Add Some Colour, I Dare You

It's so easy to get stuck in an 'au naturel' palette of colours. The easy browns, muted peaches, safe sheer berry shades. I'm talking from experience. So every once in a while I make a conscious effort to add a bit of colour to my everyday makeup look. Nothing too in your face but it's nice to shake it up every so often. For me that means adding a brighter pop of pink to the cheeks, cue Bobbi Brown. As for lips, seeing as we are now in June I tend to reach more for brighter pink/coral shades. Still pretty natural but just upping the amp a bit, you're unlikely to see me rocking a bright red lip anytime soon but these two shades are just the right match.

I'm more confident at mixing up what I wear on my eyes. I don't know why but you are much more likely to see me wearing darker and varied shades on my eyes than on my lips. So to follow on with the blue trend that has been around for a while now I have two options. Firstly the eyeshadow from MAC which I either wear under my lower lashline to the eyes a bit more, or in the crease over a neutral shadow. Or, slightly more fool proof is the Max Factor option which I have been wearing as an inner corner highlight quite a bit recently or again under the lashline slightly.

So those are my suggestions. Add some colour, I dare you.
