Chanel Incognito Lipstick

Incognito is such a unique lipstick shade - its a mix of dusty rose with a hint of mauve and gold.  Actually, come to think of it, all Chanel lipsticks seem to be unique shades.  Incognito is also one of those shades that I keep coming back to, which really means that its a shade I should always have handy in my makeup case.  Incognito is a neutral warm shade and looks amazing with Melba and Blushbaby blushes from MAC!  Here is a look I created using Incognito.  I took some pics today in my car and at home:





I started this look with my favourite St. Moritz tinted moisturizer by NARS, NC 30 concealer by MAC and translucent power.  I then used Bobbi Brown Tawny blush as a contour, MAC Arena shadow as a highlight and Melba blush by MAC.  For the eyes, I used Arena as a base, Coquette from lid to crease and Sable in the crease and outter corners (all MAC).  I applied Cliniques brown-black liner on the top and smduged it with NARS Bengali.  Then added MAC Phone number liner on the bottom before applying mascara.  I used MAC's Boldly bare liner (my absolute favourite lipliner these days) and then applied Chanel's Incognito Lipstick!!!

Renata, you look stunning in these blue and pink colours! Wow. I know there's only so much you can tell from photos, but from looking at all your various pictures of you in different looks, I actually think you could be a True Summer... Have you ever considered that season before? I know you are set on SA and would hate to throw another confusing spanner in the works for you, but just wanted to suggest in case you had never thought of it! I think those cool blues and pinks look amazing on you (and would even go so far to say that they make you look younger). As I said though, I can only see so much from photos! In my PCA, Nikki thought I could be a TSu at one point, but we decided the colours were too muted for me. You have proven though that you look beautiful and elegant in soft/muted colours, so you never know :-)

P.S. I forgot to say you look beautiful in all your photos - just these colours on you really stuck out to me! I hope my previous post hasn't caused you any headache, because I know you have wrestled with accepting your season and sticking with it already :-)

THanks Emily - I have tried true summer in the past and found that I need 'some' warmth - the blue-grey shades of the summer palette were not great for me and the orchid pinks made me look ashy - what I like about SA is that its soft/muted and flows into summer, so I get the best of both words, but the next time I go shopping, I will try on TSum shades just for fun and for comparison!!! I'll keep you posted! THanks again for the feedback!

No problem! LSp and LSu are also summer blends with more warmth in them - maybe you could also try out those colours? It's interesting - my colouring is quite similar to yours and was convinced I was an autumn of some kind as well, and yet I turned out to be a spring-winter blend!
You do look stunning as a SA though so keep rocking those colours ;-)

Thanks EMily - I think that having an official sci/art drapping is the way to go and I hope to do that this year at some point. THanks for the compliments - The last time I gave SA a chance, my haircolour was very dark and looking back, I think this threw me off course, I'm finding much more harmony now with a medium golden brown haircolour and the SA palette - the journey continues!!!
