Notice how simple glamour can be ...I love the contrast of the red lips and cheeks with the white fur and simple diamond necklace. I often hear comments such as : "Red lips makes me look old!" or "I love it on you just not on me ...i cant ever find the right shade" .I guarantee that there is a red lipstick for every complexion, its just a question of finding your perfect shade. The secret to this look is keeping the rest of the face as fresh and natural looking as possible- notice the barely-there eye makeup with a touch of liner at the outer corners to give some definition- to balance out the boldness of crimson lips.
Insider Tip: To define eyes without adding an obvious black line ,dab brown powder or pencil in between the roots of the upper lashes then smudge with a brush or finger.

The black peep-toe pumps look great with the grecian inspired dress that is originally a beautiful pale pink shade...
