MY LIP AND I



                                      It’s not always all about the eyes!

Sometimes, it’s about the pout. Lipsticks can be the perfect way to add an extra punch of color to your everyday look. Especially with these hot summer months coming up, when temperatures sky rocket the makeup literally seems to melt off your face, that fancy eye makeup just won’t do. Lipsticks are quick and easy to throw on, instantly brightening your complexion creating an effortless yet “put together” look. Not to mention, with the right lipstick shade it can actually intensify the color of your eyes and help slim your face.
Here are some of our favorite bright and beautiful lipstick shades for spring and summer.

Innocent

innocent-swatch
This shade is true to its’ name.  Innocent is a subtle pale peach shade great for an everyday look, whether you’re at the office or on a day trip with friends this shade is ideal. Pair it with a flowy sundress and sandals, or your favorite blazer and jeans. The ideal color for light/medium skin, using this on darker skin tones may look too ashen on the lips.


Make It Last

Lipsticks are fairly discreet and easily thrown in your purse for touch ups, but let’s be honest, even that can be a hassle.  You may not have the time to re-apply your lipstick when you need to nor should you have to.  Here’s a great tutorial on how to make your lipstick last so you will have one less thing to worry about! This same technique can be used for any shade as long as you have a matching lip liner and lipstick. Softer shades can also use a little gloss overtop if you like. :-)
Don’t let yourself be intimidated by color, try something new and let your lips be the center of attention this summer. A great way to try some color is with our “Lipstick Adventure Pack. This has 5 of our brightest and  boldest shades that are just waiting for you to test them out.
