Green lipstick doesn’t exactly scream “wearable” but this shade by Fenty Beauty is a surprisingly pretty twist on spring makeup. With so much attention on the lips, I kept the rest of the look very  minimal. It’s not quite natural but the subtle washes of bronzer under the cheekbones and in the crease of the eyelids create definition without adding more color.  Alex’s brows are brushed into place with a transparent brow gel because dark brows plus green lips starts to feel a bit 1950’s monster movie… which is cool but maybe not so much for daytime.

This look was a total accident… Alex mentioned that she was headed to a club after our evening beauty shoot so I offered to do her makeup. We were talking about long nights spent on the dancefloor and then suddenly Bowie popped up on my playlist. The makeup translation of David Bowie and late night dance clubs is obviously glam rock purple, fuchsia, icy pink and of course, a heavy dose of glitter. I loved the final look so much that I got out my camera and snapped it!

Note: I applied the blush in a classic 70’s disco pattern (a swooping “C” shape from the cheekbones up to the temples) and then patted the Lemonhead Spacejam Luxe in Lady Mercury over it. If you haven’t tried Lemonhead’s glitter pastes, I highly recommend them! They don’t fall out like regular glitter and stay in place for hours. Plus you can use them sheer or build up to an opaque glitter finish.
