Beauty buyer’s remorse: we’ve all been there — it’s buying a product you’re just head over heels in love with from the description and packaging on the tube, only to go home and discover it makes you look clown-ish and all wrong. Don’t fret, however — you’re not alone! We all make these beauty blunders in the store while clinging to the hope that we are buying based on an informed decision. but it’s really hard to know how it will appear since we are all so individual with our skin types and needs.
A potential solution can be using Beauty Bar, a site that has has made the trying and buying process easier than ever with their new interactive Makeover Studio. The Beauty Bar site allows for trying out looks, testing out colors and more.

Eager to try a new lipstick for fall? I am desperate for that deep plum color seen all over the fall 2012 runways. Now was my chance to try it on and filter my shade, without having to wipe off excess color with a department store tissue! See above for my test run of the color; yes, the lining of the lip isn’t perfect, but I certainly got the gist of which shades did and did not work with my complexion.
What do you think of my new lip hue? I think I’m going to gofor it (and I PROMISE to apply it within the lines, of course)!
