Think Pink
Although I love the holiday season, the fluctuating weather here in Florida dampened my spirits a bit since I got sick and remained that way for TWO weeks! But I am feeling A LOT better and was able to pull off a makeup tutorial. I love watching Fashion Police and the last two episode Kelly Osbourne was wearing a beautiful matte pink lip. I just had to recreate it for myself. Putting the wonderful NYX brand to good use, I did a simple eye look [using BH Cosmetics 88 Warm Palette] and let the drama speak from the lips. To maximize wear and color payoff I applied Too Faced Lip Insurance (which is a lip primer) and then lined my lips with NYX lipliner pencil in "Bloom" (a lovely, vibrant pink shade). I filled in my lips with NYX Matte Lipstick in "Merlot" which is a bit brighter than "Bloom." The look could end there but I topped it off with a dark pink gloss by L'Oreal HIP [Tainted].
