rms Beauty cocktail of colours

One of the many good things about the rms Beauty products is that they blend together easily to create different shades. This was particularly welcome on my recent holiday when Mr London only allowed me to pack the bare minimum* cosmetics.

I discovered on holiday that these two Lip2Cheek products (designed to be used on lips and cheeks, not surprisingly) work really well mixed together.
Smile (left) is a sheerer light-to-mid coral, and Rapture (left) is a semi-matte reddish brown. Neither have shimmer. 
Left: top Rapture, bottom Smile. Right: Rapture and Smile mixed together. Mixed together, I get a sheer rosy apple red that is an easy way to wear a reddish lip in the summer.

Applied on my lips. I find the easiest way to mix on my lips is to apply Smile first, then a dab of  Rapture in the centre of my lips and blend it out. For my cheeks I mix a little on the back of my hand, as in the photo above, and then apply.
Full face picture with the blend on cheeks and lips.
Although it's not a colour I'm likely to wear on its own, I'm now very tempted by sheer beige/nude Muse Lip2Cheek to blend with other colours.

*3 Lip2Cheeks, 3 rms Beauty cream eyeshadows, 2 Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadows, 1 Rouge Bunny Rouge Blush, Rouge Bunny Rouge pencil eyeliner, concealer, brow pencil, mascara, 3 Tom Ford lipsticks. I barely made it through the two weeks.

  1. Do you find that these really work on lips and cheeks? I have no problem sticking y lipstick on as blusher but always find that these products that are meant to do both work about as well as blusher on lips, ie, not at all...

  3. Hi Julia. These are one of the few lip/cheek products that I can wear on both lips and cheeks (I find the NARS Multiples too dry on my lips, for example). These aren't too dry, although with the semi-matte ones I do need to prime with lip balm first.

    I also like the Beaute Liqui-Gel Stains, and find those work for lips and cheeks too - they are more of a transparent stain though.

  5. I've not heard of these before. Good to know they work on your lips as well.

  6. Nice to hear of a product that says it can do both jobs and actually do them. So many times, I find that a lip and cheek product will only work on one of those areas for me.

    The mixed shade looks good on you and the Rapture is right up my street.

  7. You've really got me thinking about what my 'bare minimum' will be for my trip next month - what fun!

  8. Hello-hello!
    Being still on holiday (well, technically I'm just away from my London home, the actual holiday only lasted a week), I appreciate the usefulness of multi-purpose products.
    Smile is such a cheerful colour and the combination of the two looks so pretty on you...I've had very satisfying results with B.B.'s pot rouges and, very surprisingly, with Nars' recent Multiple Tints.

  9. The combination of the two colours looks beautiful on you. There's something about these colours that really makes your other features stand out, your eyes look so brown in the photo! Where can you buy RMS products?

  10. Hey Nina! I'm very tempted by those new multiples, I like the transparency of them.

    Hello Lucia - they are good to mix. Hugs back!

    Hi BristolBeautyBlog - it's a nice line, particularly for those looking to avoid chemicals/go organic.

    Hello BellaQueen - Rapture is a great colour, although it's vivid it's a very flattering and natural looking colour when applied.

    Hi Joolz - oh, let me know what you manage with! ;)

    Hey MB - I get mine from beingcontent.com. It's a really good brand for a super quick face.
