Thumbing through European magazine has got to be one of my absolute favorite pastimes. I find myself gravitating more and more toward European editorial, as it injects me with such a refreshingly creative boost that I just haven’t been getting from American magazines these days. Europe is just light years ahead of anything fashionably we do here in the States and the same can be said of makeup trends as well. I can remember my experience studying abroad in Slovenia and the young people there were just so inspiring. Lately my mind as be completely entrenched with the city of love- a le Parie’. Looking at the all the editorial and runways out of Paris, I notice the girls have a very distinct look: strong lips/bare face. And when I say strong lips, I mean STRONG: lavenders, oranges, powder pinks, black-not just the traditional red lips we do here. I for one am absolutely in love with the idea of putting the boldest color on your lips and letting the rest of your face breathe. It’s interesting because I can remember the time when all I liked was colorful eyes and nude lips, but these days I am completely in love with the nude eye (maybe black, winged eye at the most) and a bold lip. It’s probably one of the easiest ways to make statement quickly, which is always a plus. A few looks I want to try:
KISS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
