I’m so excited so have my blogging bestie Shell from A Courageous Beauty is taking over the page today. She is a gorgeous, witty, and smart gal who doles out some amazing advice on how to be brave with your beauty and fashion choices, as well as your life.
SUMMER LIP GUIDE WITH SMASHBOX…
Thank you Kait for letting me take over your blog today! I am so excited to be here and I feel incredibly honored to be a part of Make Mine Maroon. This summer’s hottest pastels are coming to you in one big, bold swatch for this hot season. Give your lips a fresh update with Smashbox. Smashbox lipsticks are luscious and creamy and will have you stealing the spotlight!
FAMOUS – A versatile nude lip color for this summer gives you the freedom to vamp up your eyeshadow and chose whatever color palette your heart desires.
PUBLICST – Reach for a vampy wine lip color that doesn’t have any brown tones to it. A brown tone will instantly wash out with your sweet summer tan.
POUT – Choose a cheerful swipe of POUT lipstick for a sweet summer romance and a fresh, elegant statement.
TABLOID – Experiment with purple lipstick. The best tip on how to wear purple lipstick is to really take your time choosing a color that works best for your skin tone. Ladies with warm skin tones will probably look better wearing a a deeper, darker purple with a red tone to it. While ladies with cool skin tones can take their pick amongst tons of cooler purples.
TALK – This is by far the hottest color of the year! Bright pink is calling out your name this season and this face-brightening hue looks gorgeous on any skin tone. Make sure to keep the rest of your makeup calm and neutral and keep your lips the center of attention.
GETFIRED – Red lips will never go out of style and they are just as hot in the summer as they are in the winter. Choose one with blue undertones for a softer look.
Kisser tip:
Make your lipstick last all day by applying it with a lip brush rather than straight out of the tube. This allows the color to really get into the lip and helps it stay longer.
Love Smashbox!!! Will have to check these shades out!!
I need to get one next time I’m at Sephora! Shell inspired me! Hugs, Kait

You should totally try it out, at least once. The worst is you can wipe it out if you don’t like it! Hugs, Kait
