Red lips are as classic as the Little Black Dress, but there's no better time to try out the bold lipstick if you've been nervous to before!
Make sure your lips are smooth and silky before applying any color; reds tend to saturate the lips extremely well and can dry them out, so use a balm (like the Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment) before adding the color.
Next, pick if you want a matte or glossy color. Mattes are bold and make a huge statement, whereas glossier colors work as a more subdued, vampy look. Personally, I feel that orange-red hues look better as mattes, while darker reds with blue tints look great with a bit of iridescence to them.
With such a bright color, precision application is key. Apply with a lip brush (like this one) for liner-like precision.

Makeup artists at the Spring runway shows were thinking way outside the box with eyeliner. No longer just in the usual black or brown, eyeliners have gotten as colorful as a spring bouquet. Brands like Urban Decay and Stila have great colorful options, and Marc Jacob's Marc'er eyeliner pen is the graphic jet black liquid liner we have been waiting for.
Don't feel like spending thirty dollars on an electric blue eyeliner that you'll only use once or twice? Transform a colorful eyeshadow into a liner by wetting an eyeliner brush and dabbing some powered shadow on it. A quick, DIY version to the colored liner trend!
In addition to playing with the color of eyeliners, makeup artists mixed up the usual shapes. At Marc Jacobs, models rocked extended corners (both inner and outer) for an eye-widening, anime-inspired style. At Missoni, thick black lined the entire upper lash line but only the inner corners, creating a unique graphic look.
I will totally play with liner shape and color the next time I go out, and so should you!

Colorful eyelids were all the rage this season, with every color of the rainbow making an appearance on the runways. A dusty pink is a perfect daytime punch of color, while a vibrant blue or green make for perfect going-out looks.steither make your bright shadow totally graphic, or tone it down a bit by blending the color with a flesh tone shadow.

Apparently there was a colorful trend to my presents this year! Turquoise and gold are two of my favorite colors, and they are even better together :) Hope everyone had a lovely day full of family, friends, food and fashion.
What did Santa bring for you?

Ah, springtime is finally upon us, and it seems that the spring fashions have gone classically spring. Pastels are the march-to-may staple and everyone from Jil Sander to Yves Saint Laurent is jumping on the sweet fifties trend. Mint, peach, and bubblegum are the biggest hits. Take your pick!
