ScarletMadeline's Makeup Mastermind Looks At Sisters: Meg and Dia And The Veronicas

We judge people on the arrangements of their features and their style. Care to tell me that you don't? Well, I would say that you might not judge your friends on their beauty, but you certainly pick up a magazine cover or check out a musician on stage and say "damn that girl looks awful in that outfit" or "wow what was she thinking wearing that much eyeshadow". For the seventh round of ScarletMadeline's Makeup Mastermind I will be looking at musician sisters. First we will look at Meg & Dia and then we will look at The Veronicas.

Meg and Dia:


Sisters Meg and Dia are known for their beauty. They definitely can pull off the natural look well because of their pretty olive skin. If you are looking to rock this look, break out the brown eyeshadows and nude lip gloss. They are also wearing VERY subtle pink blush. It looks as if Meg has filled in her eyebrows and Dia has not. It definitely gives Meg a finished look which I like. They are also both wearing black eyeliner and Mascara which go great with their skin tone and dark hair. If you are blonde and trying to look natural, I suggest using dark brown mascara and eyeliner.



This Picture of Meg and Dia is definitely a little bit more spicy. I love that they added the red lipstick! We all know that the brown smokey eye look is not earth shattering and pretty much everyone can pull it off. Although, not everyone can pull off red lipstick. Red lipstick is very in right now and I suggest giving it a try (its all over the red carpet). Wear it to a concert, on a date, even to school! You will stand out and look awesome!

SMOKIN' RED LIPS TIPS:
1) Make sure you whiten your teeth before you wear red lipstick. Reds bring out the yellow in teeth and the last thing you want is to have your teeth ruin the whole look.
2) Use some red lip liner. Lipstick tends to bleed and then stain your skin, which is NOT hot. If you use lipliner it will keep the lipstick on your lips and not on your face.
3) Wear a sparkled or clear gloss over the top. Red lipstick can flake and lack moisture. If you add gloss it will add depth and shimmer to your once flat lip color.

The Veronicas:

Unlike Meg and Dia, The Veronicas are known for their outrageous 80's inspired makeup which definitely makes them stand out from the crowd. They are the perfect example of RED LIPS! They are also rockin' the classic cat eye (black liquid liner). It also looks like they have a pearly white eyeshadow all over their lid all the way up to their eyebrows. I know (because I'm pretty much albino) that if you don't wear blush, you can look washed out. The twins are definitely wearing blush in this pic, but the lighting from the shoot makes it look very light. Unfortunately I think it kind of makes them look washed out, but they still look extreme and hot.

Here is a picture of Madonna from 1985, and her makeup is EXACTLY like the veronicas. It is true that trends always come back full circle and here is the proof. The only difference I see is that Madonna looks like she's wearing a little bit of brown eyeshadow as well. I personally like The Veronicas version better.

Are their any similarities between your style and that of previous generations? GIMME THE SKINNY!
