It kind of makes me look like a hooker used as eyeshadow (once again, only for that kind of night out). The way it makes my blue eyes pop is worth it. ;)

Hickchick: Garish is in the eyes of the beholder. I’m a ringer for Snow White (… OK, I actually look more like her stepmother – Disney version), and Cherries in the Snow looks FABULOUS on me. Not garish.

I’d suggest that only the olive-skinned try it as eyeshadow (rather than blush, for which it is admirably suited for me and my PPP sisters); otherwise, red eyeshadow is one of the signifiers for “age” – applying red eyeshadow is a long-standing theatrical technique for making a character look older and/or ill.

Cherries in the snow was my grandmother’s lipstick of choice for years. Now it’s mine. It looks great on my olive complexion year round but it looks a teensy bit garish on my very pale sister unless she has managed to get a little sun.

If you want to try something really fun, I like to smudge just a little on as eyeshadow for a girls night.

@Diva: From what I’ve read it’s supposedly universally flattering. On me–I have very pale skin– it’s a very bright fuschia-y red. I would think that more of the red and less of the pink would show on an olive-toned skin. I’ve been wearing mine all morning and it is lasting really well.

“Strange and Unexpected” is exactly how we’ve always thought of you, Plumcake.

I’m always in the market for good red lipstick, but I have actually never bought drugstore lipstick. How is it in texture? I tend to wear Dior or Chanel lipsticks and I could find something that would allow me to pinch my pennies, I’d be all over it.

Also, I did not intend that to sound so incredibly snobbish, I just have a very expensive lipstick habit!
