No matter what outfit you decide to wear, makeup can make or break your look. Finding a balance between natural and glamorous is hard when you’re transitioning from going to class to going out, but this Fashionista found a happy medium.
Even though she decided to rock a pair of sporty Tommy Hilfiger sneakers and a fluffy jacket, her makeup is feminine and playful. Combining a fresh, glowy face with a sporty outfit is being seen more and more, and is the perfect way to change activities or environments without feeling under or overdone.
Her berry red lipstick pairs perfectly with her light maroon top, and gives her face a sassy pop of color. Choosing the right lipstick to wear with a sportier outfit is tricky because if you go too bold it can look out of place. By taking the color of her top and toning it down a few notches, her lips actually complement her outfit and bring more color to her face.
Another thing I loved about this beauty look, was her natural brown smoky eye. She started by prepping her lids with an eye shadow primer  before applying anything else. Then, she chose a shimmery nude eye shadow that matches her skin tone and adds just a hint of glitter. By choosing a brown, she kept the look very natural so that the sparkles wouldn’t appear to be too drastic. Glitter is another thing to be wary about and can easily look too dramatic, so it’s important to choose a color close to your skin tone if you’re wearing it with an active outfit.
Lastly, she completed her gorgeous look with a coat of deep black mascara, to make her lashes pop against her skin and the nude eye shadow. Mascara is always an easy way to transform a beauty look and really tie everything together.
Next time you think you’re too underdressed to rock a colorful lip, think again. Makeup can transform any outfit if you use it the right way, so don’t be afraid to try!
