Hi guys and gals! Happy Friday! It's really starting to feel like Spring here in sunny Los Angeles, so I had this sudden urge to create a look with bright orange lips. I know some people shy away from it thinking it's too bold and out there, or that it won't match your skin tone. Well guess what? Orange is a universal shade that flatters everyone.
Yes, you read that correctly. It instantly brightens up your skin and warms your complexion that makes you look and feel ready for the warmer weather. It's also a fun alternative to red or hot pink lips. A lot of people say to keep the eyes simple when wearing orange lips, but here at Bows & Curtseys, simple is not allowed! You CAN wear bold orange lips and color on your eyes without looking like a clown. As long as you wear a complimentary color on your peepers in a toned down way and add some warmth to it, you can get away with it and look fab! Try wearing purple, blue or green on your water-line, or even right about your regular liner. Oh, and you cannot forget the full, luscious lashes, either!
I want to give FauxLash.com a quick shout-out for being awesome and sending me these complimentary lashes! They are just beautiful, well-made and super light-weight. Love them! They are long, full and have tiny black sequins that instantly give any look added drama. Just what I needed for this look!

ReplyDeleteI love this look! As soon as you said bright orange lips, I knew you were going to incorporate purple in some way because purple always goes well with orange
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or do the pictures not work? I'd love to see this look though, I really need to figure out how to work coral or orange lippies.

A beautiful look and I totally agree with you, orange fits everyone! It feels so frustrating knowing that all you guys in LA are having so much warmer than us in Sweden. We have snow, it's really cold and depressing. Send me some spring, would you? :D
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love the orange lipstick!
