Bold Colorful Lip & Neutral Eye

On days that I don’t feel like applying much make up, I like to wear a bold lip color and a light neutral eye. This is one of the fastest make up looks that you can do and still look polished and put together. This type of look only takes me about 5 minutes.

Here are the items I would recommend using to achieve a look like this: 

• A bright bold lip color (all three of the colors in the below pictures, purple, orange and hot pink are MAC lipsticks)
• A tinted moisturizer or foundation to even out your skin
• A brown or black eyeliner to highlight the outsides of your eyes
• Mascara of your choice

 

This is the great spring and summer look because you don’t need to spend a lot of time on it and it’s fun, and trendy. 

**Another fun idea is to apply a blush or cheek stain in a similar hue to your lip color to really give a fun pop of color to your face without looking too overdone. 

Have a great week! Talk to you soon.

Love,

Lauren

The Importance of a Good Eye Shadow Base/Primer- My Favorite Choice!

To me- applying an eye shadow base before applying make up is like brushing your teeth. It’s absolutely necessary and NEEDS TO BE DONE!!

I am surprised at how many people never use eye shadow primers. A good primer makes all the difference in the world when you want to create a really beautiful professional looking eye look. It helps your eye make  up last longer, prevents it from creasing, 

brings out the depth of the colors and makes your lid look more even and perfected. 

My favorite is “Painterly” Paint Pot from MAC Cosmetics. This is something I really don’t go a day without. I have tried dozens of eye shadow primers and I’m still addicted to my Painterly. 

Please watch my short video I made talking about this  WONDERFUL product!

Run don’t walk to get this for your lovely lids if you don’t have it already. If you’re going to a local MAC store (in the Twin Cities) , feel free to reach out to me for some other product recommendations and I can let the amazing girls that work there that you’re coming in.  

LOVE, LAUREN
