Swatch - Barry M Lip Paint 146 Dolly Pink

This amazing pink lipstick was included in the prize package sent by Candice @ Makeup Box. :)
It was the first thing I tried from the goodies but it took me some time to get around to swatching since it was kinda difficult to capture this rather chameleon-like color. It sure looks different under different lighting!

Barry M Lip Paint 146 Dolly Pink


Dolly Pink  is a (very) blue-based medium barbie pink color.
It is one of those perfect colors that requires a right complexion paired with other suitable makeup colors.
I am not sure this color is the best choice for me although I am pretty light with neutral colorings.
Nonetheless, Dolly Pink  is a shockingly beautiful color that sure grabs some attention. ;)

The lipstick itself is a full-coverage one with traditional feel, smell, and taste, so you need to prep your lips carefully with some exfoliation and moisturizing with non-greasy lip balm since it could accentuate lines and dryness of your lips.

To me, this would work best as a "statement" lipstick color.
I'd like to try this with falsies and base makeup with more coverage. 
I guess "Dolly Pink"  deserves that. ;p

What is your best way to wear blue-based pink color like this?
Have you tried Barry M Lip Paints? :)
