Contrast is the hottest fashion mantra this season. You can see it on the fashion runways and red carpets, in both garments and makeup. The use of neutral eye shadows with brighter lipsticks helps to balance the color of the lips. If you don’t want look like an actor on the Rocky Horror show, always avoid very stark eye colors with similar shade lipsticks.
Bright lipstick colors like red, hot pink or fuchsia are fashionable shades during autumn and winters. Contrasting eye shadow shades that complement bright colors are soft brown, cream colored or gold eye shadows. Want to imitate Emma Watson and Taylor Momsen with their luscious and bright lips? Here are a few easy steps to get that look-
- Start off by giving your skin an even tone. Use a natural mineral foundation like bare escentuals foundation. Apply it all over the face, including the neck, eyes and cheek bones. Put some lip balm on the lips to soften it. A concealer can be applied in case the lips are cracked.
- Apply a neutral eye shadow on the eyelids and blend evenly. You can try a subtle shimmery eye shadow for day wear or add more layers for evening wear. For added glam, you can add smudgy black liner during the evening too. My favorite here is the versatile champagne color because it looks great at any time of the day.
- Now, use a lip brush to apply a red lipstick or any other bright color of your choice. Use a similar shade lip liner to define the lips. Top if off with a gloss.
