  • The giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winner, Jenna! Before you go, check the home page for ongoing giveaways.

Red lips are just so…classic, aren’t they? They never go out of style. You can dress ’em up, maybe with your best business suit or ball gown, or dress ’em down with a bikini and high heels.

Yes, you read that right. 🙂

At the Ed Hardy show on Saturday in Miami, models tested the bikini/red lippie theory on the runways at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week: Swim.

Make Up For Ever sponsored the makeup for the shows (check out their Facebook page here), which wrap up today. Their artists turned up the heat on Miami with sooty smokey eyes created with the Aqua Cream shadows.

  6. I LOVE red lippies!
    My makeup today is all about the eyes though, I’m wearing a soft dark brown with a little bit of dark violet to make it smoked out! But maybe I’ll do a bold red lippie if I’m so fortunate to win this prize.

  7. Ahhh want this, only have one Makeup forever Shadow. #92. I found it through a youtube video and found no dupes so I just had to suck it up about the price and get it. I don’t regret it either! it’s my new favorite color. I would describe it as an electric purple. I really want to try the hd foundation too

  25. Hmmm… I don’t like the liner for the Ed Hardy look (especially not up close) but the lip is pretty cute!

    This morning, my Monday pick-me-up was using lots and lots of By Candlelight MSF, but when I got to work, it looked like I was trying way too hard, so I toned it down a bit. It looked totally cute, but maybe not appropriate for working in a R&D lab!

  35. I’ve only tried one Make Up For Ever product – their aqua eyes liner in black, but it’s great. It’s incredibly black and stays put all day long. Would love to try other MUFE products!

  37. I don’t have that many Make Up For Ever products, but I looove their eye shadows, especially the mattes. The only qualm I have about them is staining, but they go on so bright and vivid and blend out wonderfully that I don’t even mind!

  46. It’s Monday and I neeeed to win something to balance out this morning! My makeup today is from the Tarte flower Child palette. Its the pinky-orange look with Coral Gleam from Maybelline on my lips. I know, Maybelline right? But I picked it up in CVS when I was in Kansas City this weekend and it’s such a pretty pearly coral color. Not too pearly or orange though, just right. I’ve had it on since about 8:30 (it’s 11:45 now) and it’s still going strong through a bowl of Life cereal and a soda (breakfast of Champions!)

Love their aqua eyes too. Wish I could love their face primer but skin does not like all that silicone. I break out 🙁 Trying out Eve Pearls’ Moisturizing Primer atm 😀

  94. Awesome giveway… hmmm… bought some make-up yesterday, I’m loving bright lips right now because I used to be terrified of them (being NC45 I felt browns were the way to go) so I picked up my first Nars lipstick, Funny Face, it’s way more expensive than I ever go, but I adore the colour. I wore it around the apartment while in my PJs, just ’cause I can! I’m hoping to wear it out this week when I go out for dinner with the girls.

    Hope you have an awesome week!

My makeup has been really simple lately: tinted moisturizer, concealer, eyeliner, mascara (LashBlast I love youuuu!), Laguna bronzer, blush (I really love the combination of Stila Convertible Color in Gerbera and NARS Deep Throat), and a lipstick. I guess that’s not very minimalistic in general, bit it is for me 🙂

  170. I have to say was not much one for beauty blogs before I found yours. Too many of them seemed to be written by make up artists of those with a much larger budget them myself. what i love about your blog is how it covers everything. Sure I can’t afford many of the department store items you review but I love the comparisons to drugstore brands (like your recent reviews about nyx pallets) and the reviews of drugstore brands in general. thank you for remembering that not all of us can afford a large selection of make up or department store brands.

  314. Although I don’t own any make up forever cosmetics, I absolutely love the bright colors this line produces. Personally, I’m not crazy about the whole nude, natural make up look. Why bother paying so much money for make up products that simulate not wearing any make up at all. Just because make up is pigmented and bright does not mean it automatically will look garish when applied. I love bright colors because I think they liven up a person’s face if applied properly. And properly is an issue of personal taste. Especially with the economy as it is, and all the problems that go along with financial difficulties, I believe there’s nothing nicer than wearing beautiful, colorful make up that can’t help but put a smile on not only your face but all those you come into contact.Bright colors seem to brighten one’s mood just as a sunny day seems to put people in a better mood than a dreary one. I think everyone can wear these colors offered in this giveaway if not by itself, than by mixing the colors slightly to achieve the desired look. I would love to win these colors and I’d have the rest of the summer to play around with them trying to see just how many different looks I could achieve. What could be more fun for a make up junkie!!!!!

    My Monday makeup consisted of the usual primer, spot concealing with MAC Studio Finish Concealer set with MAC Blot Powder. For the eyes, I did a “Sand Meets Surf” with UD Maui Wowie on the inner 2/3, UD Painkiller on the outer 1/3, and UD Smog blended in between to give the sand – wet sand – surf look! 🙂

  407. You’d think the red one would look like carnival on more pale people, but I actually tried it out (and I’m about as pale as it gets) and it looked like love at first sight. Have-to-have-it.

    Reply

  409. My favourite MUFE product right now is the hot pink powder eyeshadow/blush I bought a couple of months ago — I’m on an extended no-buy because of some unexpected car repair expenses, and have been wearing that product on my cheeks (multi-tasking rocks!). I do have a Clarins cream blush/lipstick but haven’t used it much.

    MUFE is pulling out of all the Shoppers Drug Marts (which is where I got my shadows) so if I ever won the lottery one very fun thing to do would be to take the (several hours) drive to a Sephora and go nuts.

    Thank you for the giveaways!

  420. My favorite MUFE product would have to be the eyeshadows! They are sooo pigmented, bendable, and smooth!

    Next time I’m at Sephora I really want to check out the aqua creams, especially the ones that would look good on cheeks, lips, AND eyes!

  443. I love makeup forever! I am very fair-skinned with freckles, and have never ever found a foundation that worked for me- meaning one that could even me out without completely pasting over my freckles. I like my freckles, they’re cute, and without them, I’m ghostly white. The MUFE face and body foundation is amazing, and it looks so natural and light on me.

  455. Well, I admit I have never shelled out the $ to purchase any MUFE products – mainly because I am pretty much a remedial makeup newbie, I have not been able to justify it yet. But I have loved them from afar. So as for lunch: vegetarian hot and sour soup and lowfat cottage cheese. High octane, low budget. 🙂

  456. Today’s makeup consisted of UD PP, topped with Kiwi: NYX eyeshadow and Prowl:VS on the corner, highlighted with Gold:BobbiBrown. Top with MUFE aqua eyeliner and BadLash: Benefit. I don’t wear foundation just a touch of powder and nude/pink lipstick! I have only a handful of MUFE items and would just love to add these cute colors to my collection, wink, wink! MUFE always comes out with great products, and the these colors, luv.
