FOTD: My Makeup Look This Week (Peaches & Green)
This eye look I actually do quite often because vibrant greens such as this (Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Mildew) really bring out my dark brown eyes. I decided this week that I wanted to do a somewhat tropical look and I decided to use shades of greens and oranges on most days. Those are definitely my two favorite colors, right now more than ever before! The “orange” is actually more peachy, which is more appropriate for making this look work.

A hot makeup trend this Summer is bright, semi-matte lip colors in Starburst candy shades. It’s very colorful and fun! Think magenta, purple, and orange hues – the intensity of the color depends on your skin tone. If you think you can’t pull it off, think again! Be sure to keep your eye look minimal (think a simple cat-eye look and/or mascara only) and only use a light dusting of blush on your cheeks, if at all. Opt for a moisturizing lipstick in a bright shade and apply 2-3 coats, blotting well with a tissue after each coat. The result should be a chic, semi-matte “stain” effect on the lips that is bold and fun. (Yet, it works!)
Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor in Rose Rage is a bright pink shade with a subtle dustiness that makes it amazingly wearable, even on dark skin! Rose Rage adds a perfect pop of color to my NW45 skin on days that I’m flying by with mascara only. The formula feels luxe and moisturizing and never dries out my lips. Max Factor’s Vivid Impact lippies are an awesome drugstore pick, not to mention THE go-to line for this summer’s bright lip look! It even made Marie Claire magazine’s Top Beauty Products of the Year list.
