Are you looking for a way to change up your look? Before you go and chop off your hair or buy a whole new closet of clothes, try this easy and inexpensive way to instantly get a new look! All you really need is a POC; pop of color!
A POC can be used on your eyes or lips. For this, you can play around with different colors, but I suggest using colors that compliment your eyes.
BLUE EYES: Light pinks, oranges, and rose colored shadows will contrast beautifully with your cool-toned eyes!
BROWN EYES: Brown eyes can get away with almost any POC! But for guaranteed success, stick with deep blues, greens, and purples!
GREEN/HAZEL EYES: POC’s are very difficult to pull off with your unique coloring, but not impossible. For your green eyes, try bright metallic colors, to bring out the little flecks in your iris! If you have olive toned skin, a sunny gold color is your perfect POC! And if you aren’t into metallics, you can go with a rich lavender color.
Maybe, you aren’t into the whole “color on you eyes” thing; I get it, neutrals are way easier! But, don’t give up hope yet! There’s still another way to add your POC by using a bright lip color! I know that it’s so easy to throw on a messy layer of clear Chapstick, trust me I’ve been there! But instead of running right out the door, take one small minute to apply a POC to instantly brighten your mood (and lips of course!) Take your favorite fun-colored lippie and put that sucker on your lips! Then, take some skin-tone matching concealer and with a foundation brush, clean up the edge of your lips, for a more polished look!
TCM’s TIP: Steer clear of POC’s on your cheeks- you don’t want to look like a clown!
Alright babes! Good luck with your POC’s! Make sure to tweet us your look with a POC at @TeenChicMagg and we will be sure to retweet and favorite!
