Beauty 101: Lovely Lips

Kate Bosworth

Lip color is all the rage for summerand lovely lippies can make your entire beauty look pop! I love Kate Bosworth soft, but bold pink lip color. Her lip color comes off as more as a glossy color because it is not too matte and has just the right amount of shimmer. Try to find a nice lip color that has shimmer in it since it is summer and nothing should be too matte or dull. Lip glosses with major tint and pigmentation are great to use because they are easy to reapply and stay on for a good amount of time. The best colors to try are pinks, purples, and reds of any shade r tone that fit your skin tone well. You may end up purchasing more than one to get the color just right, it's all about experimenting sometimes! A big tip is that if a color doesn't work, try blotting the color or pairing another color on top. Remember, if your lips aren't in tip top shape, use chapstick or the toothbrush method to exfoliate and brush away dead parts of your lips.

Fashion 101: Pops of Color



Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson's outfit is the perfect example of ways to add in a pop of color! Pops of color are used when your outfit seems too dark or has too much of one color. A pop of color is exciting and gives your look more personality and head turning power! The best places to add a pop of color is with a shoe, purse, accessory, or even in the shirt or bottoms. Other simple places to add a pop of color could also be with your nail polish or make-up. I love how Rachel Bilson incorporated two pops of color in two neons, it is absolutely fab! Rachel shoes are fierce, the yellow is a little too muted to be considered neon, but they still are bright against the black pants. The bright blue shirt brightens up Rachel as well as the room. I especially love the overall flowiness of the top and the nice ease it gives off.

Fashion 101: Neon Color Pops

Khloe Kardashian

Fergie

Elle Fanning

Neon is a hot trend for spring and summer, but there are some people who have a fear of such bright colors. However there are very clever ways to work around a bright pink dress and instead wearing pops of neon in your accessories. Bright purses, shoes, and necklaces are subtle but also make a nice statement. I love how each celebrity in the photos above wore a neon bag and I especially love the peek-a-boo neon in Fergie's clutch. A neon bag looks great with any outfit, even if your outfit already contains neon. For a night out, Fergie's outfit is perfect, she stayed classic with a little black dress and added some oomph by pairing it with neon heels, jewelry, and a clutch. Try it out and sow how you rock neon colors in your looks!
