FOTD: Violet Lips and Dramatic Wings

Posted by : SealedwithaSwatch Friday, January 10, 2014

I've really been into statement lips lately, which is sort of odd for me because I really enjoy playing up my eyes. I caught sight of this Maybelline Color Elixir in Vision in Violet and immediately fell in love. The color is just so fantastic and the shininess factor of it really appeals to me. I don't want to give too much away about it because I am working on a review of three different Maybelline Color Elixirs, so stay tuned for that!

Because the lips are so intense, I wanted to balance my face out with a dramatic wing. Some people may choose to keep the eyes virtually naked, but I just had to have my winged liner. I ended up just being at home rocking this look, so it was all okay!

I also wanted to mix warmer colors on the face to keep some color in my cheeks. I reached for my new La Femme blusher in the shade Heather. I purchased 7 shades from La Femme, so I fully plan on doing a review on them.
