Snag Their Style: Henar Vicente

 

Not only does style blogger Henar Vicente have fabulous hair, her wardrobe
is something to drool over as well! In this recent look, she layers three of my
favorite things perfectly: flannel, leather, and a graphic sweatshirt. Her bright
red pants add a punch of color and style, while her classic sock bun, simple court
shoes, and nude carry all keep the whole look wearable. XX.

Red Lips Done Right

Okay people. If you're going to wear a bold lip, please execute it correctly! How so you might ask? It's simple: invest in an angled brush! I have one from M.A.C. - which is also crucial for filling in my eyebrows (after washing the lipstick off of course) - but you can find inexpensive ones at drug stores. Bonus: your favorite red lipstick will more than likely last longer if you apply it with a brush. Oh and you won't look like BoBo The Clown with red smudges all over the side of your mouth from mistakes (:

1. Moisturize! A light, colorless lip balm will prime your lips for the color and make it easier to apply.

2. Take your brush and make a few swipes over your lipstick.

3. Just as you would draw on your eyeliner, just trace the outline of your lips to create the look of a thick lip liner. Kindergarten flashback: stay INSIDE the lines (:

4. Continue filling your lips with small brush strokes until you have a pout full of fabulous color.

5. If you'd like, you can add a clear gloss for some shine. This helps your color really stand out!

No more clown lips ladies (:

Have fun! XX.
