Winter Looks: royal blue liner and DIY lipstain.

People tend to associate certain looks with winter. the red holiday lip, frosty blue eyes.....i feel that it should be far more broad. in winter most of us frum ladies have paler skin than in summer. so in winter weneed to work with looks better suited to a lighter skin tone. also in winter we tend to play with cooler colors than in summer or spring. a very trendy eye combo for fall was gold and purple which i love because it is universally flattering. purple makes all eye colors pop and gold compliments every skintone, but for winter i would switch that to a silver and purple. if silver seems to guilded for you then go with something less bright like a pewter or greige. the idea is to cool the look down for winter.

another thing i like for a quick look is royal blue eyeliner. colored eyeliner is great in a hurry because it giveds you the definition of a liner and the color or a shadow in one swipe so no other products are needed. i choose royal blue because its less wild than the sky blue ive seen around but more vivid than a navy which can get mistake for black. give it a thin winged line.

pair it with a vivid berry lipstain. i say stain, not lipstick because a full lipcolor would compete with the color on the eyes and look like too much. don't have a lipstain? make one easily but applying a heavy coat of deep berry or red lipstick and leave on for 5 minutes. then blot off as much as you can. you'll find some color remaining on your lips as a stain. the secret is that even high end lipsticks use food coloring like red number five as pigments and when you have a highly pigmented lipstick and leave it on, the color will stain your lips just like a cherry Popsicle stains your tongue,
