    Neutral eye + red lips [five minute test run]

    Hi all, haven't posted an FOTD for awhile. My uncle passed away recently, and my mom has been bugging me about what I'm going to wear to the funeral and stuff...I was thinking since the outfit is going to have virtually no color to it, I'd try a red lip.
