Be A Lady. Wear Some Lipstick.

My grandmother thinks it most unlady-like to leave the house with bare lips.
I disagree, but I have found a recent fascination with lipstick.
I've always been a burgundy girl, sticking to the more red tones of lipstick when I did opt to pick up a tube, but recently, I purchased L'oreal's Colour Riche Lipstick from CVS in "Spice" which is a deep reddish-brown shade, and I think I'm now a permanent convert.


Darker shades may not work for everyone however. As it is, I had to spend a great deal of time convincing myself that the slightly washed out look my new "Spice" lipstick gives me is just a new edgy style, but there ARE a lot of shades that will look good on any stylish Fashionista.


The classic red lip is a fashion staple. It suits everyone, regardless of skin tone. It also usually suits most outfits as well. If you like the traditional, this is the way to go. Other great colors that suit most girls are a deep maroon or a bright pink.


I have been noticing though, that for the spring 2010 season, color is in. I recommend that if you want to stand out, vary the shades of more than just your eyeshadow. Lipsticks are one of those beauty products that can stand alone. If you're rushing out of your room and don't have time to do a full face, a bold lip color can make all the difference between look drab all day and looking like a trendsetter.


Try this purple lipstick to stand out from the crowd, or thisdaring black shade to show your fearlessness. A nice deep green in guaranteed to get you some attention, but a  bright blue shade will definitely turn heads. Lastly, yellow lips will set you so far ahead of the fashion curve that people will stop you in the street to ask you where you got your spectacular shade.


Essentially, wearing lipstick is a personal choice. It took me years to get comfortable with the idea of color on my lips and I only very recently graduated from clear gloss. But no matter what your style or preference, there is likely a shade out there that will delight you and make you giggle with glee!


In any case, be a lady. Wear some lipstick.
