How To Wear It: Matching Polish and Lipstick

spacer

Matching your nail polish to your lip color used to be the biggest beauty faux pas in the book. Like, record-screeching, stare-inducing—wrong, wrong, wrong. But, the once-dorky trend is suddenly the coolest thing ever. Case in point: butter LONDON recently launched Lippy, a line of lip glosses in five shades that correspond with lacquer colors already in the collection. But you can’t just swipe on a purple polish and its coordinating lipstick all willy-nilly like. Makeup artists share how to get the bold beauty statement just right. 

Clothes Call “It’s best for when you’re trying to add some whimsy to your outfit or relax an otherwise serious look,” says celebrity makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor.

Sheer Thing “Orange is a huge trend for spring 2012, so you are seeing a lot of coral nail polishes. If you use that as a lipstick, it’s a really strong color – use a sheer color for lips which makes it a more wearable version.  Essentially you’re wearing the same tone, just playing with texture,” says Jasmine Dashtizad, national trainer of makeup artistry for Mirabella Beauty.

Welcome Matte ”Don’t  match anything too frosty on your lips and nails, it could look tacky and dated,” notes Celebrity Makeup Artist/LORAC Founder Carol Shaw.
