I love that you showed all of us how it can be executed. I've been pondering the YSL quint-can't remember it's name- but it's new and has red in it. I might have issues with red dye too. Certain purples make my lids itch.Grlnxdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029773465673001718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-61446507053118464402016-07-11T17:11:12.856-04:002016-07-11T17:11:12.856-04:00Thank you all!

I know you will probably not be showcasing the red lippies from the collection but I have become obsessed with them. The problem for me will be just picking one.<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-72345579058724762802016-07-10T20:44:26.606-04:002016-07-10T20:44:26.606-04:00Hi Radhika, they are matte.
