You just have to use it with a lip liner. :)
