Date-Night-Makeup Idea: Mix Your Textures to Keep ‘Em Guessing Like Lily Aldridge

If there’s one thing the Victoria’s Secret Angels know, it’s hair. Aldridge’s subtle ombré is a refreshing change from overplayed dip-dye styles.

Building on last week’s Reese-Witherspoon-dewy-cheeks idea, today’s date-night makeup look on Lily Aldridge mixes glossy skin and matte lipstick to make for an interesting confusing effect that’ll basically knock your date off balance and make him want to offer you the entire world on a platter. You can decide later if you’d like to accept.

Notice how her cheeks reflect light but her lipstick doesn’t at all. This is what I’m talking about here. Matte lipstick is chic and seductive and retro glam, and dewy skin is warm and inviting and youthful. Mix these two things together, and, well, who could possibly resist?

World on a platter, coming right up.

Any of you going to try mixing your makeup textures like this?
