The Bolder the Better!

I have to say I'm excited about spring 2011. The make up trends are all about lips and they are bold, bold, bold! From Marni to Fendi the runway was splashed with neon lips in bright colours such as; matte hot pink, coral and bright orange. You don’t have to wear these shades matte, you can dab on with your finger for a softer finish, go for the shade but in a gloss, or wear it as a stain. For those of you brave enough to go bold keep the rest of your face simple and fresh, you don't want a fight between the eyes and lips here. The attention should be on one feature, Lips, Lips, Lips.
Don't be afraid of colour on the lips, this season is all about colourful clothes and make up. YSL saw rich, glamorous make up looks with strong, red, glossy lips and bronze/pink shimmering eyes. It’s a return to 70's glamour with better quality products than they had back in the day.
I decided to go for a Barry M lipstick in bright pink with a pink gloss to match, at first it took some getting used too, but I have to say after a while I felt like I was returning to my more playful persona! You do get a sense of freedom and a sense of dare. My skin actually appeared to 'pop' with this colour on my lips. I looked healthy and younger...bonus! I say grab a shade you like the look of, hold it up towards your skin and you'll see the one that makes your features spring to life. Get home and try different ways to apply it until you feel you've nailed your perfect pout. Enjoy!
