Let's all go to Blue Banana shall we?
So, my sister turned up at the house the other day with a navy lipstick, I instantly wanted to play! I love the idea of alternative make up and strange lip colours and I don't think that navy is too far out of the norm. Especially if you wear purples or deep reds. Anyways, I created this look and I am genuinely in love with the outcome, I'm not so sure where you would wear it but my God does it look good (If not bizarre.). Because I know most people would think this was crazy because it isn't the most wearable look I also paired the eye look with a nude so that you could see both :)
For my eyes I took a combination of some shadows that I have been adoring lately! For a base I used Collection Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencils, first Vanilla Sky on my lid, browbone highlight and inner corner before using Denim Diva along my lower lashline and waterline. Then, I tightllined using Midnight Glam also. To intensify the look I used a mix of MAC Woodwinked and MAC Arena all over my lid before deepening up the crease with a deep brown from the Charlotte Tilbury The Sophisticate palette - but any brown would work fine! I used my old favourite liquid liner today, the Collection Fast Stroke, to create a wing. I have to say, I'm not all that impressed with it anymore, though it definitely is good for the money! I added lots and lots of mascara to my bottom and top lashes with the Maybelline Volum' Express One by One and ta-da, eyes are done!
The face is really neutral I just bronzed up using Chanel Bronze Universale around the perimeters and furthered it with Vivo Baked Bronze in Healthy Glow 3. Stunning combination for bronzing I think! As a finishing touch I added some MAC Tenderling to my apples. Now onto the good stuff! For the navy lip option I added Manic Panic Glamnation Lipstick in After Midnight. I hadn't heard of the brand either, but I was happy with the formula because it was so creamy and pretty opaque. For the nude option below I used L'Oreal Nude Ballet.
I hope you enjoyed seeing something a bit different! I love the finished look for both lip colours! Which do you prefer?
