How To Wear Bold Makeup Colors Without Looking Like A Freak

Beauty is power, makeup is something that really enhances that; it’s a woman’s secret. – Charlotte Tilbury 

With technology, I can guarantee that you have at one point in time scrolled through social media, whether it’s Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook or even Snapchat and found looks that you find beautiful and want to try for yourself. It’s the age we live in and if you haven’t done that for a while, without a doubt, you will soon do it once again. Although social media can be toxic, I can see the good in it, too. It’s a way for the entire world to connect and keep up with trends from all cultures. We may go back in time to view the past, but it’s also a way for us to evolve and experiment with old fashion and makeup looks and most importantly, grow.

Bold Makeup has been around forever. Not only can it draw attention to some of our best features, but it’s a dramatic look that can be used for when you’re going out on a date with your significant other in the evening or parties with some of your best girl and guy friends. If you want to try a Bold Makeup look, I have all of the information here for you with the colors that will make sure that you don’t look like a freak!

First, let’s go over the bold colors

Before we begin with how to make a Bold Makeup look, let’s go over some of the colors. What are the hottest bold colors right now? 

One of the hottest bold colors is matte fuschia. I love this color because it’s a purple-pink shade that looks incredibly modern. It looks great on the lips when going for a Bold Makeup look.

Next is Tangerine. Is orange the new black? If you want it to be, then yes. It’s one of the sexiest colors in the fashion/makeup world right now that makes you look strong and bold, especially if you pair this color on your lips with some black eyeliner. 

Who have thought that chocolate would be a bold color? Not me, but it is. Think of a more caramel color when it comes to this color and add a shade of pink to the mix and you have yourself an untraditional look that is incredibly modern.

Other bold colors: 

Burgundy, Lavender, Forest Green, and warmer colors like red, yellow and blue! 

It’s all with the eyes, so try out a colored eyeliner 

One of the hottest makeup looks is with the use of colored eyeliner. If you want to try this Bold Makeup look, use a bright or rich colored eyeliner along your lower lash line and add a bold color to your upper eyelid. It’s that easy! Not sure what colored eyeliners to use? Don’t worry, read below as I have some of the best ones that even celebrities are using.

Use party makeup! 

Party makeup is slowly… making its way back into some of the hottest makeup trends and I can see why. If you truly want to grab everyone’s attention with your Bold Makeup look, add some shimmer or sparkle for a more dramatic (and colorful) look. You don’t have to go all out either and paint your entire face, just use one color and see how that turns out. If you like it, add another color. It’s important when applying your makeup that you feel comfortable. Let’s be real, the only person that you have to impress is YOU. As long as you love how you look and are comfortable, that is all that matters. 

You can never go wrong with a smokey eye 

Y0u have probably heard of the smokey eye and that’s because it has and will probably NEVER go out of style. What is the smokey eye you ask? A Bold Makeup look, it when dark eyeshadow is applied to the top and bottom eyelids and once your finished, it’s blended for a dramatic effect. Not only is it a sexy look, but it’s dramatic and mysterious, too. If you want this look, dark colors are a must. From black, brown, gray, navy and green. You can even use dark purples and reds, too if you really want to experiment.

Go classic with a winged liner 

If you’re just starting out with Bold Makeup looks and are not sure where to begin, then applying a winged liner is the perfect place to start. Winged liner around eyes has been around for ages and when you apply bold lips, you are bound to make a statement. This is a classic look that will never go out of style, and even I might have to try this look in the future because it’s stunning. They say little goes a long way and that is true for this look.

Put color on the lips! 

If you want to add to your Bold Makeup look, put color on your lips for a more dramatic effect. Putting makeup on your eyes does take time if you want to get the perfect look, but adding more Bold Makeup to your lips completes the look and makes you look put all together for whatever event or outting that you are about to go too. Bold colors on your lips also boosts your smile and make your teeth look whiter. Who wouldn’t want that? Check out below for some of the best Bold Makeup colors for your lips.
