Lip Stick Kiss.

It seems like no outfit is complete without a bold statement lip these days. While lip-gloss used to be very popular, lipsticks are now taking over. A simple outfit can be transformed instantly with the right color lipstick.  Nowadays, deep colors are very trendy.  Maroon, fuchsia, plum and even black are hot sellers at stores like MAC and Sephora. While each person’s skin complexion is unique and not everyone can wear the same shade, going to a make up counter can be useful to finding the perfect hue . Lip liner can make all the difference too. If there is a shade that you are searching for but can’t seem to find, you can always blend a lipstick with a lip liner to achieve the look you are going for. Colors that are also very popular are violet, nude and cotton candy pink. Everywhere I go and every website I look at, I always see somebody wearing those colors. I personally like color blocking, so I wouldn’t play it safe and just wear something basic with a nude, violet or pink lipstick. Although there is nothing wrong with basics, having fun and exploring a wide array of colors to contrast with your lipstick would be great. For example, if you are wearing red blazer or dress, a violet or nude lipstick would look great. It can be boring to wear lipstick to match your outfit. Playing around and contrasting is always better!  

You may be surprised that drug stores carry some of the best lipsticks. Too often people believe that only expensive makeup at department stores are good. But brands like Revlon and Cover Girl are also very good. Walmart, Rite Aid and CVS carry some of the best products if you are on a budget. It can be a little out of the question to spend up to $40 on lipstick from brands like Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent. Mac, Sephora and Macys carry some inexpensive brands and some of the best colors also. If you are looking for a specific color that cannot be found at drug stores, then it would be good to visit a make up counter where you can actually play around and find the perfect color for you. All skin complexions can wear lipstick. If you have fair skin, colors like beige, pink, brown, plum and bright pink will be great for you. If you have more of an olive or brown skin, then colors like deep pink or fuchsia, and red are perfect against your skin. Those of you with dark skin should dabble with wine, mauve, and plum. There is a color for everybody!
