New year, bright and bold new you. This makeup look with natural eyes and orange-red lipstick is as effortless as it is head-turning. It’s easy to apply during the week when you’re short on time while being playful enough to rock for a night out.
If you’re looking for makeup to wear to work or school that still has plenty of personality, this style is a solid choice. Glittery gold eye shadow and liquid highlighter add a touch of shimmer, while tinted powder offers subtle contouring. The real cherry on top is the orange-red lipstick, which is bold without being brazen.
