Christmas has come and gone and now we have to wait another 11 months until it’s acceptable to blast Michael Bublé 24/7. However, with winter still upon us, we don’t have to wait another second to continue dressing for the colder months and letting our holiday spirit shine through. While Michael Bublé’s Christmas album may be out of style, winter coats, dark colors, and a bold lip certainly are not.
This Fashionista chose a neutral look as her base: black jeans, a dark blouse, and a black jacket. Her red lip is clearly the star of the show but the look remains polished and not overdone. If you are considering adding a red lip to any look, try keeping the rest of the outfit relatively simple. Whether that means you stay with a classic silhouette or a monochromatic color scheme, the eye will be drawn to your bold lip. A darker wardrobe will make a bright lip less bold and more wearable, but if you have a flair for the dramatic, opt for lighter neutrals (think beige and white) to make your lip color pop.
This Fashionista also kept the rest of her makeup subtle, adding a slight wing to her top eyeliner and a hint of mascara. However, she maintained a neutral color palette for the rest of her face, which keeps the focus on the lip color. She skipped out on the eye shadow and kept the face makeup plain and simple. She even kept the details simple, by accessorizing with just some dainty earrings that match the hardware on her jacket.
