Its been known for sometime now that one must choose between a bold lip and dramatic eye. You can have one or the other but both is not advisable. But why not?
My favourite look includes dramatic eyes and a dark red lip.
The secrete to a good red lip is finding that shade that suites your skin tone. I use Sin by Mac. Its a cool toned medium dark burgundy. After trying and trailing many (oh-so many) lipsticks I finally found my perfect match.
I don't wear lash extensions. On special occasions (pictured above) I glue on fake lashes. On the day to day I layer the lashes with a good 3 to 4 coats (if not more) of mascara. The full and feathery kind of mascara work better for layering. The volumising mascaras will leave clumps and are NOT suitable for layering. A lash curler works wonders too.
Is the eyes or lips rule an old wives tale? I'd say so.
