Dark Red Lips and Soft Champagne Eyes



Hello lovelies!
How is your weekend going so far? I hope you all are having a great one. In my case, I was invited to a Korean wedding held in church (my first Korean church wedding experience). It was a fun event but I ended up pigging out at the buffet reception and coming home in food coma situation.

Anyway, I just want to share the makeup look I created for that wedding event. I coordinated my makeup colors with my outfit, which was a red wine/burgundy dress with a black lace on the shoulders. With that being said, I decided to pick up my rarely worn burgundy lipstick. 

Just so you know, I rarely ever wear  bold lipsticks outside - most probably only on my makeup play day (when I'm at home and bored). I just don't feel like I can pull off  bold lips. I am more of a neutral/nude lippie gal. What about you?  Since it was a special event, I did try to get out of my comfort zone. I did end up loving my burgundy lips considering how well it coordinated my dress.

So much about the lippie, I decided to keep my eyes neutral and more subtle so as not to be too overpowering. I created a soft champagne brownish look. Read below to see the products I used and how I played with the colors.
