a look: berry by day


Okay okay.. So my hiatus is over. I do apologize. But I am not going drone on with excuses, so lets just get into it. After a recent post on instagram featuring this look (which by the way if you don't follow me you should @gnombusiness or @iamalizarin), I decided to do a two installment post on berry lips. This look features the ever popular Rebel lipstick by MAC. Today's installment will be for a daytime look and a second installment will come in another post for a berry night look.


the eyes:

- First, apply an eye primer of your choice to your entire lid. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer)
-With a fluffy blending brush, sweep a transition color about one shade darker than your skin tone through your crease do give your eyes socket some definition. ( Loreal Hip Eyeshadow Duo in Shady)
-Next pack a shadow one shade lighter than your skin tone over your lid and brow bone. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow in 05 I Have a Headache)
-Tight-line your upper lash-line with a black water proof eyeliner. (Jane Cosmetics Water Resistant Eyeliner in Black)
-Line the inner 1/2 of your waterline with nude eyeliner pencil. (Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in Nude)
-For the outer half of the waterline, apply a dark brown eyeliner. (Jane Cosmetics Water Resistant Eyeliner in Brown)
-With a flat definer brush smudge a matte brown eye shadow along the outer 2/3  of your lower lash line. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow in Tryst)
-Then create a wing along your top lash-line with a black liquid eyeliner or eyeliner pen. (L'oreal Infallible Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner in Black)
-Lastly, coat your top and bottom lashes with mascara. (L'oreal Lashout Butterfly Mascara in Blackest Black & Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara)

                        

the lips:

-First line your lips with a dark berry lip liner. (Jordana Easy Liner for Lips in Cabernet)
-Then fill in the center of your lips with a berry toned lipstick. (MAC lipstick in Rebel)
-Lastly if needed clean up around the edges with your concealer or some powder on a angled brush.


There you have it, berry lips appropriate for the day-time or anytime and right on trend for the season. I hope you guys enjoy this look and try it out for yourself.
