I am pretty much covered for super bright lipstick — it’s pretty much the only thing I wear. My go to lipstick brands are NARS and MAC. But for lower end brands, Revlon and Australis can’t be beat. Here are some examples (some kind of grainy webcam shots and older shots, sorry about that) of my bright lipsticks.

MAC So Chaude

As for nail polish, I’ve only somewhat recently started to get into it. I used to bite my nails almost down to the quick. It was painful and rather icky. I’m glad I stopped! Now, I’m very into neon brights, especially with clashing outfit colours. The catwalks had pretty shades of blue, which is my favourite colour. I’d like to attempt the Missoni manicure, but I think I need more practice and a steadier hand.

The best brands aren’t necessarily the most expensive. My best shades are from BYS and Ulta 3 and these come in at under $5 a bottle. If you want to spend a little more, Butter London is a great formula and has some fabulous shades, and Orly is also a staple when I can get it for cheap.

I am not someone who wears a great deal of eye shadow, so I’m not well versed on this orange and brown trend, but once again, my staples for lots of differently coloured eyeshadows have to go to MAC, with the close runner up of Make Up Forever — great consistency, even without primer. For cheaper brands, again, Australis is a winner for colour variety and staying power.

I want to see some examples of people rocking this trend! I don’t think I’ll be wearing it very much as I’m not too confident on my eye make up skills, but show me yours if you’ve got them.
