Peach & Purple

According to rumors of the runways, peach and purple lips are in. I consider this to be disturbing personally for the following reasons. With regards to peach, my lips turn orange with any kind of coral and peach tone set to them, and with purple, it looks like I am half frozen. Blue lips would make me look completely frozen, so I hope the "blue lip" is a look that stays out of the mainstream trend cycle...forever.
Anyway, I will take my own advice and be sure to find some neutral colors in these peach and purple hues if I am so inclined to bother. Otherwise, I am sticking with my classic, neutral lip color that works. Oh, and here is a solution to a common problem...
You applied a lip color that pulled too much pink on you. Hope that you have an alternate lip color that is on the brown or "warm" side. Once you have found that brown based lip color, apply it directly over the pink! Do the same in reverse if you start off with too much brown or orange. Whenever blue based and brown based colors are mixed together, they neutralize each other. This can save you time from having to take off that awful pink color, and it can save you money because you don't have to run to the makeup counter (again) to buy "the perfect" color. You may have just created it, you makeup "artista".
