It's been a long time since I've done a Pink on Brown lip. I'd say about 70% of my lipsticks are in the pink family, so finding a pink to use for this series isn't exactly hard. My problem is that I can never make up my mind which pink I wanna do next, knowing that I'm gonna eventually go thru them all. Terrible. So here's a pink that I adore from MAC called Lickable (cremesheen). It's a pretty blue-based cool pink, with lots of shiny agents thrown in for good measure.

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers out there! Especially to my own mom, who is probably the silliest woman I know...and where I get my everything from. She taught me how to cook, how to live and how to love. A phenomenal 52 year old powerhouse who acts 25 and appreciates the present moment while living each day is if it were her last. I couldn't ask for a better mom. I know she's probably reading this, so I love you mom! Hope you cook soon...I'm hungry! So now that all of that mushy stuff is out of the way, it's Pink on Brown time! Cue the cheesy 70's style game show music :|

Who doesn't love juicy kissable hot pink lips? MAC's Girl About Town lipstick ($14 - Amplified) is a favorite in my collection because it's so "OH, HAYBOO!!" loud, yet very wearable and just downright gorgeous. I haven't seen any skin-tone that can't rock this color. MAC describes it as a "fabulous fuschia", and that's pretty damn accurate. It's also listed under their "bestselling shades", so that should tell you something. Just about everyone loves this and everyone can wear it. From the super light to the super dark, this is your shade!

Attention beautiful brown-skinned ladies! Any ridiculous claims that stress "we" cannot wear bright pink lipsticks, is absolutely false! I'm here to put that myth to rest, 12 feet under! If anything, your gorgeous chocolate hues were made for colors like this. While it's true that not everyone can wear the exact same pink or red, it's also true that everyone CAN wear certain shades of pinks and reds. Here I am rocking the lovely Petals & Peacocks (amplified - $14) lipstick from MAC's Give Me Liberty of London collection, which has already jumped into my pool of favorites.

Oh yes baby! One of my absolute 'Holy Grail' lipsticks from MAC would have to be the gorgeous Rebel (satin - $14). Described as a "vivid pinkish-purple", I have worn this baby out and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It's one of the most gorgeous colors I've ever worn. It's a satin formula, which tends to be a little drying, but because this color is so beautiful I put up with it. But to be honest, I combat that by moisturizing the crap outta my lips prior to application to minimize the drying. This lipstick also stains a little...just a little. So even after you're done eating or drinking, it'll still be there, but it'll give your lips that "flushed" look. It's a very opaque shade, so you won't need to pile it on. My mom has tried this color and she loves it. I should buy her one so she can stop borrowing mine, but I'm telling you...brown girls, this color would look amazing on you!
