Think Pink

Summer is the perfect time to go out of the box with your makeup routine. Trying out a look that you've never done before can be so fun, and you may find yourself falling in love with the look! 

My basic makeup routine usually consists of brown liner on the eyes and a muted rosy lip, but I've recently decided to try something I've never done: bright pink lipstick! 

The thought used to make me cringe; bubblegum pink or anything bright on my lips would have me emulating the 80s, but not in a good way. However, I started warming up to the idea of pink lips when summer started. The season is bright and fun and playful, so I decided my makeup could be all those things too!

I decided to look for a nice beginner pink and ending up buying the L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick (the best drugstore lipstick) in Wisteria Rose. The color is very pigmented, but in such a nice and feminine pink that isn't too little girly. 

I paired my bright lips with some black liner on the top lashline with lots of black mascara.

Go Green!

A couple months ago I purchased green eyeshadow on an impulse. I've never been super dramatic with my makeup, especially my eyes. I usually focused on a statement lip. But once I tried this smoky green eye, I was obsessed! It's such a fun and unique take on a staple makeup look for many. I bought Rimmel's Glam'Eyes Trio Eye Shadow in Tempting. I followed the directions on the back and applied the shadows with some EcoTools eye brushes. Once the shadow was on, I took my Mally Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eyeliner in Deep Olive and put a few strokes along my top lashline. I then finished it off with three coats of No.7 Fanomenal Lashes mascara in Black. And voila! The perfect fun take on the classic smoky eye.
