There’s a serious bright color revolution happening right now, and electric makeup is just the latest evidence of the trend. MAC recently caused quite a stir with the release of its C Shock collection, which includes Blast O’ Blue lipstick, Going Bananas eyeshadow and She-Boom Lipgelee, and everyone’s raving about Eve’s C Shock look in her new “Tambourine” video:
The key to doing this look successfully is to choose hues that compliment your coloring. In short, if purple doesn’t flatter you when it’s in the form of a sweater, it’s not going to work on your face. But there are lots of great brights to choose from, so you will find your perfect match. If the look feels too wild for you, start slow–mix a bright eyeliner with subdued nudes or pair an over the top lip with a less shocking eye. But, all bets are off, if you’re ready for the trend–experiment with how bright your face can take, and just go for it. You only live once. Although, I caution against overdoing it if you’re also sporting the Shu Uemera Tokyo Lash Bar Collection.
It’s hard to beat MAC, but here are some other brights worth a buy:
Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow, $17
Sue Devitt Electric Sheen, $18

Im a makeup fanatic.
And makeup is a way to express yourself.
I think the BRIGHT colors are a breath of fresh air!
Actually, sometimes colors that don’t look good on you in a sweater can work really well on your face, if you limit the color to your eyes. For example, i look like death stew if i wear any purple tops, but, because i have green eyes, purple eye makeup looks really good. Just make sure that the rest of your makeup is done in neutral shades that complement both your skin tone and the bright color you chose.
