What’s Your “Never Again” Lipstick Color?

April 20th, 2023 by Karen 7 Comments

(I can’t even remember what this blue color is called, but I think it’s from MAC?)

You know I hate to say “never,” because you just never (ha, ha!) know. You never know when you’ll find a $100 bill in a grocery store parking lot, just like you’ll never know what you’ll be into next week, next month or next year, but if I were to choose a color of lipstick that I don’t think I should ever wear again…I’d have to go with blue.

It’s been “on trend” over the past few years to wear cray-cray Hunger Games lip colors, and blue, while I think it can look cool in pictures, looks ridiculous on me.

I’m not hip enough for blue.

I cringe just thinking about it…

Also, there was the frosty purplish gray lipstick I used to wear circa 1997. It was SO terrible! I wore it with dark plum — almost black — lip liner, which, of course, was unblended.

And we can’t forget the dab of clear gloss in the middle of the bottom lip.

OMG! It was fashionable at the time, but now I realize that it looked pretty terrible. I hope it never comes back in style, but if it does, I may try it just for kicks…

Nah. Nuh-uh. NOPE. Never again.

How about you? Do you have a “never again” lipstick color? Is it a dark brown from the ’90s? A bright Barbie pink? A pastel matte beige? Please do tell.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I normally love MAC Powder Kiss lipsticks but I got one in a darkish brown (Turn to the Left) that made me look like an extra on “Walking Dead”.

    Specific color names I know look awful on me are MAC Velvet Teddy and Myth. Browns and beiges tend to be pretty bad on me.

    Pale, cool based pinks look awful on me. I’m thinking a color like MAC Angel or Creme Cup. As much as I wanted these colors to work, they don’t play well with my skin tone. I’m a brown eyed redhead, and those colors wash me out every time. It’s just too funny!!

    Kylie lip kit in Dolce K. It was way too pale on me and made me look sick, in a bad way! Her lip kits weren’t the greatest, but I had to try them!

    Any brown-based color, especially orange-brown. Looks ghastly on me, as I’m too cool-toned and fair-skinned for it to work.

    I would like to agree with Chelsea above…MAC Velvet Teddy was awful on me. I looked sick🤢. I also don’t like the really dark berries and burgundies I used to love years ago. I still like the colors, but not as dark.
