Bronze tones are underused for day and night. Often women with lighter skin tones sky away from bronze colors because they think it highlights their paleness. Embrace your skin tone and try warmer brown tones on your eyes.

Glossy eyes and lips are perfect for a cocktail party or dinner. Try adding a cream color to your eyes and blend it out, add illuminator at the end in the center of your upper and lower lids.

Frosted is the word that comes to mind with this look. Not 80s frosted, but cool pink tones with frosty highlighter. The strong brows and teased hair keep this look from looking too polished and it's perfect for everyday.

The bold lip was enough to catch our eye in this look, but it's the defined white wing that sealed the deal. If you're trying this look at home, try using tape or a paper stencil to keep your colors from blending.
