BEAUTY BAR: Catching Some Red Lipstick Rays

June 10th, 2015 at 2:00am

Throughout the times, it has typically been a “fashion don’t” to wear different shades of one color together, but in the world where patterns mix and match to the max, any stylish combination is worth trying. Red, pink and orange don’t have to fight with one another. If it is styled properly, they can be a fabulous cohesion. This Fashionista conquers the red hue range with her knockout red lipstick, her white lace dress with light pink and orange underlay and her glorious curly red hair.

When it comes to applying makeup, less is more. Use brighter colors, but less makeup, and you will feel marvelous and fresh. With bold lips, it’s nice to balance it out with a more natural look for your eyes. To make a statement, a bold lip color is the way to go. This Fashionista shows more of her natural glow by showcasing the beautiful color of her lips. Her vibrant red lipstick is just enough to give an extra pop and acts as the final addition to her red hue trio.

Big, bold and bright lips shine in the summer. Also, those pretty pinks, strong reds and funky oranges are sure to make you embrace true color during the brightest season of the year. With very little effort, this Fashionista leaves her hair in gorgeous red curls. Her white lace dress with pink orange underlay complements the look because the lip color reflects nicely with the dress. No matter your hair color, no matter the color or pattern of your dress, if you want those beautiful lips, I encourage you to embrace the energy of full, deep colors. Find a complementary color palette that makes you feel confident so that you can shine on and shine brightly!

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To complete this look, you need your favorite shade of red lipstick for your lips and a red or orange dress that works up to par with the lipstick you applied. Also, if you want to add something to your nails, AVON nail polish will do the trick. Avoid shades of colors that clash, and keep the makeup light until that bright lipstick hits your lips.

    I am currently a student at St. Norbert College, studying Communication with a Media Concentration. Even though I go to a school in Wisconsin or what I like to call it the “Cheese State”, Illinois will always stay close to my heart because that is where I was born and raised as a kid. I enjoy taking vacations with my family and going to concerts with my friends. I like anything that is the color pink and one of my favorite places to shop at is J.Crew. I would describe my style as girly, preppy, comfortable and fun. I look forward to another fun summer as a Style Guru at CollegeFashionista. Here's to a rad summer, Molly
