Brighter lip shades with NEW Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick

Avon's celebrity make-up artist Liz Pugh tells us how to create a bold Summer look using NEW Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick

An instant and easy way to change your makeup look is by changing your lip colour. Summer is a great time to switch to a brighter lip shade as a pop of colour will always work well on bronzed skin tones. It’s always easier to wear a nude for the daytime, to look effortlessly groomed, but I also embrace colour for daytime and evenings, nothing looks greater.

AVON Lipstick's Bold Colours

Wearing a brighter colour means you can keep eye makeup to a minimum, so the emphasis is all on the lip, it will look great with a sweep of bronzer for daytime and nighttime. Just add an extra coat of mascara for evenings and you are ready. When wearing a brighter lipstick shade, if you want to wear any eye shadow, stick to natural shades.

Why not dip into the trend and try a brighter stain on the lips for daytime, it is so fresh. Just press a little colour on with your fingers, then for evening pump up the colour straight from the bullet.

A word of warning when wearing brighter colours on the lips, make sure if you are going to wear a blusher it falls into the same colour family so it doesn’t colour clash, I know colour clashing is all on the runways with clothes but strictly a no-no with makeup!

Examples of AVON's Bold Lip Colours

Some of my favourite summer shades are from the brand new Ultra Colour Bold collection:

-          Bare Impact

-          Bright Nectar

-          Pink Punch

And a very modern shade we have been seeing lots of is Power Plum, which looks amazing on tanned glowing skin, less gothic than it can look in the winter months against a paler skin tone, it is surprisingly fresh on sun kissed skin.

I try not to worry too much on whether a particular shade suits a skin tone, when I do a show 24 girls in the line-up will all wear exactly the same shade, I am not a big fan on rules, they are meant to be broken! But for those who do like to be a little more conservative, and there is nothing wrong with that! The general rule is that bluer tones in lipsticks will look better with cooler skin tones, the ones with blue undertones and warmer tones suit more yellow warmer skin tones.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF WATERFALL NAILS?

Have you heard of waterfall nails? 

AVON Waterfall Nails

So on trend right now. 

Here's how to get the look:

AVON Speed Dry Nail Polish & Nail Tool

You will need – A base colour of your choice, 3-4 nail polishes in a similar shade range, Avon Nail Art Tool, a clear top coat and acetone/nail polish remover (to clean your brush).

1. Start by applying your base coat and leave to fully dry. Here I decided to go with Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Purely Peach as it's such a lovely nude shade and a great base to show off waterfall nail art

2. Next you want to take the brush end of the Avon Nail Art Tool and your first nail polish colour and paint 3-4 staggered lines onto your nails from the cuticle. I decided to start with the boldest colour first, Avon Speed Dry+ in Strawberry.

3. Take your second nail polish colour and again paint on 2-3 lines of varying lengths. Making sure you've cleaned your brush first! Here I used Avon Speed Dry+ in Mambo Melon.

4. With your final nail polish colour fill in any gaps, again with lines of varying lengths. Here I went for Avon Speed Dry+ in ASAP Pink, which is in fact my favourite pink from the Speed Dry range.

5. Before your nails are fully dry, finish with a clear top coat to blend everything together a bit and to give a glossy finish!

As you can see from my other nail swatches so many colour combinations work with this simple nail art. Also why not add in a shimmer/glitter nail polish for a special occasion or for a more dramatic effect. Base coats used from left to right – Avon Speed Dry+ Mambo Melon, Avon Nailwear Pro+ Barely There and Avon Speed Dry+ Turquoise Pop.

WANT BLOOMING LOVELY NAILS THIS WEEK?

Want blooming lovely nails this week? 

Get the cute floral tutorial here: 

Summer is fast approaching and lots of bright flowers have blossomed,

so in true summer spirit we have created a floral nail art, 

which definitely isn’t short of colour!

AVON Gel Nails - Floral Design

All you will need are a selection of different nail varnish shades,

a fine nail brush and a dotting tool. The Avon Nail Art Tool

is perfect for this as it has a fine brush on one end and a dotting

tool on the other. If you like the look of this nail art, keep reading

to find out exactly how we created it…

AVON Gel Nails - Floral Design

Step-By-Step Tutorial:

AVON Gel Nails - Floral Look Tutorial

Step 1: Begin by applying your base nail varnish and

leave this to dry completely. Here I used Avon Speed Dry+

in the shade ‘Sprightly Mint’.

Step 2: Now its time to create the base of the petals.

Using the fine brush end of the Avon Nail Art Tool

take each different shade in turn and create the petals emerging

from the corners of the nail. Here we used Avon Speed Dry+

in ‘Fast Time Teal’ & ‘Mambo Melon’, Nailwear Pro+ in ‘Lemon Sugar’,

Gel Finish Nail Enamel in ‘Parfait Pink’ and

Nail Experts French Manicure in ‘White’.

Step 3: Next, again using the fine nail brush, create some texture in the centre

of the petals by going in with a different shade. Here I used Nailwear Pro+

in ‘Sea Breeze’ & ‘Lemon Sugar’ and also Gel Finish Nail Enamel in ‘Parfait Pink’

and Nail Experts French Manicure in ‘White’.

Step 4: In order to enhance the centre of each flower, create small dots

towards the egde using the dotting end of the Avon Nail Art Tool. 

Here I used Nailwear Pro+ in ‘Tweed’.

Step 5: Finally once all nail are dry paint a layer of top coat on each nail. 

This will help to seal in your nail art design and prevent your nail from chipping. 

I used Nailwear Pro+ in ‘Clear’.

And there you have your bright summer floral design!

THE FUTURE OF EYESHADOW

We've seen the future of eyeshadow... And it's FABULOUS. 

Introducing ExtraLasting Eyeshadow Inks, available in Avon Brochure 11. 

These chic, long-lasting shades have been thoroughly road-tested on girly nights out and long days in the office...

Whether it be on a night out with the girls, or a long day at work,

we like our eye make up to last as long as we do, 

These smudge-proof, sweat-proof and tear-proof, ExtraLasting Eyeshadow Inks 

from Avon are perfect. 

They come in a range of colours available to suit every style, look and complement every eye colour.

AVON ExtraLasting Eyeshadow Ink Pots

There's a whole range of shades and colours to choose from that

 cover night time or daily, everyday looks. 

We really like that this cream eyeshadow doesn't feel thick or heavy on our eyes.

Application is smooth and glides on easily and colour is buildable. 

Most importantly it really does last all day!  

We like to apply with our fingers, warming the product up slightly first, 

We love how it dries so quick and smooth, leaving a flawless crease free finish on our eyes.

AVON Extralasting Eyeshadow Pot

One of our favourite looks is to apply 'Forever Bronze' all over the lid,

then add a touch of 'Golden Gleam' in the inner corner of our eye,

to brighten and add a bit of sparkle. 

If you want a more smoky-eyed bronze look then lightly line your top lash line with 'Charcoal Ink'.

We absolutely adore 'Forever Bronze'... it really makes blue eyes stand out.

It's nice to know your eye make up will stay put,

and you don't have to worry about it fading, especially now that summer is here,

you can enjoy the heat without worrying about your make-up!
