Neutral Looks

Natural products are everywhere as well as cosmetics. The natural product is also transferring over into a natural look, especially for the lip. A nice neutral lip is great this spring with bold smudged eyeliner will be seen everywhere.

To wear a neutral lip first line and fill in the lips with a flesh toned lip liner.

Apply the lipstick with a brush blending the lipstick color with the lip liner.

Bright colors will also be seen on the nails. Some of the main colors to grab will be teals and purples.

Tip: If going bright all over is scary, start with a bright lip or a bright eye shadow on the lid. Get used to a little bit of color before going all out.

Daring Lip Colors
