It’s the Fourth of July, babe!!!! 
Fireworks! Picnics! Barbecue!!! It’s a national holiday here in the U.S., and most peeps have the day off. If you’re headed to any fun outdoor festivities, don’t forget to wear sunscreen. 🙂
To celebrate ye olde red, white and blue, I’m wearing a red lip today, the new NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Starwoman, a warm matte red.
The Powermattes are a new permanent line of 20 lightweight, long-wearing liquid lipsticks coming out July 6th online and at NARS boutiques.
I love the look of warm reds with copper shades, so I paired it with an oldie but goodie called Creative Copper from the MAC Warm Neutrals Palette (which is also perm).
Coppery golden tan Creative Copper has low-level shimmer, and it looks GREAAAAT on lids with MAC Saddle Eye Shadow, which is what I’m doing here. It’s a quick, cool eye look that doesn’t need intense blending, and it goes with a bevvy of beautiful warm lip colors — reds, of course, as well as pinks, corals and oranges. You can also wear it with a warm nude lip, too.
OK, we’re outta here! El Hub and I are taking the baby to Children’s Fairyland in Oakland, a local amusement park for wee little ones. Fun should be had by all.
Have a wonderful holiday!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
That’s a gorgeous red lip!
Love this look, the eyes are so natural but beautiful!
I hope Connor Claire has fun at the park! I went to brunch with a friend and I’m going to go practice trapeze in an hour or so (some of the students from my studio are performing at a festival on Sunday, eek!). Other than that, pretty low-key day.
Such a great lip color! By the way: your hair looks amazing. Would you mind telling us how to get those pretty waves? Thank you and happy 4th!
Love that red lipstick! It looks great on you. It’s really hot here today so we’re spending a lazy day inside. Hope you have a fun day at the amusement park!
Have fun and enjoy the time with the family!
Love that red lipstick! Are the shadows in the warm neutral palette the same quality as the singles from MAC?
Hope Connor has a delightful time at Fairyland. Enjoy the day!
Hope you and your family have fun today Karen! Here we’re enjoying burgers on the grill and rosé all day 🙂
I love that shade of red – it looks great on you! 🙂
