In the past few weeks, I’ve rediscovered my love for bright lipstick. For awhile there I was all dark-eyes-and-neutral-lips, but something about this look feels so much…easier. Which is sort of the opposite of how it looks – I can’t tell you how many people have seen me wearing this lipstick and said something along the lines of “I could never wear that”, but: very much not true. Bold lipstick seems tough to wear, but it’s really just all about finding the right shade – you’ll know it when you find it, because it will instantly wake up your face – and then going for it.
Speaking of the right shade, this is mine: Elizabeth Arden Pink Vibrations. I’ve never really worn hot pink lipstick before, but a makeup artist gave me a sample of this a few weeks ago, and now I’m obsessed – it just immediately makes me feel brighter.
P.S. Here’s how I’ve been wearing it: with pale gold eyeshadow, just a little liquid eyeliner, and a lot of mascara. Nothing too fussy; the lipstick is look enough, I think.
