Bold lips for spring.

Well bold lips have made their way on the runways for spring 2011. As if bold lips werent always for whenever the mood hits. I know I for one tend to do lots of bold lips for spring/summer, it just seems like the time to pull out my show orchid or morange lippie. Are you that bold lip girl? I know some of us tend to shy away from the bold lip thinking its too dramatic or over the top. What can I say there will always be naysayers. Here are some pics that i found from some top designers.

Ben Nye Magicake aqua paint palette
















I acquired this palette a couple months ago and though it would be great to use as a base for some of my matte shadows and pigments.
These aqua paints are water activated shadows that pack a punch of color. They can be applied thinly or more opaque depending on what u desire. They come in a metal tin much like the lumiere shadows which most are use to seeing.
The colors are as follows: top row: cloud white, bright red, azure blue, sunshine yellow, kelly green, licorice black bottom row: cosmic blue, lime green, royal purple, hot pink, bright orange, honey brown. All colors are matte.
I think it is a great value for the price. Can also be used for face and body painting. Check out bennye.com or ebay for purchase.
