It was the first thing I tried from the goodies but it took me some time to get around to swatching since it was kinda difficult to capture this rather chameleon-like color. It sure looks different under different lighting!
Barry M Lip Paint 146 Dolly Pink
Dolly Pink is a (very) blue-based medium barbie pink color.
It is one of those perfect colors that requires a right complexion paired with other suitable makeup colors.
I am not sure this color is the best choice for me although I am pretty light with neutral colorings.
Nonetheless, Dolly Pink is a shockingly beautiful color that sure grabs some attention. ;)
The lipstick itself is a full-coverage one with traditional feel, smell, and taste, so you need to prep your lips carefully with some exfoliation and moisturizing with non-greasy lip balm since it could accentuate lines and dryness of your lips.

To me, this would work best as a "statement" lipstick color.
I'd like to try this with falsies and base makeup with more coverage.
I guess "Dolly Pink" deserves that. ;p
What is your best way to wear blue-based pink color like this?
Have you tried Barry M Lip Paints? :)

I wish I could pull off this shade of pink! It's too cool for me ._. You look smashing, though!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, so pretty on you! It is quite a bit of a statement lip but I think it's quite wearable as well. I only have 1 Barry M lipstick in Peachy Pink, but I really like it :)
ReplyDeletereally gorgeous! the entire makeup is really pretty,soft on the eyes and bold on the lips! I like it ^_^~

Looove this colour, it's similar one that I wear often, usually just with a cat wing on the top lid and that's it.
ReplyDeleteI love this pink against your skin color! Very on trend and while many women wear it I think it sometimes gets a little too Jersey Shore with extreme tans. :)

ReplyDeletethis is not an easy one even for a person like me who almost always goes for blue-based colors.
i am experimenting with corals lately. let us be more adventurous. cheers! :)
lolz. don't cry, Pam.
ReplyDeletefull blown orange colors ask for same courage in my point of view! :p

ReplyDeletefollowing you as well. ;)

ReplyDeletei am like you. usually i just wear light colored gloss or sheer glossy lipstick. this color is definitely reserved for special occasions. ;p
thanks, Debi!
ReplyDeletei don't know if is is a really delicate color. for a pink, it sure does have some bite. lolz
i tend to like something that changes its color depends on lighting. makes it more interesting. right? :)
thank you, Lyosha! :)
ReplyDeletethank you, Kim! ^-^
ReplyDeleteawww thank you, Sarah! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't laugh but I have never tried a color like that.. I can barely wear bright red lol. But it looks great though :D
ReplyDeletethanks, Eugenia! :)
ReplyDeletethank you, Janet!
ReplyDeletei wanna play with with color a little more. i think this is a versatile vixen kind of color. lolz
thank you! :)
ReplyDeletei wasn't so comfortable wearing a full color lipstick like this, but i rarely do..better get used to it, i think? ;p
i think this color photographs rather well. :)
ah i think i said the exact same thing about your beautiful orange lip color, Larie. ;D
ReplyDeletei am not complaning, but it would be super cool for us to be wear the colors we normally fear sometimes. ;)
thank you, Marla! :)
ReplyDeletethanks, Rebecca! :)
ReplyDeletethanks, Mie! :)
ReplyDeletei still feel timid to wear a full coverage lipstick in any color, actually.
it is fun trying something dramatic, though!
Jersery Shore and that other NJ based hairstyling show-lol. I forget the name of it. <3
ReplyDeleteI love this lipstick with gyaru look. I think it goes well with that look :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the tip, Elrica!
ReplyDeletei am not sure i could pull a full gyaru look, but i definitely want to pair this with more dolly way using falsies and stuff. ;)
I love this colour! ^^
ReplyDeleteWhats the 'staying power' like?
