Lana Del Rey’s “Bikini So Teeny”

Pastel nails, a colorful lip and a cat: I certainly had an intuition that this would be my August '14 beauty philosophy, but, like everything else, it wasn’t until Lana gave it her stamp of approval that I felt abundantly sure of this fact. Pamela Cochrane was on makeup for the August Rolling Stone cover, and tells us she used a combo of MAC Cherry lip pencil and Chantecaille Poppy Lip Stick for the lips. The nails are Essie's Bikini So Teeny. As for the cat, I’m going to take a wild guess here and say it's by…Pets On Lex? Either way, it looks good on her.
