Breaking all the rules: Bold lips and eyes

When it comes to make-up, I usually break all the rules. Normally when doing a bold lip most people stick to simple neutral eyes. But the dress that I had decided to wear had so much color that I had to break that rule. So I decided to play with my BH Cosmetics 1st edition 120 palette. The lip color that I chose to be the focus of the look is by Milani Cosmetics and it is their Color Perfect Lipstick called "Mango Mambo". Milani is my absolute favorite drug store brand. They were the first makeup line that I was introduced to years ago and they have never failed to amaze me. The quality and longevity of their products has kept me a happy customer :). I also used another favorite of mine, "Beach Sand" by Milani.Any time I use this color I apply it wet with Mac's fix spray on top of a white base and it is gorgeous. All the details are below the pictures. Enjoy!

  2. Nice, the flow of the colors makes me want to put a song with them, I think I'd choose summer with miami, seems fitting. Keep it up though.
