Fall into BOLD Lip Color!

Bold lips are carrying over into fall and we want you to glam it up in the perfect hue! Check out these beauty tips to pull off the perfect look:

Deeper hues work on deeper skin tones, while pinker, lighter shades work on lighter skin tones.

Get The Look:

1.    Keep your eye palette neutral. A swipe of your favorite subtle color will help your lip color pop!

2.    Prep your lips with a moisturizing balm to keep them from flaking. Chapped lips look amplified when covered in a bright pigment.

3.     Add on your bright color. One coat will give you a muted look while still being bold, while two coats will really make your lips stand out. Blot on a tissue to absorb excess moisture.

Ready Set GO:
