Once in a blue moon I am 90% happy with my hair, and unexpectedly, it happened today! So I wanted to take the opportunity to post a FOTD wearing hot pink lips, which is what I am obsessed with at the moment. It is just as bold as red lips but much easier to pull it off on a daily basis. I can wear this look out in the day without feeling “too much”…As for the eyes, I went for my favorite taupe shade, the slight purple undertone of taupe complements the hot pink lips perfectly.
Face:
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation
Les Tissages De Chanel in Tweed Fuchsia
Nars Albatross Highlighter
Eyes:
Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Eyeshadow in 83 Illusoire as a base
Chanel Ombre Essentielle in Taupe Grise applied on top
Lips:
Shiseido Lipstick in Enchanting Pink (LE)
Btw Happy Chinese New Year to all my Asian readers! Don’t forget to wear bright colors for the festive season 🙂

This is such a great look! I notice that you’ve dipped into the Laguna – me too! I want to get some Perfection Lumiere, but like you I’ll go with B30 because I’ll be in Muscat for a month.
You look fantastic in hot pink lips! Like you, I’m not always happy with my hair. I’m too lazy to actually use a hair dryer so on most days there is a 50/50 chance it will look wonky lol.
Have you bought anything yet from the Chanel spring collection? Any thoughts?
Not yet! Chanel Spring collection is not in Australia yet..I’m running of my patience..:(
Beautiful as always 🙂 Chanel’s Taupe Grise looks amazing 🙂
lovin your pink lips!!! really pretty!!!!
Fantastic look. You’ve inspired me to break out the Tweed Fushia and try it again – it’s soooo vibrant! I may use it more often now (Tweed Pink is my go-to blush and a nameless Stila fushia included in my Barbie Palette).
The same for me Amanda, Tweed pink is my go to blush as well! As for the Tweed Fushia, yes you are right – it is soooo vibrant! I like to wear it with a bronzer as it helps to neutralize the hot pink.
you look like a total doll…your eyes look incredible honey…love the lips too….you’re definitely having a great photogenic day lol
What a pretty color. So romantic.

I really like your makeup..you’re always look so great but i think cool tones fits you more…Can you do a white face-dark eyes-dark eyebrows-soft pink cheeks tutorial , i think it will be gorgeous on you!
Thanks darl! Yes I’ve been thinking about doing a smokey eyes look for while, will do one soon if I still remember how to do smokey eyes..:P
Lovely! I love hot pink lipsticks, but the only one I’ve so far had the guts to wear is the RA Laque in #78 Phoenix, love that one!
This Shiseido one is gorgeous, suits you! 🙂

Hi Lakshmi thanks for the rec! I just googled RA laque in 78 phoenix – it’s breathtaking!! I need to have this one, hope it’s not a LE…
It’s not LE, hope you enjoy it when you get it! xoxo

Happy Chinese New Year, Reika! Love your flawless look as always of course. You rock the hot pink lips like no other!
One of your most loveliest looks. I love wearing hot pink lipstick as well. Happy Chinese New Year, Reika! 🙂
such flawless pictures! beautiful!
Oh my, Reika, you look amazing! I convinced myself that I could never pull off Tweed Fuchia but boy am I regretting that decision now! 🙂
Oh, and Happy Chinese New Year to you!
Thanks Cindy! You are so sweet! Tweed Fuchia is still available in Australia, it is a little tricky to pull it off as it’s so vibrant so I don’t wear it everyday. I also find that wearing tweed fushia on slightly bronzed skin makes the pink less bright on the skin.
You look so pretty!

Reika- perfect look:)
Is this Shiseido lipstick still available to buy?
I don’t think so Anja. It was LE at the time I bought it.
LOVE this look! tweed fuschia looks great on you!

That will be handy! Can’t wait for the post 🙂
Hi Reika! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find you blog since it’s such a lovely and informative blog! Quick question: what are your opinions on the Laguna bronzer? I’m pretty much the same skin colour as you (NC15-20, Asian) and I’m always looking for a good contouring shade that won’t end up orangey on me. Would you recommend the Laguna bronzer or a brown blush (and any specific brands)? Thanks so much Reika!
Thanks for the sweet comment Sam! I like to use Laguna bronzer to add a bit of color and warmth to my skin, but I won’t use it for contouring as it is very pigmented so it’s not that easy to work with to create a natural contour effect. My fav shade is a light cool brown blush by MAC strada, perfect for nc15! I also like to use Bobbi brown e/s in wheat to contour the nose.
HIH!
Ahh thanks so much for the reply! I’ll definitely look into MAC Strada – I’ve heard that it’s been discontinued (eeek!!! But I’ll still check out my mac store XD) but the people on MUA have left some pretty good dupe options so hopefully I’ll find a nice contour shade 🙂 Thanks again for the advice!
