I have way more lipstick than should be allowed -- from retro reds to pastel pinks -- I have it all and I love them all. This summer I've been giving this look some extra love, though: a punchy coral lip with a simple face. It's fun, young and worth giving a try if you're bored with your blah lipglosses. Here's a step-by-step to how I get the party started with this bright lippie.
Here's what you need:
Concealer & Brush for outlining your lips
Neutral Eyeshadow & Primer for a solid wash of brightening color; I mixed Foxy & Booty Call from the Naked 2 palette
Coral Blush similar in shade to your lipstick, not an exact match
Mascara or Falsies you want your eyes defined without harsh eyeliner
Coral Lipstick mine is Sephora's Neon Rouge Samba
Bright Earrings just for fun, to play up the color of the lipstick
1. Start with a prepped face -- foundation, concealer, filled-in brows -- the whole bit.
2. Carefully line the outside of your lips with concealer and blend. It stops feathering & defines your lips.
3. Sweep eyeshadow a shade lighter than skin tone along your lids & thinly line them. Pile on the mascara for full definition.
4. Sweep a coral blush along your cheeks to give them a flush so the lipstick won't overpower your face.
5. Fill in your lips with the lipstick. Use a brush for more definition.
