FOTD - Random Colours and Pink lips?

I'm not sure this is the greatest look I've ever worn, but I enjoyed wearing it non the less, mainly because I loved wearing the hot pink lips...

Pardon the blurred pics - I was dashing out for a coffee with the Mister before the shops closed, and he was barking "get your arse in gear" from downstairs at me...

On the face I'm wearing Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, with a little Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel (aka Bronze Universal) to contour and bronze, no blusher, and no powder. 

On lips I dabbed on Barry M lip paint in 144, a deep berry shade, as a sort of stain, which I dabbed and blended with fingers for a softer look, and I topped that off with Estee Lauder's Pink Kiss gloss. 

So far so good but then the eyes got a little bit random...
I fancied a play with my Illamasqua shadows, so I went ahead and grabbed a few... I applied the shade Justify, which is basically a little darker than the natural colour of my eyelids, all over the lids and towards the browbone. For some reason I then picked up a green shade (Yearn - a brightish Army green type colour) and blended that across the crease and into the outer corner. Then I used Furore pigment to highlight the browbone and the cheek. 

So the eyes looked fine, as did the lips and the rest of the face. I'm just not sure the eyes and the lips worked together...

Oh well, you live and learn...

the berry lips look great on you, and the fake tan is nice too!
Not the best combo eye/lip but hey, we've all been there and done that ;-)
