"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, & pull yourself together"
-Elizabeth Taylor
Along with my newfound obsession with lipstick, comes this new favorite saying. Lipstick was a terrifying thing to me, & I envied those that could pull it off. Pictured is my first night as a red- lipped lady, (aside from the numerous dance recitals wearing me to wear stage makeup, but that doesn't count). Heck, that stage makeup is probably what made me believe I couldn't pull off red lips in the first place! The picture obviously didn't need me, the rich red was more than enough to steal the show. Apparently, lipstick has now become "my thing". If I don't wear it people question why. I guess you never truly know about some things until you try! Red lips are timeless, as the beautiful Marilyn Monroe showed us years ago. Color is something to experiment with, not to avoid. Find your skin's perfect shades, and embrace beauty.
RED [.Love. Lust.] LIPS.
Love it! Red's about the only color lipstick I ever look okay in...do you know of a good brand that stays well? Lipstick smudges on glasses are the reason I don't wear it much, haha.
ReplyDeleteThe one I had on in the picture above is Maybelline Super Stay 24 hour color. It's a double sided lip stain and top coat and it stays on great! I have it in red, pink and purple :)
