Lipstick

[warrior queen]

Lip stains have been my go-to product. My favorites are Tarte and Benefit (which also doubles as a cheek color):

I have light pink lips and a small mouth. I find layering color 1) helps it to last throughout the day, and 2) gives lips dimension.

I like to buy lip pencils and stains in neutral and nude colors, then buy lipsticks and glosses with a little bit more of a color "pop" to them and apply them over the nude base. For everyday, I like to make a neutralish base lip, then build color on top of that. I think it looks more 3-D, shimmery, and natural. For going out at night or special occasions, I'll sometimes layer thin coats of lipstick for more coverage, which gives a more made-up "party" effect.

My lip makeup routine:

1) dab on a lip puffing agent like Lip Venom, let it sit while I do my foundation/blush/eyes

2) apply a neutral lip stain

3) line my lips with a neutral pencil, then filling in the top lip with pencil.

4) dab a bit of white shiny highlighter gloss (you can use Benefit's High Beam for this, or any white cream glossy-type stuff, or even a soft white pencil if it's blendable enough) on the center of my lower lip, and a wee bit on my Cupid's bow, blending lightly

5) OPTIONAL: if I want more coverage, I apply either a layer of neutral lipstick over the entire lip surface (including on top of the highlighter)

6) apply a colored gloss, usually one with a wee bit more color, over the lip pencil. If I applied lipstick, I usually only apply gloss in the center half of my lips.

That sounds great - but it's way too time-consuming for me!
A quick makeup routine suits my lifestyle better
Most days I take less than 5 mins, start to finish..... BB cream (factor 30), lip stain mascara, lip balm, 2nd coat of mascara, light dust of bronzer to highlight and I'm outthe door

I was SO hoping this thread was going in a different direction.

Burt's Bees.


It makes me feel pretty and stuff.

burt's bees has a tinted line that is fabulous. plus it has the SPF. i found the color lasts a very long time. i prefer a gloss/tinted balm, just because liner and lipstick has to be applied too frequently, and i am constantly chewing on my lips or fidgeting with something in my mouth.

Hahaha!
If it helps..... lipstains are great for blowjobs. The colour stays put instead of transferring in unsightly streaks down the cock!

I very rarely wear it, I don't like the feel of anything tacky on my lips.

I almost never wear makeup, Noor, and wearing lipstick makes me feel like I'm playing dress-up so I usually don't. On the occasions that I do, I have a few absolutely gorgeous colors from Chanel that I wear matte, with no liner or gloss, and they're very pretty.

That ia what it is for, playing dress up with clients, interviews stuff where people totally made up will feel more comfortable if I am wearing something.

It could be a Minnesota thing. It used to shock me at the university to see girls in full make up at an 8am grad school class! The amount of mascara alone would shock me awake.

Thanks!

Not exactly sure what lip puffing is but I have very full lips even at my advanced age so I probably would use it, besides it sounds like an allergy just waiting to happen for me.

Noor, currently the most allergic girl ever...

Yet? Are you planning on learning about it? Ah, so that's why the sudden interest in lipstick. No, now I'm pulling your leg.
