Steal This Look – Hilary Duff’s Orange Sherbet Lips

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 10 May 2010 13:30:08 +0000

Nothing goes better with sun-kissed glowy skin than sherbet-y orange lips. Case in point: Hilary Duff’s recent red carpet look. She paired a dark, smoky eye with bronzed cheeks and a glossy-orange lip. It’s a subtler alternative to big red lips—and a great springtime option. Don’t you think?

Here’s what you need to get the look for yourself:

Motives Spring Trend – Candied-Violet Lips and Shadow

Iridescent purple eye shadow works to very flattering effect and is surprisingly versatile:

1. It can operate like a neutral. Paired with gray or chocolatey tones, it looks especially pretty.

2. You can use it as a sheer, vivid wash across your lids – in which case, you want to keep the rest of your makeup pure and minimalist.

3. Or, as shown on Michael Kors’ spring runway – you can define your eyes with navy liner (like Motives Gel Eyeliner in Rock Star), sweep a translucent lilac highlight (like Motives Pressed Eye Shadow in Dollface or Purple Haze) on the brow-bone, and finish with a cool, violet-tinged lip gloss.

How are you introducing color to your makeup this spring?

Spring beauty trend to wear now!

Dolce & Gabbana spun a wonderfully sexy, Southern-Italian vibe into their spring collection. In addition to the curvy suits and pretty lace dresses on their runway, we also fell for the models’ gorgeous ruby-red lipstick. Makeup guru Pat McGrath treated them to a mix of Dolce & Gabbana’s Devil, Dahlia and Ultra lip colors — sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue in the U.S. Worn with otherwise clean makeup and a hint of shimmer, the effect is incredibly elegant — and so pretty:
