My 90s lipstick - and I wasn't goth - was definitely brown, definitely a good bit cheaper than this Nars stuff. I think my impression was that brown hair and brown eyes meant brown lipstick, but in retrospect, I was very 1990s in the 1990s after all.<br /><br />With this particular one, I did see that ITG photo, but the color seemed a bit more purple than <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/beauty/makeup-articles/best-dark-red-lipstick#slide-1" rel="nofollow">what I was looking for</a>, which is apparently the "vamp" look. But my guess is, that's how it looks kind of lightly applied.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-71471281569525305952013-07-26T16:02:03.395-04:002013-07-26T16:02:03.395-04:00PS, This is the link that got me on the Terre de F...PS, <a href="http://intothegloss.com/2011/10/siddhartha-bekers-makeup-artist/" rel="nofollow">This</a> is the link that got me on the Terre de Feu train.fourtineforknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-14771582533553048582013-07-26T11:36:14.157-04:002013-07-26T11:36:14.157-04:00Phoebe,
That is awesome! I hope you like it. What ...Phoebe,<br />That is awesome! I hope you like it. What I really like about Terre de Feu is that it is surprisingly versatile. If you just dab it on, it gives a nice berry stain (richer than Clinique Black Honey, which I never really liked all that much). If you go full force, with a brush or even out of the tube, it is fantastically glamorous. I feel grown up when I wear it, like-- get ready to groan-- some elegant French woman who does not have crumbs all over her unironed dress. <br /><br />It is also the only lipstick that I've purchased a second time. I thought I lost the first tube, waited for a while to buy it again-- because I have lots of other lipsticks, and did I really need to spend that much money, etc etc-- and decided that yes, I did need it, because it's the best color I've ever owned. Of course, one week after buying the second tube, I found the first tube in a suitcase from a previous trip. Oops. <br /><br />I was goth in the 90s. Most of my lipsticks back then were, of course, of that muddy brown-red so beloved in that decade. fourtineforknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-28376844875674980472013-07-25T11:26:25.209-04:002013-07-25T11:26:25.209-04:00This is an incredibly helpful comment, because bel...This is an incredibly helpful comment, because believe it or not, that was the very lipstick I had in mind! You were right about which concealer to get, whenever that was, so your word plus <a href="http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/five-days-five-looks-one-girl-emily-weiss/#/gallery/five-days-five-looks-one-girl-emily-weiss/5" rel="nofollow">Emily Weiss's</a> and I'm convinced. I've ordered it and everything. I'd realized I didn't own a single red lipstick, and sometimes it's just a red-lipstick kind of day/evening.<br /><br />I also like the bright-lip look, and got Mac Candy Yum Yum a while back for that purpose. Mostly, though, I focus on the eyeliner, which means nothing too interesting can happen on the lipstick front. But my vision for the dark red in summer is maybe a kind of all-black outfit, with the lipstick making the look more 1990s than goth, not that the two are mutually exclusive.

Nars Terre de Feu. Buy it. It looks dull and muddy in tube. It is freaking gorgeous. I think we have somewhat similar coloring, and I first tried it because of some dark-haired, pale-skinned woman on Into the Gloss. Best color ever.*<br /><br /><br />* OK, fine, I wear it more in fall & winter. Red Square is more my thing right now, but I'm predictable with the bright lip in the summertime.fourtineforknoreply@blogger.com
