Lo and behold, grey days are back – and just when we thought summer was finally here. Add a ray of bright to your day with these colourful offerings:
ELES Micro Bubble Lipstick in Micro Sherbert (a peachy-orange) is uber soothing – thanks to the chamomile and aloe vera – yet packs a punch that will brighten the dullest of days. Also, MAC Viva Glam Lipstick in Viva Glam (an intense blue-red) produces a pout that won’t go unnoticed.
Get prominent peepers with a beam of beautiful colour. Try a bright summery shade like yellow or orange. Bh loves COVERGIRL 4 Kit Eye Enhancers in Tropical Fusion (bright orange, blue and green) and MAC Eyeshadow in Chrome Yellow (vivid bright yellow). Or, go pop diva with a gregarious green like Prestige Cosmetics Mono Eyeshadow in C-225 (a garden green) or a bright blue (Ultra3 Eyeshadow Quartet in Once in a blue moon will do the job).
If a flamboyant flutter is more your thing, how about Australis Cosmetics Mega Lash Mascara in Electric Blue or Red Earth 2V Mascara in Purple?
Fluoro too flash for your face? [Note: we’re not suggesting you wear all these colours at once, god, no, that would be more car crash than fluoro flash!] Not to worry, you can still add a touch of colour to a dreary complexion without being too vivid: opt for an illuminating foundation or primer like Clinique Up-Lighting Liquid Illuminator or Rimmel London Illuminating Anti-Fatigue Foundation.
Plus, get your pulse racing with bh’s brand spanking new two-minute make-up challenge: see Nat and Liv face off in the ultimate race, only to resemble a rainbow!
