mistle-toe schmistle-toe

as I was cleaning up a Christmas painting project (painting a wooden snowman)...I thought of ideas for all the left over glitter.......I thought it would be so rad to use this "so-fun" red glitter on lips....and then highlight with the iridescent white glitter.....
so off I went to color my lips in a test it out.....MAC pigment in cool red.....with a bit of gloss to be the glue....and then packed on the glitter.....then more on the highlight spots...the fattest center of the bottom lip and the top "cupid's bow" of the upper lip......
it looked so much better in real life than in the pictures....but that's what happens when you just have a digi-cam....and not some fancy camera....on a shoot under lights..this would've looked awesome!so after I rinsed my mouth and spit out all the glitter....I realized this..as many other artsy ideas I come up with for make-up...are best for a photo shoot when you're not gonna be drinking or kissing anyone...or maybe if on New Years you don't want to kiss anyone...put on even more glitter!!! ha ha ha
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! and may the mistle-toe treat you right!!!!
