Hi guys! I’ve decided to start posting different makeup looks each week. Today’s makeup pays homage to National Lipstick Day, which passed just a couple days ago. I decided to go for a bright, bold lip, a softly blended crease, fluttery lashes and flawless skin.

Instinctively I gravitate towards a smokey eye and a nude lip, so I’m glad I stepped outside of the box for this look. I remember back in the day wanting the MAC Viva Glam Nicki Minaj lipstick sooo bad, but when I bought it, the hue was so matte bright pinky-orange it was intimidating. Adding this over top of a different lipstick was the perfect way resurrect it.
