Less is more! I don't wear makeup if I don't have to.

When I'm doing my own makeup, I just stick to a bit of black liner, some blush and a nude glossy lip.

With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean.

When you a darker brunette and have pale skin like I do, it can wash you out a bit, so learning to contour is really helpful. I think you can be a bit more bold with eye makeup to define your eyes, and the same with lip colors - you can go for dark wine colors, which I love.

Makeup is about balance. When the eye makes a statement, the lips should be quiet.

I envy those who can wear red lipstick or any bold lip colour, really. My top lip just doesn't seem to take colour - there's nothing I can do to change that, so I usually just use a nude on the bottom lip.

I'm never afraid of using bold colors or glitter or a stronger lipstick.

Don't save bold lashes and red lips for nighttime - do it in the day!

If I have on a bright red lip, you'll rarely ever catch me with eyeshadow on. It's one or the other for me - pick one feature for the day and really focus on that.

I love a bright lip with a neutral eye. It's an easy, wearable look that gives brightness to your face without looking over-the-top.
