When it comes to makeup, I prefer some pop of color on my lips & cheeks. Peach/coral tones are pleasant & fresh shades that can easily blend with your makeup. Glam up your spring/summer days with these beautiful coral shades of lipsticks, eyeshadows & blushes. So when choosing the texture for lipstick, I always prefer glossy ones for that perfect spring day. Here for this dewy coral makeup look, I have used the shade velvet teddy from mac which is a brown coral shade & for that glossy texture, I added a coat of my favorite Dior lip gloss. Of course, you can always go for a liquid one for that dewy look when it comes to blushes. But here, I have used a coral-colored powder blush from Anastasia Beverly hills.

So when talking about eye makeup, nothing can beat the beauty of a winged liner. So a dark deep-colored liner with a peachy gradient eyeshadow is a perfect duo for this coral/peachy makeup look.

Good makeup and hair indeed enhance your overall look. Everybody has a particular makeup style, but all of us love to highlight eyes and lips. I’m not a makeup person and don’t have an extensive collection of makeup products like clothes, but the products I own are minimal and well-kept. So talking about makeup, the one trend I’m obsessed over is winged eyeliner. So for a perfectly defined winged liner, we need the right tools and products. Here I am going to share some of my tried and tested products for that perfect winged liner look & smokey eyes

1. Stila waterproof liner

Let’s talk about an eyeliner look that is so popular & super trendy at the same time, called a winged liner. This look can quickly sink with traditional as well as modern attires. So a few years back, I was looking for an excellent Gel liner for that perfect-looking winged eyes, and this Stila waterproof liner was one of the most reviewed gel liners online, so I decided to give it a try. I fell in love with this product after my first use itself. It gives you that perfect-looking winged liner that lasts a whole day, and it is also waterproof. It doesn’t smudge at all. Moreover, the tip of the applicator is thin so that we can draw the wing more quickly and smoothly. You can easily use it to outline your lid as well.

I didn’t mention the eyeshadow palette used in this look, but I will probably talk about it in another post.

2. Kat von D Anti-Precision Pencil Eyeliner for smokey eyes

I didn’t attempt to do smokey eyes ever because I always thought it was complicated eye makeup & only professionals can do it. But recently, for clicking some pictures for this post, I made all the effort to do a simple smokey eye look(thanks to some brilliant YouTubers who did it so perfectly).so  I  purchased this product called Kat von D Anti-Precision Pencil Eyeliner in the shade Trooper black from Ulta beauty. I was a little skeptical about it as there were no testers available at that time. However, when I tried it, I love it so far. It does the job without putting in so much effort.

As you can see, I have used it on my lid and also on my waterline. So whether you want it intense black color or just a pale shade of black, this liner is all you want for that purpose.

3. M·A·C Technakohl Eyeliner

A dark color pencil liner on the waterline brightens your eye and gives it more depth. Smudge it with fingers or using a brush is a great technique to make your eyes look bigger and beautiful. We all love to experiment with different colors & textures of liners. But I prefer using a pencil liner & used it to line the bottom line & then smudge it using an angled brush. Also, using a white liner is an excellent idea for those of you who have smaller eyes. I have tried many liners from different brands, and for the past three years, I got to stick with one product, i.e., M·A·C Technakohl Eyeliner. This liner is my everyday eye makeup essential which is easy to use and long-lasting.

4. Too faced better than sex mascara for dramatic lashes

I know mascara is a vast topic to discuss since it’s everyone’s favorite, including me. Defined eyebrows and dramatic lashes complement each other. I always think mascara has the magical power of making our eyes looks fuller & big-looking. It easily opens up our eyes and makes us look more attractive. We all love black and intense lashes, so we need good mascara to achieve that great eyes. I used to drench my lashes with lots of coats of mascaras until I feel satisfied. But later found out that the trick is not with the number of swipes; it’s all about the quality of the product and how well you are applying the strokes.

So here, I will share one of my favorite mascara (even though I have more than one favorite), which helps me enhance my eyes in the first swipe itself. It’s called too faced better than sex mascara. It’s a perfect mascara that will give you thicker, longer & the most dramatic lashes. It comes in a sexy pink package which is pretty easy to hold and work with it. The wand of this mascara is hourglass-shaped so that the product can reach up to every hair on your eyes and open it up. I usually use two coats of products for that long lashes & finish it off with a third coat of my urban decay perversion mascara for more intense and black lashes. And finally, if you want more depth to your eyes, use a good black eye pencil on the bottom line, smudge it a little bit & you are all set to step out.

