Hey everyone! I’m back to my usual self and couldn’t wait to get this tutorial up for you guys.  The cover of Lucky Magazine‘s March issue is Ashley Greene, who is most known for playing Twilight‘s Alice Cullen and is also the global ambassador for mark. cosmetics.  For this photoshoot, she is made up entirely in mark., so I thought that I would recreate the look in this video using the same products that were used on her.  She is sporting a nude pink eye, warm cheeks, and a bright lip–a great look for Spring.  Wearing a bright hue on my lips used to be a little out of my comfort zone, but it is definitely a trend that is out there and doing this tutorial helped me feel more at ease.  If you are new to bold lips and feeling a little uneasy, be sure to keep the rest of the face and outfit fairly neutral.  This will make your lips stand out as your one pop of color!
