When a piece from my cosmetic collection jumps out at me, I tend to base my whole look around it. While getting ready for work I came across my stunning Face of Australia Malibu Barbie lipstick, and I decided to choose products to compliment it.
Bourjois Healthymix Serum is a foundation I use quite regularly, it gives a luminous finish and is easy to apply with my fingers, which is how I applied it for this look. I find that I need to scrub my lips a few times a week to keep them in good condition, and I scrubbed them with Lush's Mint Julips before applying Malibu Barbie to make the most of the gorgeous shade.
The Urban Decay Naked palettes have been out in full force lately, and I used a mixture of shades from each to create a subtle eye look that wouldn't compete with the bright lip. Benefit Hervana was a perfect blush choice to pair with this look, the pale pink shade is very wearable and went well with the essence highlighter in Flamingo Pink, which is a very subtle shimmer powder.
How often do you wear bright pink lip shades?
Have you tried the Face of Australia lipsticks yet?
Malibu Barbie is available at Kmart,Priceline and Big W, and on Fashion Addict here (they ship internationally!)
What an absolutely gorgeous shade! You have complimented the lipstick so well with the rest of your choices. Benefit's Hervana blush is at the top of my wishlist of late! Perfect flush for pink lips.

@List isn't is the prettiest!? I think I chose well to compliment it as well, I am so glad you think so, too! Hervana is really pretty, and smells great as well!
DeleteAww you look very pretty in the first picture Emma :)
ReplyDelete@Tine thank you so much! *blushes*
DeleteI love pink but don't wear bubblegum pinks very often. I did see a new Rimmel Kate Moss pink the other day which nearly tempted me off my ban - you should check out the new colours, they're gorg!
ReplyDelete@Vita I really like the formula of the Kate Moss lippies,I'll have to have a look next time. Malibu Barbie is a nice bright bubblegum, I love it:)
DeleteThis lipstick looks so good on you and your eyelashes look AMAZING!
ReplyDelete@Kimberley thank you, I love it on as well! I love the way my lashes look with Lancome Doll Eyes, it's my favourite :)
DeleteYou look like a doll :)
ReplyDeleteI love that shade :) I do not wear bright pink lipsticks that often to be honest.. I usually gravitate more towards reds, mauves and berry shades :)
hugs
@shortylegsbeauty Haha aw thank you! I wear bright lips quite a bit, but I do love berry shades as well :) You should branch out with some brights!
DeleteLoooveee this look. Your lashes look amazing. And Malibu Barbie is such a pretty bright pink, you wear it brilliantly :) I so want to get my hands on Hervana, but the prohibitive price of it in Australia isn't helping :p
ReplyDelete@sleepandwater thank you so much, yeah I miss my Lancome mascara and they way it looked on! The face of australia colours are so lovely, and much better than the Aussie prices of Hervana ;P
DeleteSo gorgeous! Check out that amazing lip colour.
ReplyDelete@olgiepolgie thank you!it is one of my favourites
DeleteThis lip colour is so cute on you! You look very fresh faced :)
