So-easy summer lip trends snagged from the red carpet

Check these out, too...

  • Beauty Spy: Fresh faced and simple Ann Marie E.
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • 5 safest sunscreen picks of the season (and serious dos and don'ts)
  • The biggest OMG celeb moments of the week
We’re snagging perfect pout ideas from our fave red-carpet rockstars, Emma, Taylor and Selena. Summer’s all about easy beauty and perfect pairings. So whether you wanna go nude, hot pink or vibrant red, we’ve got your instant style guide. Read on!
 
First, some tips on how to prep your pout and apply your lip color!
Tip 1: Use a lip scrub or a mixture of sugar and olive oil to get rid of any flaky pieces on your pucker.
Tip 2: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!  Use a lip balm to make sure your lips don’t dry out.
Tip 3: When applying your lip color, use a lip brush to make sure you don’t end up with bright pink on your teeth and face!

 

Punchy pink

Emma Stone totally works the bright pink lip look by keeping the rest of her makeup neutral and toned down.  Use a lil’ blush to brighten up your cheeks so that your lip color doesn’t drain your complexion.  Next, sweep liquid liner on your upper lids to define your eyes.  You can even try adding wings to your outer corners for a cool, Hollywood look.  Emma perfectly balances out her bright lips with a fresh face and poppin’ eyes! 
 

Get the look:

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Fuschia Flash Matte, $19, sephora.com

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner, $9, asos.com

Rimmel Volume Flash the Max Mascara, $11, asos.com

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish, $29, nordstrom.com

 

Natural beauty

 

Selena’s got the natural look down, but adds some pop with colorful eyeliner.  Apply a nude lipstick and bronzer to get a glowy look.  Then, line your eyes with dark blue eyeliner to make your peepers pop!  Smudge it up a little bit, add some mascara and you’ll look glam and natural all at the same time.

 

Get the Look:

Summerston Lipstick in Nude, $15, jackwillis.com

Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Navy, $12, revlon.com 

MAC Extended Play Lash Mascara, $15, nordstrom.com

H&M Bronze Powder, $7, hm.com


Radiant in red

Taylor Swift always knows how to get the perfect red-carpet look, and recently she’s been workin’ ruby lips! The secret to red lips is to keep everything else simple, making your lips the focus of your makeup.  Add some blush/bronzer to keep your natural flush.  Taylor added heavy lashes and liner for big drama, but you can tone it down with just liner on your upper lash line and a swipe of mascara.  Taylor’s secret for sparkling eyes?  Shimmery white liner in her inner corners.  Try a soft pencil and lightly smudge to get glowy!

Smashbox ‘Be Legendary Lipstick’ in Grenadine, $19, nordstrom.com

An idea to anyone who wants this stuff but has a tight budget - try googling the products. Sometimes you can find it cheaper elsewhere - even on ebay! (You can also try this if you live in Canada like me and some companies ship only to the US)

LOVE the nude lipstick! But it's so expensive! Like nothing is under $7! Taylor's stuff is the most. Which is too bad cause I love her!

I dont wear make-up all that often, but i do have eyelines. The only thing is I have no idea how to put it on so that it looks nice. Are ere any articles on the site here of other sites that can help me with make-up tips? Thanks

 

Hey girlie!  There are tons of makeup clubs to help you and give you tips on makeup, so check those out in the "Fun Stuff" section!  I bet your mom can show you, too.  She's probably put eyeliner on before, and she can show you so your makeup looks great whenever you leave the house!  xoxo

how can i lose wieght and fat in my calves fast? Thanks! are their any exercises for that?

 

Hey girl! Try running, dancing, and walking to slim down those calves!  It'll take a little bit of time, just like any other exercise, but the results will be worth it! xoxo
