MAKEUP TRENDS: BOLD MATTE LIP COLOR

By LaFleur Magazine

Spring and summer 2019 makeup trends focus on clean, ethereal beauty punctuated by just a single messy or unusual element such as a popping shade of lip color. The overall vibe is subdued and restrained, with the exception of a wild, artistic pop of color. Techniques highlight clean lines that surprisingly complement the season’s spring fashion collections.

Matte fuchsia and ruby red lips, paired with soft makeup for a glowy, bare skin appearance, is a great look perfect for spring. At Givenchy, ready-to-wear looks were completed with the lip trend.

THE LOOK

For a day look that is on trend, combine matte lips in bright pink fuchsia or red, minimal to no eye makeup, and overall soft makeup. Add a touch of neutral to darker brown or bronzy toned eyeshadow for evening. 

Other reds take on a velvety semi-matte tint for an overall matte shade that is a neutral true-red. Options also include ultra bright red lips in semi-matte finish and winged eyeliner for a popping lip combo.

ACIEVE THE LOOK

To add a pop of red color and popping pink matte to your spring lips, follow the 5 tips below:

Tip #1 - Prepare the lip with a plumping and hydrating product such as Lancôme Advanced Génifique. This product also acts as a base to
help lip color adhere. To apply, pump a small amount on your palm to then tap on lips with your fingertips, or use a q-tip or applicator brush.

Tip #2 - Apply a lip liner to contour the lips. For a bold, summer lip opt for a bright, summery red such as… to compliment the season’s brighter reds, or x to coordinate with deeper red tones. 

Tip #3 - Apply the lipliner directly under the natural contour of the lip to add the look of slightly added volume.
Tip #4 - Once you’ve finished applying lip liner, it’s time for the lip color. Zara's spring collection offers vibrant fuchsia pink in matte, along with semi-matte vibrant red, and deeper red tones.

Tip #5 - Using a lip brush, dab your lipstick and then apply to the lips for a precise application and perfected finish.
