On my lips: The Myth of Thalia

This is actually the lip combo that I wore with the eye makeup in the post below. The round lipstick from NYX in the color 529 Thalia has been on my wish list for some time now.
But unfortunately I do not like this lipstick on my lips. The color is much darker that I expected and not as nude as I hoped.


To solve this I used Myth from MAC underneath. This is a pale nude and this made the color a little bit lighter and a little bit more pink. It is an improvement but still I am not in love with this color. I doesn't match my skin tone and I think this is caused by a purple tone in the color of the lipstick.

I paired the lipstick with the Lip Pencil in 831Mauve and this is a perfect lip pencil for Thalia. The colors are a pretty close match. This pencil is also good for shading and contouring your lips.
