Admit it – you own way too many neutral eyeshadow palettes stashed in your makeup collection and have on hand all the brown eyeshadows you’ll ever need, all in varying hues. Well, we’re challenging you to veer away from that earth tone makeup rut and whip out the most vibrant eye products you have hidden away to bring your statement eye game on.
Makeup reflects self-expression and there is no reason for you to shy away from killer bold shades that may even earn you an extra compliment or two. As a matter of fact, colourful eye looks can be made daytime appropriate too, and the Lipstiq team is showing you how to do that step by step. Trust us, it’s not that intimidating!
