One of the biggest trends I’ve been seeing for the end of the year is matching metallic eyes with berry colored lips.  This is an amazing, amazing color combination and really works on every skin color.  What I love about this trend is that you can really play up either the eyes or the lips, depending on your mood.  If you want to play up the eyes, I would do a smokier eye look using metallic shades with a more neutral berry shade.  If I wanted to put the focus on lip color, I would just do a simple wash of one metallic color and use a more vibrant berry color.  If you don’t want to wear such a loud lipstick, metallic eyes paired with a nude or more neutral shade of lipstick is flattering on everyone, too! This is such a great color combination, and I’ve been seeing it everywhere–from the runway, to higher end cosmetic companies, to drugstore companies!

Product suggestions:
Eyes:
Urban Decay Naked Palette
Wet n’ Wild Baked, not Fried Palette (I’m going to review this palette for you guys this week, it’s pretty freaking incredible for the price!)

Lips:
MAC Lipstick in Craving (more opaque)
MAC Lipstick in Captive (more sheer)
Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
L’oreal Color Juice Lip Gloss in Berry Burst and Cherry on Top

Just wanted to let you guys know that I updated my portfolio!

People have been asking where I post my portfolio and the link is actually up at the top of the page where it says Portfolio. I normally just ramble about new beauty products and tips on my blog but if you want to see the work I’ve been doing, click here!

I hope you guys have a great week and I’ll be sure to post something up after I get this microbiology midterm over with.  GAAAAAH!
