Dark eyes red lips.

These days nearly every magazine I flip I see dark eyes and red lips. I heard there is this 'makeup rule' that states that you should always focus on one part only, either your eyes or your lips, but I guess the designers don't give a damn about any rules...

Since I have a hen's night to attend soon, I thought the theme could be dark eyes red lips with long dresses... sure damn outstanding wan!

Testing testing 123





Main item used:-

Cinema Secrets Ultimate Foundation #303-66A
Shu Uemura Eyeshadow Matte Black 990
Loreal Paris Red Classic 511

I don't know, just testing it out. What do you think? Is this look wearable for a night out or should we just leave the dark eyes red lips trend to the fashion magazines?

I think this a perfect look for a night out! I have been on a red lip kick lately... Now i just need a night out on the town to rock them properly.

Thanks for stopping by!

looking good! if there's one thing i still can't master its the smoky eye, but you pull it off so well!

i think the red lips/dark eyes could work, it just depends on what type of place you are going to.

I love both looks, but I love the dark eyes light lips better! and I would say, leave the dark eyes red lips to fashion mags :)

Jessie said...

Hmm I dunno, doesn't seem to work for me. But I think you chose the perfect red lipstick for you :)

Connie said...

Kevyn Aucoin convinced me that even dark eyes and dark lips can work so there really isn't a set rule about it! Anyways, I think the look is gorgeous on you BUT I'd probably go for a less bright red lip just to soften the look a little. It's looking a tad vampy at the moment. I don't fancy the nude lips on you. Looks incomplete.

Hayley said...

hmm..the eyes color is nice!
but if for me, i will choose other lipstick color.. may be the not-so-red one...

prettybeautiful said...

wow! i am sure u will look damn outstanding with the stunning red. i think bloody red lipstick is not for me definitely...

michelle said...

i prefer ur look without the red lips.. unless u wear sth red..

I normally am not one for red lips, but you pulled it off really well! The first look would be stunning paired with a simple black outfit, me thinks. The second one, um, some lip gloss or a pale pink shade on the lips will complete the look. :)

I think your tanned skin tone makes the smoky eyes red lips look OK ... a too-light shade of foundation would easily make it look ashy ... people with fair complexion also should not try that. I think a darker, berry shade lipstick would look better though? Or even dark reds

so edgy!`

both look absolutely gorg!! you've done a perfect red lip.. hotness!

The Style Page said...

The red lips balance the smoky eye, but is strictly a nighttime look. With the nude lips, I'd recommend a sheer nude lipstick that slightly intensifies your natural lip color.

i like both the strong eyes and lips, hot!

everyone, thank u so much for the comments. i've decided that since i'm no model material, going lighter on the eyes will look better with the bright red lips.

and ya, after looking at my pics again, i think i do look kinda scary lol

thanks for the constructive comments again.

xx
