Doll Up with Corals This Summer!

Summertime summertime jollybubblegummertime summertime summertime its a summertime song...
~ Nancy.

You know Nancy was a comic strip that once came in the Times Of India. 
Okay anyway the point it, I love this month.. just cause its my birthday month.. Summer in India is HOT. Like really hot. thankfully Hyderabad is not humid. But its very easy to get roasted here.

So what does one do to make the season that dominates the year more bearable? You know add colour and stuff.. to your wardrobe to your face. I am absolutely loving dressing up in neutrals like whites, off whites, beiges with a pop of colour on my mouth! :P

I think I'll do a post on my makeup routine soon. Oh so getting back to topic, Coral lips have been in since I can remember. There are loads to colours to choose from lots of looks to get.
I'm posting pictures of a few coral, orange lip colours from MAC. sometime back I decided I wanted some corals, but I dint find swatches of certain colours side y side. So hope this helps. 


Went to the natural-est lit spot in the store to click the pic

I dont know all the finishes. But few, I know- See Sheer (Lustre), Crosswires (cremesheen), Vegas Volt (Cremesheen), Neon Orange is from the Stylishly Yours Collection (I dont know the finish. :P), Morange (Amplified), Lady Red (Matte) This is definitely more red., So Chaud (Matte) Exxxhibitionist (Kissable Lipcolour).

I forgot to include the Exxxhibitionist Kissable Lip Colour from the Peacocky Collectionhave. When I finally did and 1got one hurried picture (read horrid). I think I'll include that too :P

  1. I love these corals.
    It's so bright but so sexy and subtle, does that make sense?

    Any suggestions? = D

  2. Haha yes I totally get what you are saying! I'll put up my corals soon too.. the ones I own.

    I love the muted corals for the day time and the loud in your face ones at night. Vegas Volt is as bright as I can dare to wear.

    I tried Neon orange but I i knew I couldn't wear it comfortably. Though I would love to own it! Exxxhibitionist is brilliant! :D

    But See Sheer is a universal favourite. Anybody can wear it. Also Crosswires. Bah I mentioned everything no? :P

    but I would blindly suggest See Sheer and/or crosswires. do give them a try! :)

  20. Drool worthy collection! They're all gorgeous, but I like Neon Orange the most.

    And at the risk of sounding stupid, what is the difference between coral & peach?

  21. Also, try Shoppers Stop for Maybelline Verde Palmeira. I've found them to be the best stocked shop for maybelline nail colours.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks Poohkie! These are not mine. I have some of these.. :P I got this from the MAC store cause when I was looking for these swatches online, I didn't fine them side by side. So I decided to do this!:D
    and thanks for the Maybelline tip. I love Shoppers but never get makeup from there. God knows why. will definitely check it out now!:)

    About Peach vs Coral... I hope you'll understand my description of what I think is what:P
    Peach is subtle.. ( the colour of the fruit..a very mild washed out orange+beige.

    Coral on the other hand is more pink+ orange. this can be in different hues and shades. Like the colour of the sky sometimes?

  24. OH! I used to think that peach was more pinky & coral was more orangy! I was totally wrong:P
