If you’re anything like me, you like to play it safe and usually stick to a natural and familiar look when it comes to beauty. But with a new semester just beginning, now is a perfect time for all of us to break out of our comfort zones and try something new.
Fall is quickly approaching and therefore it’s a great time to start incorporating those darker colors that have been hiding not only in our closets, but in our makeup bags as well (or a good excuse to go out and treat ourselves to something totally new!) Makeup can be as important as any accessory in enhancing specific outfits and personal style.
A great beauty tip, particularly for college students on a budget, is to combine a few of your favourite lipstick shades to create a unique color. By doing this, you not only get a great new color without having to spend additional money, but you get the benefit of being able to create a completely customizable shade. This Fashionista is a big fan of this resourceful beauty tip and uses it often. To create this specific look, she combined two MAC lipsticks: Persistence and Smoked Purple.
A great style tip to use for accentuating a bold beauty look like this one is to balance it with a simplistic outfit. This Fashionista did just that by pairing her bold eye and lip look with a uniform black outfit. This will make your unique makeup be the focal point of your look!
