ELLE – DIY Beauty: Makeup Looks From the Runway

As a I was web surfing I came across this neat article on Elle.com about an editor who usually wears a neutral look to work and decides to try 21 different runway looks to work for 21 days. My 3 favorite looks are the bright orange lipstick, two toned lips,  and blue lined eyes + red lips. You can check out the article here. The photos above are directly from the site.

The bright orange look is bold enough to make a statement but not dramatic enough to generate weird stares out of the corners of people’s eyes. Focusing on the lips and keeping the rest of the face relatively minimal is an easy way to change up your look without much difficulty.  The two toned lips is a really creative runway look. Red and black would we a cool combination! But it’s definitely not a look I wear on a date if you know what I mean.

 What I really liked was Day 21 – blue lined eyes + red lips.  It wasn’t so much that I loved the look but because she decided to get out of her comfort zone and find a new look like she actually liked. I’m all about experimenting with different looks and not get stuck with the same look. It’s nice to play around with different colors to find what you’re into and ultimately know exactly what works  for you and what doesn’t. Experimenting with different looks also can help you find your signature look.
