  1. Lucky! You can pull of those coral lips without looking like a bimbo (which is what happens when I do it).

    How is it when you buy a product that you know what the undertones are? It's so difficult to figure out when the goodies are all wrapped up (especially with pencils). Even in some place like MAC, the lighting is so-so and its hard to tell.

  3. Adriana,
    A trick that I use is to only look for a product after I've done research on it. If you are looking at colors online, you can often find somewhat accurate shade descriptions which will tell you what the undertone is.

    If I haven't done research, I can also tell because of my painting. I learned about undertones when painting long before I was interested in makeup. There are many paint colors that come with only a slight shade difference. I can post my color wheel.

    So now I have 2 projects for next week: the eyelash tutorial and the color wheel/ undertone thing.

  6. If your hair gets stuck to your gloss I'm not really sure there's much that can be done other than pulling back your hair :( Or waiting until you get inside to put the gloss on? No se. Sigo buscando a alguien quien quiere ser un modelo para el look que hice.
