Runway Makeup: Bright Neon Lips at Magdalena Veleska MBFWA Spring/Summer 2012/13

Neons have been all over the place this year and at Magdalena Veleska, Napoleon Perdis created skin that is slightly sunburned with a striking acid lip.

“I liken this look to a futuristic Mermaid. She is slightly sunburned, but in this context, it works! Contours are curved and soft, not angular and hard. To get the sun-kissed look, we worked cream textures into the temples and forehead and then added powder to subtly mattify the skin. The brows are strong and polished. The acid yellow lip is a standout. We custom blended China Doll Gel Eyeliner in Alabaster with Loose Eye Dust in Proud Peacock to create the bespoke neon matte shade.” – Napoleon.




To recreate the look, try using OCC Lip Tars and setting with a matching powder shadow for maximum staying power. Would you dare to wear such a look?
