5 Reasons to Love Bright Lipstick

January 18th, 2022 by Karen 5 Comments

Too cute

1. It does so much makeup heavy lifting.

I swear, I can get away with wearing so much less makeup when I’m wearing a bright lip. I can feel completely put together with just a bright lipstick, mascara and concealer.

2. Bright lipstick shouts however you’re feeling out loud to the world.

A smile is that much bigger and brighter with a bright lip.

3. It’s a classic.

Red lipstick never goes out of style!

4. The long-wearing matte formulas have improved so much.

They last through water, coffee, cat kisses…

5. They’re just so fun to collect!

You can never have enough. 🙂

    Karen, what are your thoughts on hot pink lipstick versus red lipstick?? Could you choose? Would you?

    I think it was Joan Collins who said that pink lipstick is more forgiving than red lipstick after a certain age — thoughts?

      I like both for different reasons. I feel like pink is more playful and red is more professional/classic. For work calls I tend to favor red. For my non-work life then it’s pink or coral. You could always find one shade of each that you completely love and be set!

    What’s that saying? “Fortune favors the bold…lipped”?! Ha, but honestly, a can’t-miss-it lipstick color makes me feel better, maybe even DO better! #facts
