Lip Service

I’m been loving the recent lipstick revival. I became disenchanted with lipgloss after one too many hair-in-the-lipgloss incidents, so I had just been sticking to Burt’s Bees. But after seeing all fun lipstick shades on the runways, I decided to give it a try. Here are my top three favorite lipstick trends.

1. Nudes: You really can’t go wrong with a great nude or neutral lipstick. It works for every skin tone, as long as you pick the right shade and make sure it has a little shine. (You don’t want to look like you’re dead.) I found two great examples, one a true nude color and the second a pretty neutral pink.

2. Bright fuschia: I love this bright shade in both regular and matte form. It’s a great way to make your makeup pop. Just make sure to keep the rest of your face neutral so it doesn’t compete with your statement lips.

3. Red matte: As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had been dying to try out this trend for a while. A red lip is such a classic, sexy look. The matte version comes off so polished, yet modern. I recommend the Sonia Kashuk version from Target, since it is an inexpensive way to experiment with this look.
