Frieda Pinto at a premiere for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"

I almost died when I saw Frieda Pinto wearing brown lipstick. I know hers is more of a berry brown but this is definitely something that I want to try out. I also love her simple coppery lined eyes with black in the waterline.

Current Obsession: Brown Lipstick

Lately I've been loving brown lipstick. The last time I lusted after brown lipstick it was the 90's and I was in elementary school. I  bought a wet'n'wild shade to go with the ever so popular wet'n'wild 666 lipliner that I kept in a period appropriate turquoise and purple heart shaped plastic mini kaboodle. I never really wore it out in public seeing as I was a child but ever since then I have steered clear of it . . until now. I really like what Rodarte has done with it. In their Fall 2011 collection, Rodarte makes wearing brown lip color seem organic and delicate. 

I made my own version of the color using a dark red lipstick and some brown eyeshadow. Now I'm on the search for 3 shades of brown; dark brown, a creamy medium red toned Rodarte"esque" stain,  and a sheer natural everyday [Angelina Jolie] nude.  Next time I'm near a mac store I will definitely check out the lipstick color, "Photo" that is featured in this months August 2011 issue of InStyle magazine. Any suggestions?
