Red Lights

Because it's Friday and I'm not going out tonight. I've been having a few extremely hectic weeks, and unfortunately there are more to come. So pardon the lack of posts in Beauty Eater. I have some time to squeeze in a tiny post about RED NAILS. It's my go-to color whenever I have a formal event/dinner. It's a feminine and an empowering color that gives you the slight nudge of confidence. I'm wearing Essie's "Lacquered Up".

Some other suggestions:
1) OPI's Big Apple Red
2) Tom Ford's Carnal Red
3) Butter London's Come to Bed Red
4) Clinique's Red Red Red

Read My Lips.

There is something about bold lips that shows confidence in a woman's ensemble. Bright lips, either matte or glossy, is undeniably effortless; it gives the impression to people that you don't try too hard to look polished. Lately, I have been amping up my face routine to ensure that I have a presentable complexion when I match it up with my bright colored lips. When I put my hair up in a high bun, I prefer to pair it with a bright colored lip stain and some mascara on my curled lashes. From that undemanding routine, I feel less terrified thinking about being too casual when I leave the doorstep. 

I heard, bright lips carry people's attention and wandering eyes towards your lips. 

To pull off bright lips:

1) Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil 

2) NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage

3) Obssesive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Meta Red

4) NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Luxembourgh or Yu

5) Sephora Collection Creamy Lip Stain in Always Red 01
