how tos:
the trick is to do a deep fuschia lip that is MATTE-no shine here-the color speaks for itself without blinding shine or shimmer. then use a blush that is a paler version of the lip but that still pops. don't be shy about putting it on and do it only on the apples of cheeks-this is a very "doll" looking face but it is just fantastic on. last add a swipe of green shadow right near the lash line. yes, green. i know what you are thinking bc i thought that too but i loved it on t. and i tried it on myself (who shys away from green shadow like a mo-fo) and it is awesome. keep the rest of your look simple- a swipe of defining mascara and a muted color palettte on your outfit and this looks fantastic. i felt charming all day long even though it was raining and my hair had frizzed to twice its size. i credit it all to the dynamic insight of t.

Smart birds think alike! Inspired by the hot pink lips at the DVF S'11 shows, I bought a magenta lipstick at Sephora yesterday and am wearing it today. I wasn't quite able to match the lighter pink (see here: http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2010/09/neon-hot-pink-lipstick.html), but it's pretty close, and I might keep my eyes out for the lighter lip pencil for spring. And it's so fun to wear matte, like you said, with hardly any other makeup, just a swipe of pale gold eyeshadow and a glowy foundation.
