Today's look had to be a vampy one; with Fall coming our way, it was only matter of time before I went back to the dark side (not that I ever left it really - vampy shades are my everything all year round, no matter the season). It's no news that I can't get enough of bold lipsticks, especially vampy shades. We all have that one magic trick up our sleeve that can make a really sh*tty day instantly a bit more bearable, whether it's a pretty dress, a pair of heels or a kick-ass lipstick. Nothing makes me feel more put together and powerful than a dark lip. People do stare, but that's expected with any statement you may make - and quite frankly, I do love the made-up and slightly unapproachable look a vampy lip arms you with. It screams a "don't-you-dare-talk-to-me" for you on those days you just cannot be bothered with small talks - or any talk.
Base: Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet, MAC Pro Longwear concealer, Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder in Diffused Light and Mood Exposure blush, Nars Laguna bronzer, MAC Soft and Gentle Eyes: Urban Decay Buck eyeshadow, MAC Soft and Gentle, Charlotte Tilbury mascara, Stila Kitten eyeshadow, Suqqu brow pen Lips: MAC Vino lip liner
I kept everything pretty simple with a wash of colour on the eyes and a natural-ish base, and then threw on some Vino lip liner which looks so good on its own I didn't even have the heart or need to add anything else on top. Bonus ? Lip liners last forever and are the handiest if you somehow manage to mess it up during the day and need to touch up. Easiest look e-ver for those days when you want to look decent but seriously couldn't be bothered to make an actual effort.
