First is Chanel Iman’s red pout at Dsquared2 (which showed at Milan Fashion Week).
Now Chanel is rocking both intense smoky eyes and a fierce red lip in this photo, but for the purposes of this post, ignore the eyes and focus on the lips. What I like the most about this look, is the crispness of her lipstick lines: there is definitely lip liner at work here.
To get this look, outline lips in Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl ($24, sephora.com), outlining your lips with pencil first, prevents the lipstick from smudging or running which is super important when your lip color is bold red. Then color in your entire lips using the pencil, which prevents you from having harsh colored lines on the edges of your lips, provides a good basis for the lipstick you will apply on top of it and if the lipstick wears off, you’ll still have color below.
When you are finished coloring your lips in with the pencil, apply red lipstick over it. Try Dolce and Gabbana Classic Cream Lipstick in Fire ($30, saksfifthavenue.com), I am obsessed with their lipsticks and I promise that you’ll love them.
The second look that I think would be cute for a wedding guest is the dramatic, gorgeous eyes at Lanvin.
I think the gold shadow is what really makes this look special. To get it smudge Laura Mercier Eye Shadow in Gold Dust ($22, sephora.com) into your upper lids and along the inner corners of your eyes. Then apply a fine line of black shadow below your eyes. Try Dior Ultra-Smoothing High Impact Eyeshadow in Flash Black ($28, sephora.com) which has great shimmer. To get the thick lashes you could try black mascara (my favorite is Dior) or you could really up the ante with falsies. Try Laura Mercier Faux Lashes ($18, sephora.com) which look very natural.
Ok, that’s all I got. What do you think of the suggestions?
