In my opinion, the best affordable red lipstick on the market is Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in "Fire and Ice". It's a classic bright red, and the application is very thick and creamy. (Bonus: If you blot it after you put it on, it'll last a very long time- even if you drink or eat!)

@MissGoldenDreams13 I've been wearing that particular shade a lot since the beginning of the year and love it! Though I find it a bit bright for me every day (but I'm super pale, so that plays into it! ;). But still it's great!

Do you have tips about applying vintage-style makeup on hot, humid days? I want to look polished, but it gets so disgusting here in Taipei (something like 88 celsius, 100 percent humidity). I'm sure summers are just as muggy in Florida!

@stcatherine I haven't found a "perfect" way to keep things looking nice when it's hot and humid, but have been contemplating looking into something like an all-over face primer for days I need to keep things looking good for a long period of time. For a spot-specific solution, I found that Urban Decay's Primer Potion worked amazingly well at keeping my eye makeup in place during the summer! Most days though, I have to admit, I just keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't look too bad! ;)

Casey, this look is truly beautiful. So classic and elegant!

Ii was just wondering, as for store-bought items, do you have any idea where to shop for classic a-line dresses and generally timeless beautiful clothes?

Everything is so stock full of trends....

[elegantlyamused]

@ashers303 I'd recommend trying places like ModCloth, Trashy Diva, Babygirl Boutique, Ruche, etc. for vintage inspired pieces. Some of these places you have to dig a little, but many of them have those classic styles that evoke a timeless look! :)

your so lucky to have great lips!

[rebstevenson]

Thanks Casey! Very useful video.

I didn't read all of the comments but I do agree with the general consensus that the look is really cute. As for feedback on camera quality I did notice the picture was much clearer than in the older videos. I tried your easy braided updo today. My hair is a bit shorter than yours so I had to modify it a little. It worked though and as for wispies I ended up with more that enough thanks to the rain. Next time I try it I will see if I can get someone to take a picture so you can see the resu

I feel like im watching a video from the 40s when i watch yours. You have the perfect vintage lips!! So pretty

@mineraljunkie I would highly recommend going to the MAC counter and having one of the makeup artists help select a red that works with your skin tone. There are several other popular shades of MAC red within the vintage community (Ruby Woo comes to mind), and I've found it really helpful in the past to go consult with one of the assistants at the MAC store/counter! :)
