The type of makeup I sport frequently tend to be very wearable. So when a formal occasion comes up, I feel a bit nervous about my makeup choices. I still want to look like myself (hence no dramatic eyeliner) and play up one feature on my face. I'm wearing a dark teal dress and also want something to contrast it.
After twitting about my ideas, my blogger friends voted for 3 looks a) copper eye and bright pink lips; b) bronze eyes and dark lips; c) silvery taupe eyes and nude pink lips. Today's look focuses on the bright pink lips. You can find the full makeup breakdown at the end of the post.
How do you think this against a dark teal dress?
Strong bright lighting washes off the warmth in my skin :( I don't have to worry about this during the party but this pictures don't show the correct of the coloring

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Gummy! I'm glad you like the idea. I haven't gone to the party yet. Phew! Still have some time to figuring out the outfit. I'll post 2 more looks in the next few days. Right now, I'm thinking of mixing yellow with rose golds.
