Did you see the Pantone 2011 color of the year? Well, do check out “Honeysuckle” when you get the chance. The indication is clear: Spring of 2011 will be noticeably brighter than the Spring of 2010.
I’ve heard it said that if you wore a trend the first time it was hot, you’re too old to wear it the second time ’round. Well, forget that! Who cares about age? I loved the bright devil-may-care shades of the 80s, and am thrilled they’re back front and center.
In this blogger’s humble opinion, the key to embracing a trend the second time around is moderation. In my early ‘teens, I would have worn the entire MAC Stylishly Yours collection from eyelids to lips. As a 30-something, “moments” of these bright neon shades are more appropriate.
My #1 pick from Stylishly Yours for those of us who have already lived the 80s the first (and best) time around is the amazing bouquet-bright lipstick collection. Pictured in this post is Neon Orange, a super-opaque shade that is not only bright, but sophisticated and luxe at the same time. If the traditional red lip is the obvious choice for women in search of instant sex appeal, the wicked step-sister to that shade is MAC Neon Orange. Applied, the lipstick is a super-sizzling bright orange. Blot just a tad, and you look like you’re the kind of person who summers on the French Riviera. Classy and on-trend at the same time!
Retail price is $14.50 per lipstick.
