Mrs. Makeup : Bold Faced Beauty
Mrs. Lilien | Thursday, February 23, 2012
The bold faced beauty, oh yes, you've seen her before - she's the anonymous siren you follow with your eyes and yet pretend to ignore - truth be told, her fearlessness you hopelessly adore!! She's fresh faced and pretty yet bestows a captivating semblance - she pulls off the extraordinarily saturated lip with unwavering excellence. Ah yes, you know that face I'm referencing - the one that's clean, bold and refreshing! Let's pull that look off the shelf and try her on for size - you know, a little neon lipstick can be so pleasing on the eyes.
To accomplish this bold faced look you must first brighten and even out the skin - applying an excellent Beauty Balm will vivify a radiance from forehead to chin.
Then come the cheeks, those rosy little plums - they should appear flushed + pink like you've gone said something dumbs!
On to the lashes, which are simply painted black - I suggest 1-2 coats, no need to shellac.
Finally the lips, the Bold faced pièce de résistance - a ferocious neon pink that you're gonna wanna flaunt! Let your lips to the talking - paint it on thick and let the onlookers do the gawking!
So there you have it, the Bold Faced Beauty look demystified - now haul off to the powderoom and go get beautified!

Hot pink lips are my "thing" right now. They're so fun and a nice switch-up from the more common colors. I instantly feel very fun and fashiony.
I've read so many articles that claim BB creams are the wonder product. Nice to know you're in agreement- perhaps I'll invest in one myself!
good picks. funny, i was JUST learning about bb creams yesterday. looking deeper into the benefits to see if it's a gimmick, or must have!
Just an FYI, the images have beauty misspelled several times as "Beatuy".
WHEW! I'm glad SOMEONE noticed... thanks Ali! Feels like I've been walking around all day with my skirt tucked into my pantyhose! Eeek! That's what you get for late-night work sessions! ;]
