Personally I am loving the colour blocking trend that has taken over S/S12; anything to brighten up the grey British summertime (seriously where is the sun hiding?) Why keep it just for your outfit though? Why not incorporate it into your make up as well?
Now I'm not saying that we should all be wandering around like Coco the clown but sometimes it is nice to shake it up a bit. So ditch the brown eyeshadow and pick up a turquoise or a purple instead. Slick on a fuchsia gloss, it is guaranteed to not only perk up your outfit but also your mood.
My long suffering friend and human barbie doll Albana agreed to try out the look. As a rule of thumb you should either emphasise your eyes or lips; it is the beauty equivalent of choosing an outfit that shows either your legs or boobs! I chose a punchy pink pout for a dramatic yet young and fun look.
The bright pink 'pout paint' by Sleek (available at Superdrug) used on Albana's lips delivers a highly pigmented glossy lip with a tiny price tag to boot, perfect for a night out and a great alternative to classic red. A light sweep of turquoise eyeshadow provides an edgy contrast to the pink lips without being over the top. Keep the rest of your face natural and clash your pout with your outfit for a fashion forward approach to the trend.
