Neutral...With a Flare

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are doing well and having a great holiday season!

For this week's look, I wanted to do a neutral look and switch it up with a bold and then soft lip color to show the versatility.
I opted to go for a more dramatic flare to the lid shape, but you can blend the colors to whichever shape you prefer. :-)



I used this E.L.F. Neutral Palette to complete the look, and it was only $3. :-)


Lashes: Red Cherry 62's
Blush: Nyx Powder Blush in Dusty Rose
Lips: Nyx Round Lipstick in Chic Red with Mirenesse Lip Bomb #2 Gloss
_____________________________________________________________

Now for a change in lip color:


Lips: Nyx Round Lipstick in Perfect with Cafe Latte Lip Gloss
This is perfect for those who love a dramatic eye paired with a more natural nude lip.


I hope you like it!  I love how versatile neutral colors are for everyone and you can really dress them up or down just by changing your lip color.


Thank you so much for visiting!!  I truly appreciate it :-) 
I hope you have a wonderful new year!! Cheers to 2013!! 
XOXO,
Colleen
