Punch up Your Pucker with Color

Summer’s in full effect so pale puckers get ready for some bold color.  Feel fun, free and flirtatious with fuchsia. Who says summer is just for bronzed or barely-there makeup? Your time to shine is now with bright, cool, candy coated shades. Need some inspiration? Think Rihanna. This daring diva knows how to work a bold lip — especially fuchsia — and I’m feeling this pretty-in-pink mentality. A bold lip works best when worn effortlessly on a pared-down face (think creamy tinted moisturizer, mascara, well-groomed brows). You’ll stand out in the crowd, on the runway and simmer on the street. Creative director Pat McGrath for CoverGirl and Max Factor said it best in a recent issue of Essence, “The key to working electric color is to keep the look chic and simple.” And yes, you can still do smoky eyes.  But go for smoky neutral eyes, bronzed skin and then that eye-popping pink lip. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to go bold!
