Someone Teach Me About Lipstick!

6 comments ,

I rarely wear lipstick.  It seriously scares me.  In my family, we do things a little more au naturale. (Although I gotta give my sister props for being much braver than me with her hot red lips!)  I LOVE lipstick on other people. But on myself, anything darker than a pale peach and I feel like a clown in full makeup.  It startles me when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.  I feel like it gets all over the place.  And worst of all, what if it makes people look at me?!  Yikes.

Maybe I have bigger issues…

When it comes to knowing what looks good on me and what colors are trendy, I am clueless.  So I am experimenting.  Trying some lipsticks.  If I hate it, I can just wipe off, right?  Well, unless it’s the Revlon Colorstay Overtime.  That stuff doesn’t come off unless you have the appropriate tools – like oily makeup remover.  It literally stayed on for 16+ hours through food, drinks, sleep, goodnight kisses, etc.

Here’s the first round of experimentation with some fall colors…  I think I like them?  They sure are… red.

I need help!  I know for sure that I’m going to end up with about 10 lipsticks in a very similar color, as you could probably guess from the photo.  What are your favorite lipstick brands/colors?

  1. I like the one on the right, too.

    I never wear lipstick anymore…I feel like “Oh here comes Heather’s lips.” HAH. So I just stay with Bare Minerals Buxom because it’s EASY. 🙂

  2. I say go and try on everything. My favorite matte red that I know a lot of people wear, (it looks good on everyone), is Russian Red by MAC. I randomly got a Bobbi Brown and I love the texture. I’m going to the mall soon to get a plum for Fall. I don’t care anymore, let people look! I want to wear lipstick!

  3. #1 – you look hot! no joke
    #2 – i’ve only worn that red lipstick twice… once for testing it out and once on the cruise…. lol
    #3 – both colors suit you, the right seems just slightly more bold.
    #4 – i also have no clue about lipstick – or any other make up in general.
    #5 – ROCK IT GIRL! 🙂

    1. too funny! when we get together for Thanksgiving, let’s just wear the reddest lipstick we can find.
