BEAUTY BAR: Vamped Up

With so many fresh and new products being released regularly in the beauty market, makeup is quickly becoming an exciting way to take your look to the next level. Whether it be a colored cat-eye, a sultry, smoky eye or a lavishly lined lip, this year’s beauty trends are sure to make you stand out and add that extra pop to your look. Summer is moving quickly and fall brings along with it a vast array of cool, deep shades rather than the traditional summer brights. For many women, these dark shades seem too daunting to incorporate into a regular beauty regimen, but with the right tips and tricks, you’ll be a pro in no time.

Adding a pop of color at the lip is something that can easily be incorporated into an everyday makeup routine. Lipsticks are now available in a vast array of colors ranging from reds to nudes to even blues and greens! Picking the shade that’s right for your skin and hair color is the key to pulling off a bold lip. Pick a shade that complements and adds to your natural beauty. Always make sure to try on a lipstick before you purchase so that there isn’t any disappointment later.

This Fashionista is sporting a trend that has been seen everywhere lately including on celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Emma Stone. The dark plum lip may seem intimidating but it actually is one of the few shades that looks good on a range of skin tones, and did you know that it makes your teeth naturally look whiter? Applying this color is the most difficult task but there are a few tips that can make it much smoother than it may seem.

Always exfoliate and moisturize your lips before applying a dark shade. If your lips are dry the color is more likely to crack and lose its luster throughout the day. Lining your lips is also a great way to get longer wear out of your lip colors. It also gives you a boarder to follow when applying the lipstick, lip gloss or lip stain of your choosing. You can also set the lipstick after application with a loose translucent powder to ensure that it won’t smudge. With this bold of a lip try to keep the rest of your makeup simple in order to keep the lips the star of the show! This Fashionista paired her plum shade with an intricate black romper, simple black slides and a few accents of gold for accessories at the neck and wrist. So next time before a night out on the town, instead of reaching for your go-to nude, vamp it up with this perfect shade of plum!

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? This Fashionista kept the rest of her beauty makeup neutral by using a contouring eye palette and simple liquid black liner. Her subtle blush and bronzer combo ensure that the focus is on her beautiful plum lip, creating the perfect look for a great night out.
