Girl About Town

MAC Girl About Town that is! I must warn you that throwing this lipstick on will make you feel like a girl about town. I felt like one, even in my pajamas! I do apologize for that haha, because the first three pictures are me in my Betty Boop shirt :) Don't worry, afterwards I throw on an acceptable blazer ;)

Getting back to Girl About Town, it is best described as a great hot pink/fuschia color and the perfect choice for an unexpected bright and bold lip. In terms of my makeup, I honestly felt like anything less then the eye makeup I did (as neutral of a smokey eye I could achieve with such a lip) on my face and features would just make the look too unbalanced. Most people go by the standard of either dramatic lips or dramatic eyes, and I agree with this standard when I'm doing eye makeup for glasses, but on my face I feel like it needs a bit more punch to look done and finished in general, when it comes to me with my rare contacts.

 I did a lot of shimmery light highlighting under the browbone and gave my lid a nice shimmery vanilla beige-y color, with some glitter sparkle added on top thanks to MACS Antique Gold Reflects Pigment. I used Urban Decay's Darkhorse, a great dark browny shimmery shade in the crease and outer V, and added some black to the Outer V and right above my lid. I added black liner on top and in the waterline, and a dark brown to my lower lashline. Add false lashes, bronzer, blush/highlighter if you desire, and of course Girl About Town (or a similar hot pink lipstick!) and the look is done :) 

Note: I will try to get a picture of the lipstick w/o flash because it shows up as more neon then it is! In person it is a bit darker and really hot pink, whereas this looks like more of a Barbie pink, but I figured it was worth the close-up anyway :)

Bonus: I did this makeup today to take pictures with a friend! We had, a very interesting experience, to say the least, taking these classic photo strip pictures at Forever 21. I got the hot pink lip and she got the red! Enjoy our hilarity, and our many, many bloopers :)
