Vampire Vixens


Hey Beauts! The Twilight, Vampire Diaries and True Blood phenomenon have taken the world by storm! Who knew vampires could be so hot? Most surprisingly is the impact these vampire-themed television shows and movie have on the beauty industry! From catwalks to the club "vampy" makeup looks are what's in right now.

Be careful, a "vampy" inspired makeup look can quickly go from sexy to spooky, the idea is not to look like Elvira! Less is more in this case. Remember beauts, its all about romanticizing and intensifying your look through colors like classic reds and deep berries. For those looking for a little drama I suggest pairing a smokey eye with a dark lip. Not sure what colors to use for a smokey eye? Don't fret, try grey, plum, or black. You can easily take away from your look by adding blush and heavy foundation, the idea is to have a pale canvas. The focus is merely on your eyes and lips, you want to look mysterious, mischevious and alluring.

To complete your look it's essential you rock a dark matte or creme lipstick. It's no secret I'm a die-hard fan of a red lip! My fave is and always will be MAC's Ruby Woo. I also suggest Estee Lauder's "Ultimate Red" and Nars' "Fire Down Below". If red is not your forte, try MAC's "Night Violet" or Sephora's Lip Attitude in Splendid Violet. Starlets like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Scarlett Johansson have been known to hit the red carpet with vamped-out looks.

Ladies, a new shade of lipstick might be just what you need to liven up your love life! Makeup monotony is so 2009 and vampy lipcolors may spark and interest and have your man biting at your neck in no time. (*Que the Dracula music*)
