If you like bright lips but tired of the same old shades of red and pink look no further.
This is modern, daring and well different.
It's been about playing up smokey eyes for a while now so its so refreshing to see make-up thats so clean and show stopping.
I absolutely heart this although it doesn't look as hot on me as it would others.
The trick to this is healthy looking skin, I always get compliments on mine but honestly guys I have loads of scars where I had terrible skin as a teen.
To give the illusion of really healthy skin use a light weight foundation that gives a not too heavy coverage so the skin shows through and doesn't look too plastered.
Next I use a highlighter and a shimmer free bronzer!
Don't use anything with too much shimmer and certainly not glitter. For a realistic glow use a matte bronzer, I also use a darker foundation to contour.
Skip the blush and move straight onto the lips...

It has a slight alien look about it but I actually like that fact. It's not the norm in your face "pretty" but I find it strong and confident.
To be fair you need alot of confidence for this if you dare to wear no eyeshadow or eyeliner OR even mascara, I felt the need to add the latter as I felt a little bare.
Lips are well defined and sharp use a lipliner if needed and clean the line with a concealer.

I think the orange lip is amazing. Like Beyonce in her vid for 'Why don't you love me'. It's sooo very vintage and an alternative to the red lip. What MAC orange lipstick do you think Beyonce is wearing?
ReplyDelete@paper street What part of the video? the one I recreated was more red. Is is when she had the vintage makeup? x
ReplyDeleteThat vid is just full of amazing looks! In the vid here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKqIgqJEH-o at about 4.10 where she has the all over black lace outfit and cap, as it seems not so much pin-up red but more like neon orange...or perhaps it is red and just the filter on the camera makes it look orange...?
