I am so bad at remembering to take pictures of the beautiful ladies who’s makeup I do, and even worse at posting the pictures I do take. Here are some of the pictures I took of the lovely Brides, Bridesmaids and Grads who’s makeup I have had the pleasure of doing this summer. I will also be putting together a photo album on our Facebook page!
Pink, pink, pink!!! One of my favorite makeup trends for spring is a bright pink lip. Fuchsia lips were the look at many of the Spring runway shows like Fendi, Jill Sanders and Diane Von Furstenberg. And latley I have been seeing celebrities like Emma Stone, Kate Bosworth, Jennifer Hudson, Camilla Belle, Rihanna and Cate Blanchett rocking the look and I just love it!
When wearing a bright lip I think it looks best if you keep the rest of your makeup clean and simple. To prevent fading, first line and fill your lips with a nude pencil and then apply the lipstick. Or for a less intense jolt of color, try a sheer gloss in a bright pink shade. This is a makeup look that can look fabulous on anyone no matter what you age or skin tone but the key to wearing this bold look is picking the right shade of pink for your coloring. Always, always, always try the color on your lips, trying it on your hand or just looking at the color in the tube won’t work because you need to see what the color looks like with your natural lip color.
Come into Crave today and we will help you find your perfect shade!
What do you think of the bright pink trend?
