Happy National Lipstick Day! Another day, another holiday I would have never known about if it wasn’t for social media. So how am I celebrating? By learning how to make stop-motion videos with my main squeeze. I got a new desk with a pretty wood top that I’ve been eager to photograph. Add a handful of lipstick favorites, some creativity and voila, we made a little video (that’s over on my Instagram & embedded below).
I’m way more of a lipstick type of lady than a gloss girl. The color lasts, and stickiness isn’t even a thought.
So here are five colors from my makeup bag that I really, REALLY love, and I am fond of each for a different reason.
1. { Saturated-Staying Power } Maybelline New York Super-Stay 14-hr Lipstick in Eternal Rose
It’s bright but not too in your face. This cheerful pink is my #1 go to for whenever I’m on TV. It makes my smile pop, teeth look whiter, and the color stays in place for even three-hour-long show.
2. { Light Sheen } Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural N37
Looks good and feels good too! It’s an icy-coral hue that I tend to wear in the summer when I’m tan or winter when I’m more fair and pair with a light coral blush. I also like to swipe it on when my lips are dry, as it’s hydrating and so light and natural looking.
3. { Red For The Real World } Revlon Super-Lustrous Lipstick in Rich-Girl Red
It makes wearing red easy breezy for every day. Try this snappy-yet-subtle shade with jeans and a tee.
4. { Dark, But Not Too Dramatic } Susan Posnick ColorEssential in NYC
Wear at any time of the day, this particular shade has a hint of that wine look, but yet still looks very natural because it self-adjusts to give you color to complement your lips’ natural shade — so cool! It’s hydrating too, with vitamins A and E, antioxidant-rich pomegranate extract, and olive oil. That means soft lips and long-wear that won’t feather or bleed.
5. { Pretty & Pinky } Mally Beauty Lipstick in French Kiss
Gorgeous glossy sheen & a posie-pink hue make this one feel fresh and youthful, and naturally beautiful too.
