Every fashion week saw a bolder and brighter statement being made. Departing from the traditional red lip shades, bright neon colors are now at the forefront. A touch of pure color is all that you need to pull of this new trend.
To start with, you could try out a sun-kissed look. Use a foundation or concealer as a base and then add some powder to subtly create a matte effect. Depending on your skin tone, choose a shade that stands out while still in keeping with the look you want to create. A pastel or a shade of pink in a slightly darker color than your skin tone would be ideal.
And finally, add that splash of color to your lips.

Strong, shaped brows give more definition to your eyes in the absence of eye makeup. And since the focus is your lips, it’s best to keep the rest of your makeup as minimal as possible. Bold, bright and desirable; it’s all about your lips.

To create a stronger style, you could use a matching eye shadow, kohl and mascara, and balance your bold eyes and lips with defined cheekbones. Use colors like a neon green, red, pink, blue, orange, or an acid yellow on your lips against nude palettes.
