I really loved this look — a vibrant, pink-and-purple eye with a pop of fuchsia on the lips!

I like to keep it simple – totally matte and classic – bold black winged eyeliner, no eyeshadow, and a bright red lip – Red Square or Dragon Girl matte lip pencils by Nars are my favorite

As someone who wears a severe black smudged eye (with lots of liner and shadow) all day, every day and even when going to bed, this is my all time favourite combo. Although I’m not much of a bold lip fan, purely because together it makes me look a little like the Bride of Chucky.

Oh wow good question!! Mine is probably a cop-out lol, (as in not very bold!!) but I love a dark smokey brown eye and a coral lip, or sometimes a plummy lip, depending on the season. I don’t find I can go more bold/bold than that, because my features don’t pull it off!

good question. very much looking forward to answers

for me: a bright copper shadow with some texture in the with paired with bright red purple and intense peachy orange. I start with the copper on lid and into crease, lower eyelid pulling close but not exactly into direct eye area, I layer on top of that a shadow to smudge a thick ‘line’ around entire perimeter of eye in purple and blend into the copper shade. Brow bone in peach. Lined with purple gel eyeliner (#5 YSL Cherry black) I pair this with barely there cheeks and lips.

red is also big on my brights choice, but I always tend to pair with a muted neutral.

I really like a dark blue eyeliner/mascara and coral/orange lips/cheeks. I have an NC45 skintone and it’s my go to in the summertime.

That look is GORG….. like a new Temptalia branding photo, esp w/ the earrings 🙂

I love a black or navy smudged liner & gold or silver inner highlight & any bright lippie ( I don’t discriminate…orange, pink or red)

I am fairly adventurous and change my look all of the time. I love the classic black winged liner, thick black lash and red lip look. However, I love a colorful eye in greens and blues, with some heavy metal glitter topped off with a fresh coral lip.

I love a sultry smoky eye with a blue red lipstick. Sometimes I wear a neutral eye smoked out with purple e/s in the outer v and a vampy purple lip (Nars Train Blue) and sometimes I like a uber bronzed eye with an orange lip. I’m NC50 so the bronze/orange combo is actually neutral, especially in the summer.

I love a bold lip, my everyday lipsticks are MACs “Cyber” and “Viva Glam l”, I normally don’t wear much on my eyes , except for a bit of mascara and sometimes some winged liner. One of my favorite eyeshadow/lipstick combos, though, is a bronze smokey eye with a matte burgundy lipstick and some winged liner and falsies.

I love a dark, sparkly emerald green eye with deep but sheer purple lipstick.

Also, bright teal or chartreuse with black winged liner plus a bright coral lip

For strong fuchsia lips, I like pink or coral shadow looks best.

I love a bright pastel eye hinted with intense teal and turquoise, winged black liner And paired with a golden peachy/coral lip! The classic white eye/red lip is also a beauty! When I was younger I used to love making multiple purple hued peacock-like eyes with a spectrum of colors and liners to imitate lashes along with crystal embellishment and a nice plum neutral lip.. Ah those days were sooo fun! It was like my face was impervious to ANYTHING 😀 I wish my eyes were still like that!!! <333
