Are You Bold Enough For These 8 Liquid Lipsticks?
Jeffree Star Cosmetics

We all love the staying power and velvety matte finish of liquid lipsticks. Nudes are safe, comfortable, and a makeup staple across the board, so it's unsurprising that we tend to gravitate towards them. Are you bored of the same pinky-mauve tones? If so, here are some of the most unconventional liquid lipstick colors on the market:




Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

Ayesha - $20.00

“Ayesha” is a rich lavender from Kat Von D’s liquid lip collection. The formula is infused with ingredients like vitamin E and sunflower seed, which makes the application smooth, rich and creamy; it dries to a true matte finish. “Ayesha” is the perfect cool-toned alternative to a traditional pinky nude. All of Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks are vegan, cruelty free, and come in a variety of 28 striking colors.


Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip

Dr. M - $6.00

On the hunt for a daring statement lip with little cash to spare? Look no further, because Colourpop has arrived, and they’re not messing around. “Dr. M” retails for only $6.00. Green might seem intimidating to the makeup novice, but never fear—winged eyeliner is here! A crisp black wing isn’t going to take away from this deep, blackened forest green while still elongating and accentuating your eye shape. Wet n Wild MegaLiner Liquid Eyeliner in “Black” won’t break the bank and dries down to a matte finish. Make sure to exfoliate your lips before application for the best results.

OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick

Maui - $19.90

“Maui” is certainly a shade for the adventurous. However, that shouldn’t deter you from installing it as the newest (and edgiest) addition to your liquid lip collection. OFRA claims that lip liner is an unnecessary accoutrement to their one-step full color formula, regardless of whether or not you’re eating and drinking within the five-hour wear window. Neon colors, especially this bright, vivid turquoise, look even bolder with a gloss applied overtop, like the bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss Iridescent Topcoat in “Illusionist”. This holographic opal nude will preserve the integrity of the turquoise, and ads an kaleidoscopic effect to your lips for ultimate boldness.


NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream

Moscow - $6.00

Available in twelve stunning shades, the Soft Matte Lip Cream is buttery, durable, and feather-light. “Moscow” is a profound navy blue, and pulling it off is easier thank you think. In fact, when you want your lips to be the star of the show, less is more. Rather than a smoky eye, opt for nude colors from lid to brow bone and your favorite mascara. Feel free to slap on some lashes, too, like these Ardell Demi Wispies.


Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick

Thrill Seeker - $24.00

This bright red orange lipstick promises eight-hour wear and a light, comfortable formula that keeps the color looking fresh until the day’s end. Paraben-, sulfate-, and phthalate-free, Smashbox has delivered a beautiful array of 20 highly-pigmented products. A brilliant orange lip like “Thrill Seeker” pairs stunningly with blue liquid liner and a lot of celestial glow—for instance, Jeffree Star’s “Ice Cold” skin frost or the Shimmering Skin Perfector by BECCA in “Pearl”.


Tattoo Junkee Lip Paint

Whatever - $6.99

Two words: Glitter. Lips. Glitter lips. Tattoo Junkee was a hidden gem buried deep within the confines of Walmart until unearthed by YouTube beauty guru Tati Westbrook for her OMG series, where she tests unusual products for effectiveness. This deep burgundy shade can be worn on its own or as an accessory to the main event—glitter. “Whatever” is accompanied by a dazzling gold that sits on top of the lips without detracting from the color underneath. The wearer is instructed to apply the glitter with their fingertip before the product dries, so it acts as an adhesive.


Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks

Midnight - $20.00

Anastasia Beverly Hills' true jet black liquid lipstick in “Midnight” is part of their cruelty-free line of matte lipsticks. Summer may not be the season of the bold lip, but that doesn’t mean you can’t rock it anyway. There is nothing fiercer than an opaque black to complement any look. Dark colors require a tad more TLC to stay put throughout the day. In order to achieve maximum bad-assery, start with a lip liner to map out your canvas. Blot down the liquid lipstick, set it with a fine layer of translucent powder, and reapply a final coat to ensure that you’ll look like a boss until the night is over.


Jeffree Star Cosmetics

Drug Lord - $18.00

She’s unique. She’s exclusive. And, perhaps most vitally, she’s versatile. Jeffree Star is infamous within the makeup community for his unabashed vibrancy, and this shade of liquid lipstick is no exception. “Drug Lord” can be worn alone or double as a mixing medium to lighten the pigment in other lipsticks, thus enabling the wearer to create custom colors. It’s also perfect for detailed lip art, ombré, or even eyeliner. Talk about an adaptable product.




Even if these products aren’t your thing, the most effective way to rock a bold lip is, without a doubt, to own it. Be confident in your choices. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned cosmetic connoisseur or new to the makeup game—everyone should incorporate a funky lip color into their collection.

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.
