A Femme Fatale Makeup Look That's Also Summery? Love This!

Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson has managed to do the impossible: Find a makeup look that's somehow both summery and femme fatale-ish. Let's go over how it all came together, shall we? Oh, you know you want to.

The intense smoky eye says "I might be bad news" but then that sweet pink lipstick says "Oh, but wait—I might also be made of happiness and light and puppies." I looooove this combo! It's the perfect balance. Sure, a red lip may have been a tad sexier, but it wouldn't have been so light and warm-weather-friendly. 

But there's a little something else going on here that's pretty genius, too. If you get in close-up on her eyes...

It looks like there might be a touch of navy eyeshadow mixed in the with the black eyeshadow on top—a very subtle way to soften the whole thing. So smart! 

So there you go: Black/navy eyes + coral-pink lip = A summery femme fatal look. I know I'll be trying this soon. Anyone else?
