4 Essential Lipstick Colors For The Edgy Girl
Art Blart

Ever open up your makeup bag and feel immediately underwhelmed by the lackluster lipstick options? With all the options in the world, a girl can sometimes be left feeling stumped when it comes to the possible lipstick choices. Lipstick is one of the most timeless makeup products. And lately, bold lips are all the rage.

Your 20s are all about experimenting with style, career, and love. Why not experiment with your lipstick too?

If you’re feeling the need to up your lip-wear game, here are the four lipsticks I believe every girl with an edge needs in her makeup bag.

1. Hot Pink

If you want to catch everyone's eye, and I do mean everyone, then a hot pink lipstick is just the pick for you. It's bright, annoying, and cute — all in one! It is a flirty girl color that will most definitely be brought up in conversation. Pair this fabulous color with a classic cat-eye for a classy yet bold look.


My Favorites: Too Faced's Melted in Fuchsia or Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick in Anarchy

2. Deep Red

Now it's time to come out of the woods and put down the boring lipsticks! Make like T-Swift and rock that red lip. I'm not talking about a soft wine — you gotta shake it off and go for the deep matte red. It exemplifies power, which is what you will feel when you are turning heads with this gorgeous rouge!


My Favorites: Urban Decay's Revolution lipstick in Matte Bad Blood or Smashbox's Be Legendary Matte Lipstick in Infrared

3. Electric Purple

This is for the quirky girly girls who just want to have fu-un. Which, secretly, is all of us. A bright purple is great for a party or even a shopping day. It shows that you have a don't-care-attitude, but care about your style.

My Favorites: Too Faced's Melted in Violet or Colour Pop's Ultra Matte Lip in Seesaw

4. Emerald Green

Edgy and elegant: the two personas you take on when you wear an emerald green lip. I will admit, it takes serious guts to wear this color on your lips, but hey, those who do, own it! It will be the topic of discussion — and hard to forget, I might add. Isn't that the point of it all, to be unforgettable? Why not be unforgettably gorgeous?

My Favorites: Colour Pop's Ultra Matte Lip in Dr. M or Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Deep Seafoam Green

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
