Vintage Red Lips
Now, a true 20's flapper-style look was a little more edgy than the previous woman at the time. She was young, maybe 19, and loved to be adventurous and a little bit scandalous. She cut off her hair, wore felt caps and loose shift dresses, and LOVED makeup! Lots of black eyeliner, and bright red lips. She was one fierce woman! To translate that into today's world, it's actually very simple with flawless skin, neutral eyes, and a strong red lip. I used MAC Studio Sculpt foundation in NC30 with the Revlon colorstay eyeshadow quad in Copper Spice. If you have never tried eyeshadows, this is THE shadow I recommend you start out with. It has ever shade you need from highlighter to lid to contour and you can wear it from sheer to smokey. I love it and it is still one I grab every once in a while for a nice work-appropriate look. Anyway, getting back on topic, what really makes the vintage look is the false eyelashes, winged black liner, filled-in brows, and strong red lips. I used MAC fluidline in blacktrack for the eyeliner and NYX Round Lipstick in Snow White (my perfect red shade!) You'll have to forgive my pictures since I took them after the shoot and my makeup wasn't as perfect as when I applied, but you'll get the idea. ![]() A close-up of the shadow. ![]() This shows the color slightly more accurately. ![]() Look how white the red lipstick makes my teeth look! ![]() And a few more in natural light. ![]() ![]() ![]() As for my outfit, the fringe top is from Urban Outfitters and the pencil skirt and hair flower are from Forever 21. ![]() ![]() Pics from the photoshoot next time! :) Comments: you are so adorable! unfortunately, my lips are too pigmented/large for red lipstick; i wish i had smaller bow shaped lips like yours! :) Comments: I love the lipstick shade! I was thinking about buying that too during the NYX sale. Comments: You're so adorable and really gorgeous! This look suits you really well actually; I love those red lips! Comments: you are beautifuL! love the red lips on you, and i loove the outfit! Comments: Gorgeous look with flawless execution! Love it! :D Comments: Red looks so pretty on you! I haven't found my red yet. Comments: Hi Jen, just wondering if your nails break and become yellowish after using nail polish. I used to be crazy abt polish but after a year being crazy abt it, my nails breaks and cracks easily. I stop using the polish for a couple months and it helps with reducing the yellowish colour but not the cracking and breaking. It has been 2 years after i stop using nail polish but my nails still breaking : ( Do you use any treatment for your nails? Are they like mine? (ie: breaking averytime I wash my hair) Comments: it looks really good on you! red doesn't fit on my lips :S Comments: Can't wait for the pictures from the photoshoot :) AND you look gorgeous, although this look cannot suit everyone it looks amazing on you. Comments: Gorgeous lady-like look! Comments: i always had a the belief that red lips didn't go well with our asian faces but you really made it work! you look great! Comments: Hi Jen, Comments: I know people may not agree with me but, I always thought that you looked so much like Kiera Knightley. I think it's because you both have very similar face structure/shape. Comments: The vintage look is really nice :) I'm not Comments: hii Comments: oOoOo! i've been MIA~!! hehe but i LOVEE this look that you did! only you could pull off the bold, red lips like that! i wish i could...well, i've never tried red lipstick >:P hehe but every girl should have at least 1 red lipstick in her makeup collection, so maybe I should look into getting one--just in case! ;P hehe why are you sooo gorgeous!!
