The red lips, eyeliner, lashes & soft contour classic.
Thank you Makeup Artists from the 50’s for making this classic look epic. I love this look because it focuses more on a clean face and bold lips. I am an advocate for the rule : bold eyes/nude lips . bold lips/soft eyes. I personally cannot wear a bold lip with a dark smokey eye.. I just can’t. Now what I can do is do a nice bold liner with a bold lip… but I do leave the lid neutral. This look is pretty self explanatory and easy for anyone to do.
I mean after all… it’s a classic for a reason.
Key Products:
– NYC black liquid liner in black
– MAC Cosmetic’s “RIRIwoo or RUBYwoo” w/ “cherry” lip liner to outline the lip . Another great option would be Lime Crime’s “Red Velvet” Velveteen.
– False Lashes (wispy style lashes recommended for minimal drama)
– Bronzer /Mac Beauty Powder
– Makeup Forever HD Foundation
– Pro Makeup Sponge
– ABH Brow Pomade in “light brown”
Thank you for reading. XO.
