“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” - Gywneth Paltrow

Hello all of you beautiful people! Is everyone having a good weekend?

I was out yesterday doing a spot of shopping and was feeling raaather adventurous and wore my favourite red lipstick out during the day time - such a rebel, I know.
My favourite red lipstick of all time everrr is Nars' Jungle Red (I reviewed it here - link). It is just such a flattering shade of red and does most of the work so I could keep the rest of my face pretty 'clean'!

FACE: Nars Sheer Glow foundation, Benefit Boi-ing concealer, Nars Laguna bronzer
EYES: Chanel Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadow in Emerveille (only one layer of it - it's a lot more vibrant the more layers you apply), Covergirl LashBlast mascara
LIPS: Nars lipstick in Jungle Red

I've decided to be a lot more daring with my make-up looks this year and actually use all of the makeup I own and not think "oh I'll use this for a really special occasion, there's no point wasting it on a shopping trip" - I mean WHO KNOWS I may well meet my future husband on a shopping trip and it always pays off to be prepared! 

(Obviously potentially meeting a future husband isn't the priority here...or what I meant at all. It was just an example...ahem you know...)

So I hope you liked it - I will be doing a proper face of the day featuring Chanel Emerveille soon! Do you guys wear your bright colours out during the day? What do you think of red lipstick for daytime - trying too hard or confident?

Love Emma xo
