Midnight Media

more shots from the black lipstick sequence. i had real fun fiddling my black lipstick.. up to the point where my dad appeared into my room without any knocking . my dad gave me this "no comment and shocked" look, and he quickly shut the door. good thing he didnt talk about it over my dinner, or that'd just be pure awkwardness.
anyhow alot of you asked what's the brand + shade im using for the lipstick.. well for the shade, its on the title (aka Midnight Media) and it's by MAC . I also used a waterproof (you wouldn't want black smear all over the chin) black eyeliner pencil to line the edges of the lips beforehand. then I applied a bit of MAC's Gloss to make it look slightly glossy.









truly sorry for my slightly longer-than-expected absences. my projects are taking a whole lot of my time ! I promise I'll be back with lots of posts once the tasks are done ! I cant wait till I finish university this December :D

ps. im still accepting questions for the Q&A; post ! just write something down in the comments :D

LOVE THESE PICTURES! Love the black lipstick (you pull it off SO well), and the emo message on your arm. At first, I read "I want to clic"... and I was like, HUH?! Silly me! :P

Good luck with school and wahhh you're graduating so soon! :)

I've always been curious about black lipstick, and not just during Halloween, either. I really dig this look!

Though I've also been no stranger to getting weird looks during photo shoots. xD

And that was funny about your dad. Lol.

Really edgy and high fashion style of shoot and editing. I love them! They look so professonally done that anyone could have mistaken it for an ad. You not only take great pictures and edit them well, you're also a great model. Like many, I'm also curious about how you edit these.

Oh and I recently received black lipstick from my frenz from Anna Sui. They're really jet black but they come off so easily due to the creamy texture. Maybe I'll line my lips with eyeliner to at least make sure the colour doesn't bleed outside the lip area.
