Joan Smalls is the cover girl of Vogue Australia’s Global Beauty issue. Not only does she look amazing in a mix of floral prints, soft pastels, and bold color choices, the makeup contrasts her wardrobe consistently with dark plum lips and nail color.
I love it! I’ll admit I usually steer clear of darker shades of lipstick and nail color for spring and summer. This shoot gives us a different take. Who says you can’t wear deep shade or vampy lip and still not look like spring time? I have a few favorites in mind, that will help you get this look! More of Joan Smalls photo shoot for Vogue Australia below.
Nails: Sexy Divide by Essie; Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI
Lips: Fine Wine by CoverGirl. If you’d like to gloss it up a bit, Shimmering Lipgloss in Midnight Violet by Bobbi Brown.
For eyes, use a violet shadow from your lash line to your crease. Apply a lavender shade from crease to brow bone to highnligt.
For Cheeks, Try a magenta shade of blush or to add a spark, lightly dust your cheek with a shade of red or coral and blend well.
Legs: Lancome’s Flash Bronzer, Tinted Self-Tanning Leg Gel
