Although it is summer here in Australia, I want nothing more than to whack on some deep, chocolately brown lips. As everyone in the whole world knows, brown nude lips have been 'in' for almost a year now. Everyones heard of the Kylie Jenner lip and almost everyone has tried the trend.
Im no stranger to this trend, I think I wore Velvet Teddy for almost a month straight, (including a job interview and formal events) and its probably my all time favourite lipsticks. but today, we are talking about a very deep rich brown lip- which can be super hard to pull off, especially when you're as pale as me. But realistically, there are NO rules in makeup so here's how I pull off brown lips (with a simple sparkly eye and glowing skin) -

SKIN :
I wanted to be glowy as hell for this look, seeing as the dark lips can distract and make me look very pale and very flat. so in order:
> Loreal Lumi Magique Primer *
> IT cosmetics CC cream (review here) MIXED w Nars Sheer Glow (Deuville) *
> Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - Fair 15 *
>ELF Under eye powder (only under the eyes to set concealer)
> HourGlass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent (highlight cheeks + inner corner) *
>Essence Ash Eyebrow Powder (PERFECT for pale skinned contouring) *
EYES :
Quite possibly the easiest and most effective look ever. I pretty much do this eye look every day for school because its super put-together and easy!
>Kryolan Eye primer (aka the best eye primer thus far)
>Kat Von D 'Moulder' to set primer
> HourGlass Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant (for warmth in the crease) *
> Australis Metallix cream eyeshadow in "Guns n Rose Petals (aka the most beautiful cream shadow ever) (apply with finger, it HATES brushes)
> Two faced Better Than Sex Mascara *
BROWS :
> Maybelline colour tattoo in Tough as Taupe *
> Essence Make Me Brow in 01 Blondy Brow *
LIPS:
The absolute star of the show, I love this lipstick so much. Its so richly pigmented and a lovely chocolatey brown colour! It's matte and lasts forever, maybe even a dupe for True Brown K?
> Essence Lip Liner 05 Soft Berry * to line the lips
> BH Cosmetics MISSY LIN lipstick *
