The Mod Look

Lauren’s makeup tip of the day: The Mod Look! This involves a great winged eyeliner and bright red lips.

• Practice makes perfect when it comes to winged eyeliner, so take the time to try different shapes, sizes (of the wing itself), thickness, and even color! Less adventurous ladies may want to consider starting off with a soft brown or taupe to ease into the look.
  
• Check out the wing lines above. Gently mapping out lines with a soft eyeliner before execution can assist in getting the lines you want. A little makeup remover on a Q-Tip can assist in cleaning up and smears or unwanted strokes.
  
• Apply your highlighter along the top of the cheekbone from above the hollow As far as lip color, BE DARING. Matte lips look great with the look, or even a little sheen. However, super gloss can look a little to costume-like. Try bright pinks and reds, and even a stunning bright matte violet can help perk up your fall!

Tip: On a style note, girly frills and frocks can help soften the edge of the mod look. Offset the hard lines with soft ones for a pretty, flirty effect.  Don’t be afraid to be playful, though!  I’ll toughen the girly look with a boxy blazer and knee-high riding boots. It gives a wink to femininity with a smirk of toughness.
Have fun and be inspired!!
