In The Pink With Pink Lipsticks

There is something so sexy about pink lipstick and the whiter and lighter the better if you really want to get that sixties look.  It is a look adopted by many but especially Edie Sedgwick and Twiggy.  The Edie Sedgewick look is currently being marketed in kits for those who cannot figure out how to get this mod sixties look by themselves.

 

The biggest thing about choosing your lipstick color is to choose the right skin tone. For instance if you are Asian you need to go for a warmer deeper pink. If you are fair it is not a good idea to go to white. Blue pinks look better on some people rather than baby pinks.  It’s all about the skin tone.

 

There are some really great blue based tone lipsticks on the market out there. One of them is MAC “Lovelorn.” Its sheer and goes well with naturally pink lips. It is the type of thing you could see Sienna Miller wearing every day.

 

A spectacular pink that MAC makes is called St. Germain. It has a strong lilac base and it looks cupcake frosting. It looks best with darker or tanned skins.

 

If you love frosted pinks than MAC’s Bombshell is a good choice.  This is a frosted warm baby pink. It looks like garish cotton candy.  Mac makes a number of really fabulous pinks. One of them is Pink Nouveau which is quite garish with a purple tin and looks like something Katy Perry would wear. However Pink Nouveau looks good on people with olive or darker skins.

 

If you like the dark candy pinks then marks make a nice loud retro pink called Schlap. It is an eighties style pink. The kind of thing you would see Blondie wear.

 

Peachy tones look good on most people and MAC makes a really nice one called Chatterbox. It is reminiscent of the color on Malibu Barbie. This lipstick has a bit more orange on it and is very seventies in flair.

 

Yet another great MAC lipstick with a yellow orange undertone is MAC Please Me. This is a perfect bubblegum pin. It is semi-matte and dark enough to define your lips without making your lips look harsh. It is perfect for every day wear.

 

MAC makes a special Lady Ga Ga pink. This is called “Lady Gaga” and is a baby aspirin color with a very strong sheen.

 

Picking the best pink lipsticks is tricky business. Be sure to be there to try them on in person for best results.

Eyeliner Colors Trending

Black eyeliner never goes out of style but there are many other hues of eyeliner that are going to be very popular for winter.  One trend is a purple, especially a bright reddish/blue purple that is very vivid.  Purple is a color that you are going to see trending in all areas of fashion over the next few months.

 

Yet another trending color is teal.  You can use teal alone but the most effective look is a very thin line of black eyeliner that is then coated on top with a thin layer of teal and another thin layer of etalon the bottom eyeliner.  Teal eyeliner on the top lash also looks great with yellow eyeshadow.

 

A wild vivid color that is being seen everywhere is a bright canary yellow. Usually this color is worn only on the top lash line with very lushly colored thick brown or black mascara.

 

Gold eyeliner has been haute for a few years.  It looks best naked applied on both the upper and the lower lashes.  It has the effect of really opening up the eyes and it goes great with any eye color.  However it can really make beautiful brown eyes stand out even more.

 

Silver eyeliner is also in style still for this season. It looks best on most people as a second silver eyeliner on top of the black.  It looks amazing with a mint green or teal eyeliner too.  For a look that is complimentary for ski bunnies try layering the silver eyeliner with a powder blue color.

 

All green eyeliners are in style right now too. Mint greens give you more of a mod sixties look and look nice combined with black.  Bright frog greens are in style and have a look very reminiscent of the eighties.  Shiny deep forest shades are also in style and really give blue eyes a pop.  Dark green makes dark eyes look more mysterious and lighter shaded eyes seem like they have a violet hue.

 

If you tend to look tired all of the time then exploit the trend towards wearing powder blue eyeliner.  The cool tones in blue eyeliner can have the effect of making your eyes look whiter.  For a different, smokey look for your eyes layer the blue over black eyeliner.

 

If you want to be super trendy then layer bright pink eyeliner with a mint green or very light blue liner.  Bright pink also looks fantastic layered with gold and silver or black layers as well.
