A Marvelous Mouth

This summer, trade sweat running your mascara and endless nightly scrubbing to remove waterproof eyeliner in exchange for a bold statement lip. Nix the eye makeup to keep the look balanced and keep the face fresh and clean. Think dewy skin. One swipe of clear mascara on your lashes and brows and nothing more. This season's statement lips are powerful and electric. Red is always classic but if you're not the shy type opt for a red orange of even a day glo pink. If your pout is on the thin side, layer a gloss on top. If not, go for a matte look. This look works great for day and night. To dress the it up even more, add a light dusting of loose powder on your eyelids, temples and cheekbones. Lastly, don't forget to smile!
