The day I know a lot of us ladies dread is coming up. You guessed it: Valentine’s Day. Whether you have a hot date or not, who said you can’t follow the holiday theme? Ever wonder how to catch cupid’s eye and be struck by a bow? A bold lip! Recently, this Fashionista got a hold of a NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Creme 36 piece gift set. The formula is smudge free, intensely pigmented, and super conditioning to the lips unlike most mattes that tend to dry lips out. Not to mention, super cheap! A single, long lasting tube is $6, but this pack was a $216 value priced at $65 retail. It is such a great buy that it’s reselling on Amazon and eBay for over $100!
The best way to wear a flashy lip color is to wear lighter eye makeup, rather than dark, to avoid looking overdone. In this makeup look, this Fashionista paired light-to-medium pink eyeshadow with a cool-tone, burgundy lip. Although the colors to wear are red and pink, my Fashionista stuck with her typical black outfit style but added a pop of matching color with her wine-colored bomber. She also showcased swatches of some other colors that would be perfect options to grab your crushes attention. She overdrew her lips slightly to achieve a plump, sexy look for a dinner date. Really trying to impress? Add a dab of shimmer highlight to your cupids bow using your finger.
This Fashionista’s outfit consists of a lace crop top, paired with black skinnies, and high knee boots. Too casual? Ditch the crop top and wear another lace, more formal top. Swap the bomber for faux fur.
Boyfriend, girlfriend, or not, pucker up this Valentine’s Day and show off those fab lips!
