A Pop Of Colour For Summer

The spring/summer 16 runways were packed full of colour and glitter with designers such as Vivienne Westwood Gold Label, Kenzo, Manish Arora and Issey Miyake giving us lots of inspiration!

One look that never fails is a classic red lip. Make your lip pop by opting for a matte texture. NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in ‘Jungle Red’  is the perfect summer shade. Layer it up and blot with a tissue to really make it last!

This season, its all about keeping skin pared back and giving the lip a youthful feel. Keep your look up to date by pairing your red lip with a fresh and illuminated bare face. I love to use NARS ALL DAY LUMINOUS WEIGHTLESS FOUNDATION for its light feel and illuminated finish.

One thing to remember is to have fun with your makeup! Don’t be afraid to use this seasons red elsewhere! Try buffing NARS ‘Exhibit A’ Blusher around the eyes for a real colour pop!

Using glitter doesn’t always have to be a scary thought, with festival season here, go big and go bold!

Go 70’s with your colour placement. Apply NARS ‘Taj Mahal’ Blusher all over the eye and buff up towards the brow bone for a blended and blown out finish. Add a pop of Gold Glitter for a real eye catching effect!

Finish your look with some lip conditioner to keep your lips looking plump and healthy.viva_beauty_-5
