WHAT COLOR SHOULD YOUR LIPSTICK BE?
RED
If you woke up this morning feeling like it’s time to give your Plain-Jane-look some time off, replacing it with a bolder version of yourself –watch your back, Dita Von Teese, a new diva’s in town – if you’re planning to make that cutie you run into on a daily basis – gotcha, you little stocker – finally ask for your number or, if you run The Joker fan club – now, nobody’s judging you, who could resist those perfectly contoured lips – then RED LIPSTIK is just what the doctor prescribed. This little wonder holds the power of boosting your confidence faster than the magic potion that enhances the druids’ strength before fighting the Romans. What more can you ask for? Elegance, sensuality, tenacity – a woman’s deadliest weapons, wrapped in a tiny, fire-hued package, available at the beauty counter – a dream come true, right? TO BE USED WITH MODERATION.
BROWN
You just got a job in a man-dominated industry and trying to work your way to the top? Your closet looks like the one of a fourteen year old even though you’re officially in the mid-twenties – early thirties actually, but it will be our secret – you’re tired of being considered the oh-so-sweet girl-next-door and feel like playing the “bad-ass bitch” part for the day? A touch of brown lipstick is the answer to all your wishes. A color for the mature, sophisticated, woman who knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to get it without asking anyone’s permission. This lipstick screams “authority”, so don’t be surprised if people will actually do what you ask them to, whenever you’ll wear this power-shade.
NUDE
Having a lazy, lounge-wear kind of weekend? – Who doesn’t? – Planning a trip in the nature, where wearing makeup would look like climbing the mountain on high heels? Or just testing the efficiency of that “less is more” quote? There’s no reason to hurt your lips, though: a tiny bit of neutral lipstick will keep them hydrated, adding a subtle sheen to your look. Plus, it will leave the impression you’re honest and confident in your natural beauty – that’s always a plus, isn’t it?
HOT PINK
Trying to fill in Pretty Woman’s shoes – honestly, I don’t even remember what kind of lipstick she was wearing, but you get where I’m heading to – you’re an attention-vampire and the way you grab it is less important than the result – you’re sitting in the front row at the Fashion Week – these no-way-out situations require one thing: some seriously naughty, HOT PINK lips. Either you will be loved for your courage or detested from the same reasons, when wearing hot pink lipstick one thing is sure: you will never pass unnoticed.
BABY PINK
If you’re tired of bossing around – doesn’t look so fun after a while, does it? -, if you suddenly feel like ditching all those androgynous designs you stocked into your walk-in-closet over the years, replacing them with girly skirts and flower-printed dresses, if you feel like changing your hair color into a lighter shade and your hairstyle has transformed from straight and sleek into two French braids, there’s no need to call the doctor, there’s nothing wrong with you, just grab a baby pink lipstick and complete the look. Even the strongest women feel like getting in touch with their feminine, softer side from time to time and this innocent, almost-childish look will make guys fall for you in no time. Just enjoy the results!
CORAL
Feel like trying a next-season beauty trend but don’t have the time and skills to perfectly nail that braid you absolutely adored on the runway? The golden eye-shadow you just bought is a bit too glamorous for your ten o’clock meeting, plus you want to inject a dose of summer appeal to your gloomy autumn outfits – look no further than a coral lipstick, that will solve this tricky situation in no time. Made for the cheerful, outgoing gal, this lipstick-shade has party-mood written all over it.
BLACK
Another morning, another twenty minutes spent in the most useless way, waiting for the bus to take you to that nightmare full of cheerful people called OFFICE – wonder who approved socialization at work – and, worst of all, another annoying old lady chit-chatting with you in the station, ruining your plans of being left alone with your gloomy thoughts for a few more minutes – was it too much to ask for? – don’t know how you attract them like flies, your unfriendly face states it quite clear: NOT in the mood for socializing with strangers, and with no one else! Still, for you to be able to enjoy that depressive state you feel so comfortable into, probably another gloomy mind invented something called BLACK LIPSTICK. Though I never met someone who actually wore it except for the Halloween night when everything’s accepted, I can bet this black shade applied on your lips will keep away all those friendly small-talkers you’re trying so hard to keep distance from. One suggestion though: always carry a baby pink lipstick in your pocket – can’t imagine you have a purse – who knows when you’ll meet someone who you’ll actually wish to be approached by – then, your black lipstick will finally get where it belongs: IN THE TRASHCAN.
