Perfect Pout
Q. I've heard you should accentuate either your lips or your eyes. I normally wear eye make-up, but on my wedding day I'd like to have a strong colour on my lips to match my '50s retro theme. I am fair-skinned with blonde hair, and I don't want to look vampy. What shade would suit me best, and how can I make it last all day?
A. Sam Easter says: It's true that the general rule for bridal make-up is either accentuate your eyes or lips. Make-up inspired by the '50s can bring a very sophisticated and glamorous wedding day look, as this decade stood out for its sophisticated image of femininity. A flawless complexion is the key, with immaculate semi-matte skin and as natural a look as possible. For retro lips, use strong colours with red tones such as raspberry or Bordeaux.
Don't forget to apply lip liner to keep the lipstick from smearing. This season's tones are dramatic and very defined so your stroke must be perfect. The shape you give is up to you, but a cupid's bow will make your lips look very sensual. |
