BEAUTY BAR: Red Alert

If there’s ever a time to try a bold, attention-getting look, it’s definitely summer. The sun is brighter and the weather is warmer, and without the constraint of class, it’s easy to wear whatever we want. From floaty sundresses to fruit patterned shorts, the possibilities for summer apparel are absolutely endless. This concept doesn’t have to stop at just clothes. That hot pink lip stain that’s just a bit too vibrant for class is now completely wearable. And that cool sparkly mascara? Give it a chance! With summer’s carefree atmosphere, now is the time to dive into a bold new look.

With this idea in mind, it’s no surprise that this Fashionista stood out to me the second I noticed her. Instead of a classic summer outfit of denim shorts and an easy tank top, she donned this gorgeous skirt and crop top combination. The retro vibe of her look is so fresh, and the bright red totally caught my eye! But while I couldn’t get enough of her black, white and red color combination, her beauty look stole the show.

The red lipstick she wore paired perfectly with the red in her crop top, pulling the look together nicely. The red lip also helped reinforce the pretty, vintage vibe she established in her outfit! Thick black eyeliner made her eyes pop, but didn’t detract too much from the bold lipstick. I love how this Fashionista kept a good balance with her makeup, while keeping her bright lips the focal point.

She kept the rest of her beauty look simple with soft peach nail polish and an easy hairstyle. The mini hair poof keeps her hair out of her face and puts the focus on her eye-catching makeup.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? Recreate this Fashionista’s look with a bold red lipstick or lip stain, preferably in a matte shade. Line your eyes with black eyeliner and mascara. Finally, a bit of hairspray will keep your hair poof in place.
