Wearing Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Pageant
The past few weeks i’ve been on the hunt for a bright and bold lip. The kind of lip that can add a splash of happy color to even the most dreary and rainy Twilight-esque Forks, Washington kind of day. This is my favorite look right now and it’s so very quick and simple to create. I am seriously obsessed with a clean, nude eye (simple wash of cream or powder just on the lid and maybe a little matte contour), thick winged liner (I used Camera Ready Cosmetics Gel but you can also use liquid of course) and finally of course, it’s all about the lip!

I’ve had the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (did they name this company after me??!!) Lip Tars for a long time but i’ve fallen in love with them all over again. They are such a unique product. More of a hybrid liquid lipstick that isn’t too matte yet not a gloss. The texture is very different too. When you twist the cap off your very first Lip Tar be careful not to squeeze the tube as you may do with a thicker textured lip gloss. The Lip Tar’s are very thin and light in consistency! What I love the most other than the unique texture is the incredible amount of pigment! This is one extremely concentrated color lip product so again don’t squeeze a bunch of product out unless you are planning on painting your lips along with half a dozen of your friends or family!
To apply I suggest lining your lips which is optional but if you prefer to shape your lips like I do definitely don’t skip this step. Then gently let a tiny droplet of the Lip Tar pool at the top of the tube and use a lip brush to apply. Remember this is very pigmented so start at the center of your lip and blend the color out. This will give you a more controlled and precise application which is very important if you’re using one of the brighter/darker shades which will magnify any uneven, crooked applications!
There’s a huge range of color that you can wear alone or mix and match to create your own custom colors!
