We’ve all had those days, the ones where you feel lacking or just boring. You look in the mirror and think, “I’m just not feeling it,” then you want to crawl back into bed and forget about the whole thing.
Well on those days, Fashionistas can’t go wrong with spicing up their make-up. Adding a pop of color to your lips and nails can revive your look with the simple sweep of a utensil. Not to mention, it’s totally on-trend as tons of celebs, like Kendall Jenner and Olivia Palermo are pulling off bright lips.
Especially in the summertime, lacking color in an outfit is a no-go. When you end up in that go-to all-black (very flattering) outfit, bright lips and nails can save the day. Any color will suffice, whatever floats your boat that day. As pictured, an electric pink is the perfect addition of girly and sweet for the rest of the outfit and this Fashionista creates a great balance between sugar and spice. Your balance is up to you, go full-on edgy or full-on sweet; you can’t go wrong. Orange, purple, red or even blue are exciting summer hues that anyone can experiment with and add to their makeup bag.
All other makeup should be minimal, so you don’t have the infamous clown face. The attention will be drawn to your lips when you’re smiling at a passerby or to your nails when you wave to your coworkers. A day that was drab is instantly brightened by a small change in your beauty regimen.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To get the look, you need a bright matte lipstick and a bright nail polish. The rest of your makeup should be simplistic, so work with a BB cream and your favorite mascara to keep the focus on the color.
