Want to take a walk on the wild side?

Ok, maybe not wild. How about a little edgy? I don't know if y'all have seen it or not, but there are several major cosmetic companies that have extremely dark (and in some cases black) lipstick. I know, I know. You're thinking about those weird goth kids you went to high school with. BUT! Keep an open mind. Here's an idea- swipe on a light layer of the dark/black lipstick and then layer a sweet pink on top. Now you have a wonderful deep berry shade that's a little edgier. You'll keep them guessing.

Quick tip for the day- when applying blush to the "apples of your cheeks" as is always taught, make sure to focus the darkest amount of color to the bottom half of the apple. Why? That helps create insta-cheekbones. Don't forget about applying a highlighter or something shimmery to the top of the cheekbone.
