love the combination of a clean face and a neutral eye makeup with the bright and bold lips,
it makes a really chic look.

for face:

- remember to conceal all blemishes and dark circles to get the flawless face.

- it's more desirable to use a stippling brush to apply liquid foundation so as to achieve the natural look with an airbrush effect.

- apply highlighter on the T-zone, the area under the eyes, and the highest point on the cheek to make your facial features stand out.

- use beige or very light pink blush in order to stay with the bare face.

for eyes:
- i like that little wet and glossy look of the eyes which makes them pop even with minimal makeup,
  use beige eyeshadow with a little bit of shimmer would help to achieve that.
  for further emphasize of the glossy eyes, apply clear lip gloss or vaseline onto the eye lids.
- use white eyeliner to fill the waterline and highlight the inner eye corner to give greater effect.
- apply mascara.

for lips:
- better to stay with matte colour as bright + glossy lips can be too over, especially on full lips.
- as bright matte lipsticks tend to accentuate the flaws on your lips (such as lines and flakes),
  remember to exfoliate and apply lip balm before putting on the lip colour.
- use a lip brush instead of direct application of lipstick for utmost precision.
- to achieve the greatest effect of a loud pout, define the lip line with lip pencil before applying lipstick,
  use concealer or foundation to further define the shape of the lips.

other than bold colours, this peachy pink lips looks pretty nice for everyday makeup.
