Neutral Eyes and Strawberry Red Lips

Here is a neutral eye look with strawberry lips using MAC's Strawberry Blonde lipglass and Beautiful Girl Eternal Beauty eyeshadow set. I've been really wary of wearing bold lip colors because I like wearing shadows and I feel like bold lips would clash with shadows, but as long as the eye colors are kept soft and neutral, I think it would work. I used my favorite lipstick, MAC Lightly Ripe from the Cult of Cherry collection, another winner collection in my opinion. I love Lightly Ripe so much that I got a backup off Ebay, because I just know I'd be using up my first tube, just like I had my favorite lipsticks in Rubia, Viva Glam V, and soon Noveau Frou. I love the Eternal Beauty shadow set, and they were pigmented even without the need of foiling. I also used MAC's 100 Strokes shadow from the Brunette, Blonde, Redhead collection and it is indeed the perfect crease color - it's a wonderful melting pot of burgundies, blacks, reds and browns.

So I checked out Beautiful Girl Minerals after liking your look, and decided to pick up Breaking Dawn (the very pretty deep rich brown), Lovestruck (a deep black cherry shade) and Daring (a metallic bluish-green) to try.

I think that Breaking Dawn will look good with my Urban Decay Sellout, and I think I may try Lovestruck with MAC Flip.
