Home
The key to styling vintage in your home is mixing the “old with the new.” Layer and incorporate your pieces in a personal way for a well-lived (and loved), truly elevated style. Use a vintage headboard paired with modern bedding or end tables. A 1920s nightstand with a contemporary mirror and lamp is always and eye-catching statement. When done properly, your room will feel perfectly curated and truly cultivated as if by an expert.

A red lip will always be the classic color. Finding the shade of red that works for your skin tone is the key. Depending on undertones and hair color you may need a more pinky or orange one.

Nude is totally up for interpretation. But the classic glossy nude lip has been popular in and out of beauty history. You want something opaque, glossy and neutral so that it goes with every makeup look. It has a total French girl vibe and is very enticing.
Pink
Much like red, pink is up for interpretation. It can be more purple more nude, more red or a bright bubblegum. A pink lip is always appealing and always super girly. It’s the perfect feminine shade that can be seen throughout time.
