Feeling a little bored lately? Maybe a bit dull? In need of a pick-me-up? Here’s a free idea—well, free until your Amazon shopping cart is full of products and you hit that Place Order button. Either way, find the wildest lip color you can think of. Put it on. Call it a “Bold Lip Look.” It’s pretty much guaranteed to pull you out of whatever rut you find yourself in. Here’s the trick: “Don’t be afraid of the color and you’ll look fierce!” That’s what Georgi Sandev, makeup artist behind model Alisha Nesvat’s face here says. “It is a statement lip,” he tells ITG. “You notice it right away and it’s the center of attention.” Anything but boring, in other words.

What’s great about this look in particular is its ability to walk the line between freshness and glamour. Georgi says it’s because “A clean makeup look is not necessarily a no-makeup look—rather, it’s a precise look, with soft accents to bring out your best features. In this case, that means a pop of color on clean, beautiful skin. The focus is on the lip.” Sounds easy and cool. Why don't you try it out right this very second?
