Bright Lips - Slightly Megan Fox Inspired!
I went a bit crazy experimenting with make up! I hadn't done a bright lip in a while, and took Megan Fox's make up style as my inspiration.
I like an orange toned red and used a velvet matte lip pencil by Nars in 'Red Square' I usually reach for it in the summer but digged it out for this look! Makeup should have no boundaries! I topped it off with a coral lip gloss by Benefit in 'Fresh Squeeze' which has blue reflects in it, I added cool tones to contradict the warm but quite like the effect!
Are you ditching the smokey eye for the bright lip this time of year? I think I'm 50/50!

Here are my tips for this look:
- Make sure you have a matte face.
- Apply pale shimmery colours to the eyelid & define crease with a matte light brown e/s.
- Apply winged eyeliner concentrating on the outer corners only.
- Apply black eyeliner to the waterline.
- Apply black mascara.
- Apply a orange based red lipstick & top with a cool based lip gloss.
- Apply bronzer and highlight. I used Illamasqua's bronzing duo in 'Glint & Burnish'. (No blush!)

I rarely wear bright lips, but this looks great on you. Perfect colors.
@Analytic Approach to Style wow that's a lovely thing to say :) cok tesekkurler :) but, providing the flick, contour and lipline is in proportion to the face, im sure anybody can pull it off!
