Y'ALL! If you do this and find your perfect "red" PLEASE TAG ME on IG! I would love to repost them and have a highlight of the various shades that worked for y'all. Make sure you tell everyone what shade it is! ❤❤❤

I’m not on instagram but after your first contrast video I went on the hunt at Sephora and found NARS Aragon is my red lip! They make it in a lip shine (sort of balmy but more coverage) and a lip gloss. Both look stunning on me as red but look like… rusty chestnut brown in the bullet! ❤

@annemarson4144 28 күн бұрын

Thank you for doing this! I have actually thought SO much about this over the years, because I try red lips (and bangs, unfortunately) about every five years, and I'm always disappointed. I'm not on insta (for my mentie healf), but my "red" is Charlotte Tilbury Walk of No Shame. I am a fairly light neutral olive, and I cannot wear a true red without it looking like a clown mouth that belongs to someone else. But darn it if Walk of No Shame doesn't read as red on me. I don't really like buying from CT, because she kind of annoys me, but I can't find another shade and formula that works better for me as an occasion lip. I have found other warmish roses, like Lisa Eldridge Enchantment, but too much opacity also isn't good on me. For some reason I have to have a tiny bit of my own lip coming through or, again, it looks like there are wax lips floating on my face.

Hey Kackie have you ever heard the theory that Marilyn's famous red lipstick was actually orange?!

@spontaneousun 27 күн бұрын

Also, a pretty solid way to find a lipliner shade - any nifty tricks with concealer or foundation shades you’d like to teach? I struggle so hard to find any that look natural and am perpetually bamboozling employees at Sephora or other makeup stores. Pale desaturated olive with rosacea that distracts and makes people think I’m way more pink than I actually am.

Thank you for mentioning that olive skin tones make everything weirder. Having pale olive skin changes everything, I wonder if this would actually work for me! I used to wear peach because I liked it and every time I would see myself in a mirror in public I’d be like, oh girl you’ve never looked worse. And now I know I’m cool toned bright winter it has changed everything. Shopping is easier, I cleaned out my closet, I realized why peach blush never worked for me along with all bronzers (which are warm tone by nature), and started shopping Korean makeup which is has an actual selection of pale olive makeup like contour that actually blends seamlessly with my skin. It’s incredible.

🤯 Ruby slippers moment … just went through the steps and realized that first “reads red on me” color is a very close match for the lipstick I think of as “nude plus” and carry with me always. The one I can throw on with little or no other makeup and feel put together but not clownish. In other words, Fairy Godmother Kackie just showed me I’m already a French Girl.

This has my mind completely blown. This type of content scratches an itch in my brain and answers questions that I never even knew to ask. Science and math are subjects that I always understood and truly enjoy. Art has never been my strong suit, but I enjoy being creative and makeup has always been an outlet for me to just have fun with different colors, textures, etc. Now I get to combine science, art, math and makeup and put some more thoughtfulness behind my creativity. Thank you Kackie!!!

Same here. I've been gravitating to fuchsia in lieu of red since high school, and now I know why. And I'm not surprised, because I'm very pale and have a bluish undertone. Also, I have Bite Mulberry and really need to wear that more often.

Thank you thank you!!! 😊 And, as a literal girl raised in France who has never been able to pull off the effortless French girl look, I now understand that my essence likely factors heavily into that too because I can’t pull off all of those frilly French girl clothes either!

This explains how I stumbled into my perfect red by complete accident. I ordered a ColourPop lip tint in A-Go-Go which is described (and shown) as *a sheer rosy pink*. I really wanted it for those *no makeup* makeup days so imagine my surprise when I put it on and it morphed into a saturated watermelon red color that I NEVER would have chosen to try. And it looked amazing! I wear it almost every day now. Off to try that computer trick.

@Oliveaceous 29 күн бұрын

GAME CHANGER! This made so much click for me. Between this video, the contrast, undertone, and saturation ones I'm figuring out why I tend to like certain colors on me better versus others. I think I'm a high contrast girlie on the neutral cooler side, and I tend to wear vampy lips. So, when summer rolls around, I feel lost with colors becuase they all feel too warm and usually end up going for blotted down versions of my vampy shades to lighten things up. This may also be becuase I'm olive and although I'm pale, my complexion tends to go more yellow in the summer sun. I would love if you addressed olive tones, becuase it seems like a wild card. It's so hard to find shades, especially when shopping online.
