Latest Trends - Bold Eyes & Lips - Get The Look!


One of the latest trends that is set to be a huge hit this spring breaks all the beauty rule books on wearing bold eyeshadow & lipstick together!! Normally if you play up one then tone down the other, but not after Dior's A/W 2010 collections on the runways this season, they combined bright blue eyes with red lips & came up with a look that was hot to trot!!!!!!!
To get the look, go for a blue/turquoise shade with a little shimmer through it to add add some reflexion that will keep it light, sweep across the lids but not right into the inner corners (blend a little pearly highlighter there instead). Keep it soft, just a wash of colour & blend it into the socket line so it still stands out, try Urban Decay's eyeshadow in 'Peace' for that perfect light blue/turquoise shade. Don't line the eyes with any heavy liner for this, just go for some white liner in the inner rims of the bottom lash line & lashings of black masacara to make the eyes pop!
For the lips go with hot bold red, take two coats with a lip brush & blot after the first to keep it matt, try Ruby & Millie's Lip Colour in 'Red 450'.
