How To Get Bold Lips Using EyeShadow

Its no news that I’m a huge fan of red lips but of recent I’ve also been digging bold lips in unexpected colours. You might have noticed this from the blue lips I was spotting in my last post and also from some of my Instagram pictures.
It has been a good conversation starter as I’ve had a lot of people walk up to me to compliment the lip colour and ask where they can get it from. It is always so much fun watching their expressions change to a surprised one when I mention that it is actually an Eyeshadow : House of Tara’s Hajia Gambo Sawaba palette to be precise.
My “Shadow-Lippies”. Haha

I got this House of Tara eyeshadow palette as part of the contents of my goodie bag from the style me Africa website launch event. I honestly didn’t have a clue what to do with it because well, y’all know I’m a “makeup illiterate” but who says No to free stuff ehn? So i added it to my make up bag hoping to use it when I finally learn to apply make up.
I didn’t have to wait for that long though! These babies came in handy not too long after when I was playing around with it and realized I could actually use it on my lips!
Later learnt that this tip was mentioned at the event but guess who was missing in action then?
Anyways, I decided to share four of my favourite lip colours from my “Shadow-Lippies”  and the combinations that led to it.
{I really should have labelled the individual shadows with numbers as that’s what I’ll be using to describe them , forgive me but start counting from top to bottom}

1. Purple

2. Light Blue/Teal?

3. Dark Blue

4. Grey

That’s what the face wipe I used looked like at the end of everything. Lola
