sound of sunshine...

 Found a new summer makeup look I am loving on www.ellecanada.com, it natural with a tangerine twist!
Here is a how to from their site! Enjoy!

Wearing a high voltage lip colour like tangerine and persimmon can be daunting, that’s why we connected withGivenchy’s National Training Manager, Mylène Fillion to lay out the ground rules for getting the perfect orange pout. 



Step 1: To help the lipstick appear more smooth and even, Fillion says, “The first step is to apply a small amount of luminous foundation on the lips as a base. Then, slightly powder your lips with a translucent powder” (Fillion suggests Armani mico-fil Loose Powder ($49). 



Step 2: Using a lip brush for a more controlled application, apply the lipstick from the middle of the upper lip towards the ends. Do same thing for the bottom lip. 


                                                               

Step 3: To achieve a more clean and polished look, Fillion recommends using a lip liner around the edge of your lips. It is essential to use a lipstick that is moisturizing and high in pigment to maximize the length of wear. 


Tip: Not all skin tones can handle a neon orange pout as it really depends on your individual colouring. Try playing around with shades of coral or peach, which are flattering on most skin tones, for an equally fresh summery look.
