Wow! I love being wowed by something, and the new Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge shades from the Aqua Summer collection are so gorgeous! I fell hard for Coral and Baby Pink. They are so bright & summery and basically like a colour tattoo for your lips. Seriously – you cannot rub, wipe or smudge this stuff off without make up remover. It’s actually astounding. They aren’t slick or slippery on the lip, and they come with a clear gloss attached to add shine and a plump look to the lips. I find if you apply a thin layer and blend it (quickly!) with your finger, you can wear it on it’s own, like a stain, for more of a velvet satin finish. Coral is super flattering and I can see it working on any skin tone. I am not a fan of strong lip colours at all, but fell hard for these beauties. I go a little lighter on my eye make up when I wear a stronger lip. I hate feeling overly made up, and like to strike a pretty balance.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge is available at Sephora, and you can check here on their website for buying information.
