A lipstick for non-lipstick lovers!

I love a great bold lip, but for some reason I don't wear a bold lip often. I look at people that wear a bold lip and most of the time I like it. I don't like certain bold lip looks, and this is just a personal opinion. If you feel like you have a big nose, then don't wear a dark, bold lip. Look at this picture of Sarah Jessica Parker with a dark lip and a light lip and see how pronounced her nose looks when she has a darker lip.







See what I mean? I couldn't get a good up-close picture of her from the wedding on the movie, but you get the picture. So, if you feel like you have a bigger nose, or you don't want to draw attention to it-don't go for a dark lip. You can go for a shade or two darker than natural lip color but I wouldn't go crazy.
Now back on personal opinion for a darker lip, I don't really like a dark lip with a dark smoky eye. I know that's such an old school rule-either chose one, dark lip or dark eye. I usually don't go for a lot of makeup rules but I do get this one. I actually like a dark, bold lip only when most of my makeup has kind of run off and I don't look as made us. So if I'm going out after work or something and most of my makeup is still on and I don't have a lot of time to touch up, I will just throw on a bold lip and I think it looks good.





This is my opinion of the best way to rock a bold lip. See how they don't have much makeup on so they don't look too made up but they still look beautiful and put together? I love it!! I don't love this-



Kim is a BEAUTIFUL woman but I hope you can see how different a bold, dark lip can make you look. I just think you have to lighten up on certain areas when you do a really bold lip.
I love wearing a beautiful color lipstick but sometimes it's hard to get used wearing a bright lip so this lipstick will be a perfect intro to wearing lipstick:


This is Revlon's new Lip Butter. They are beautiful and feel great!!! I bold a really light color called Creme Brulee which is a beautiful, light every day color. It's something that looks really good and light and would be a great color to wear when you do want to wear a really bold, dark eye color. The other one I got was a little brighter and it was called Pink Truffle and I love it!! These two are awesome and I want to buy every single one of them! The next blog I'll write about will be a good lipstick for the bold lips, I'm loving the bright pink lip! Also-if you're still wanting to ease into a bold lip try out those Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stains, I love those too!!
