BEAUTY BAR: Gray All Day

April 29th, 2016 at 2:10am

Its seem like the big beauty trend lately has been bright and bold lipstick. At this point, everyone has tried out the typical shades of deep red or fuschia. In order to stand out, you have to choose a lipstick color that is more than just pretty. Up your beauty game by experimenting with lipsticks in unique and unusual colors, like gray. Especially on days when you are feeling dark and moody, you can still make a daring statement with gray lipstick.

This Fashionista created a fun but edgy look that was reflected in her beauty routine. Other than the gray lips as the focal point, she continued with the bold makeup through strong and defined eyebrows. Sculpted eyebrows are the key to creating a sharp beauty look. She draws attention to her eyes through the use of black wings and shimmery gold shadow that she lined underneath her eyes to lighten them up. Her face makeup also brings light to the dark look through the use of a highlighter and bronzer. Her hair is pulled back into a braid that highlights her face and puts the focus on her makeup. The rest of the outfit fits the edgy feel, with dark colors like burgundy and black. The mix of the long flowing skirt with suede high-top sneakers completes the cool-girl vibe that this look brings and makes the outfit easy to move in on campus.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To replicate this Fashionista’s look, the first step is finding a good gray lipstick. Strong eyebrows can be achieved with a tinted brow gel in the color corresponding to your hair color. She uses a black liquid eyeliner to create winged eyes and shimmery eyeshadow. To complete the look and make sure it stays in place for a long day on campus, finish it off with a setting spray.