Lipsticks are one makeup product that all girls must have in their makeup collection. Even if you are someone like me who doesn’t use that much makeup every day, we can’t step out without that tint of color on our lips. Many lipstick shades and finishes are available, but nudes, pinks, and reds are famous. I remember putting on the same glossy brown shade of lipsticks for every outfit & event when we were in college, but now I understand how important it is to select the right shade of lipstick for your skin tone & to match it with your outfit. Lipsticks can ruin or beautify your entire look based on what shade you are going with an outfit. So my lipstick collection is all about reds and nudes as it universal shade for any day, occasion, and attire. Also, it matches my skin tone. There is nothing sexier than wearing red lipstick to an event. It’s my go-to shade for any nighttime party or as part of a summer daytime outfit. It’s all about your personal preferences. If you don’t like bolder lip shades, you can always opt for muted red tone lipsticks.so if you are not feeling to put so much effort into dressing up but can’t avoid a party,  then all you need to do is swipe your favorite red lipstick on your lips, and just a little mascara on your eyes can instantly make you glamourous.

I’m so excited to share my favorite red lipsticks here because these are the perfect shades I have finally found out with hours of online research. We all know that there are so many shades & tones of red; not every red lipstick looks the same so finding the right shade of red lipstick is a big challenge, so I hope you can find a red shade that matches your style reading through this post.

1. MAC, Relentlessly red

if you don’t like that deep red color on your lips, this color is for you. It’s a coral red matte color lipstick that holds up through your favorite meal. This red lipstick is a part of their retro matte collection. So this lipstick may be a  little bit drying on your lips due to its matte feature. Don’t skip wearing lip balms before wearing this gorgeous shade of lip color. This shade goes well with a Little black dress or a bodycon dress. Finally, try to minimize your eye makeup and let your lips tell the story.

2. NYX, angel

This particular shade is almost similar to relentlessly red. It looks deeper in person but brighter in photos. Nyx, angel shade is a coral pinky tone red shade that has a creamy satin finish. I like this lipstick because it’s not drying and flaky. I had worn it so many times when I was soo obsessed with coral shades. It is pigmented and glides smoothly on your lips after the first swipe itself. It’s an affordable option when compared to other red lipsticks.

3. Anastasia Beverly hills-American doll

This shade from Anastasia Beverly hills gives you that iconic bold red lips in just one swipe. It is highly pigmented and long-lasting with a matte formula. It is an intense color, so if you want to highlight & emphasize your lips, this is your perfect shade. As the lip color itself is too loud, try to keep your make-up subtle and low-key. It’s a completely matte formula so that it may dry out your lips. I have used lip balm underneath it. It doesn’t give your lips a moisturized feeling like other liquid lipsticks, but it lasts for a more extended period.

4. MAC -Stay Curious

I am in love with this beautiful muted red shade from the mac powder kiss range of lipsticks. It is a combination of matte as well as moisture kind of lipstick. It brightens up your face instantly and gives it a more natural and fresh look. So Stay curious from mac is my favorite red shade of lipstick that goes well with any outfit in my wardrobe.

So here in pictures, due to lighting, it turned out to be a deeper red shade, but it’s a brighter muted red shade in person.

5. loreal Paris infallible pro-matte gloss nude allude

The brand loreal always comes up with some fantastic products for the face and especially for lips. I’m addicted to liquid lipstick because of its long-lasting feature, and it glides on smoothly & evenly onto our lips without so much hustle. So I got this LOreal infallible pro-matte gloss liquid lipstick in the shade nude allude &  it perfectly matches my skin tone. If you like bold lips, you will get disappointed because it’s not an actual red shade. It’s a combination of brown and maroon. So it goes well with any outfit. This pro-matte range of liquid lipsticks is a creamy-satin finish texture rather than matte, so it won’t make your lips dry at all. I don’t usually use a lip balm underneath this lipstick. The applicator of this lipstick is unique & remarkable for giving your lips shape & dimension. So overall, it is a stunning liquid lipstick with lots of good features.
