What It's Like to Create Your Own Custom Lipstick ShadeWe visit the Lip Lab by BITE |
Customizing my lipsticks I tend to favor mauvey-nude shades of lipstick because I find it so hard to pick more vibrant shades that actually flatter my skin tone. So today, I decided to go outside my comfort zone and create custom red and berry shades. My lip lab artist had me select from the following finishes: sheer, glossy, matte and the brand's signature, Amuse Bouche. I selected the matte finish because Bite's formula is incredibly creamy and comfortable on the lips. Next, I described my ideal shades to my artist and she went to work mixing up a variety of pigments.
