A quote I live by is "if you give a woman the right lipstick, she can conquer the world."
Finding the right shade is not a task for the weak, but when you love lipstick as much as I have for the last 4 years, you've tried a lot, loved a lot, and have quite a collection. So here are the top seven must-haves for your makeup collection!
1. Tarte- Lip Paint in Birthday Suit
I just got this as a birthday surprise at Sephora and it is AMAZING!!! 10/10. Everyone needs this shade in their life. Here is the problem, I can't find it anywhere! So if anyone knows where I can buy a lifetime supply of this shade slide into my dm's.
2. MAC- Persistence
A great brown, but not too dark. It adds the perfect amount of color, but not too grandma-like since it is brown.
3. Bare Minerals- Risk it All
I seriously LOVE this shade. It is so bold and so fun. A lot of people mistake it for red, but that makes my eyeball twitch. It's hot pink. Super hot stuff.
4. Bare Minerals- Never Say Never
If you ever need a Barbie look, this is the shade for you. Honestly, you need to be a little tan to really rock this color. It's not that great for pale skin.
5. MAC- In the Spirit
BLACK IS BACK. You can rock it, I believe in you. Bold bold bold, good good good.
6. MAC- Lady Danger
Even the name is great! This shade is a bright red, and I would also not recommend this color for people with pale skin. It's super pretty and summery!
7. MAC- Faux
This is apparently one of their best sellers! This shade is a lot like the Tarte Birthday Suit, it is a soft pink that is the perfect addition to your lips!
8. MAC- Ruby Woo
Alright, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this red. It is so perfect. Basically, if you need a red lipstick buy this one!
9. MAC- MAC Red
Basic, because if you ask a MAC representative to help you find a shade of red, they will tell you this color. I am a big time red lover & if the Ruby Woo is too dark for you, this is a softer easier red.
10. MAC- Rebel
I think the title says enough, be rebellious and buy this shade. It's like a purple, but I think it looks so cool.
So that's the magical list of lipsticks you must have! Go treat yourself to some of these fun shades. Also grab a bottle of the MAC Prime & Prep for your lips, because you don't want them to chap with all these great lipsticks you will be trying!
P.S. Dropping $18 on lipstick is so worth it!!! Go treat yourself to some of these fun shades!
