Let's get BOLD.

Want to know what's the best thing about summer IMHO? There is the great weather. And awesome fresh fruit. Next to those is COLOR. After going through winter, where people tend to keep their clothes and makeup on the dark side, spring/summer runways, such as this years, are filled with colors and vibrancy! This years trend were bright bold colors and natural flawless looks. This one falls in the first category:



So I started off with the usual foundation/concealer/powder routine.

Then EYES: Primer of course, then I used my BH Cosmetics 120 palette and  did a gradient of yellow to orange to red, same to top and bottom lashes. Plus I added some dark brown in the crease to give my eyes more depth and highlight on the inner corner and brow bone.

QUICK TIP: Blending is crucial, in this looks I made sure the colors blended together so that there were no harsh lines. The brown was also blended well to create more of a shadow effect.

Moving on: use a small amount of bronzer on all high points of face (cheeks, nose, temples) and contoured under chin and under cheekbone with a matte brown from a contouring palette.


For the lips I use a orange-red lipstick called Sienna (220) from Revlon Rouge Velours and a little bit of clear gloss in the middle! FINITO!

Anyone who says that a bold lip color should only be used with neutral eye makeup is boring, have fun!
