The one about Lipstick

If you asked me to wear lipstick one year ago my response would be 'eww why would I wear that.' But i'm happy to say I have been converted to a lover of luscious coloured lips! To me personally, putting on a bit of lipstick can help to complete any outfit and bring out the colour in my face, especially if I have left my eyes naked (that's me all the time!).

I tend to go for the darker colours like plums, dark skinned tones and vibrant reds. I'm slowly adding some corals and pinks into my collection, but I like the way the dark colours (paired with jacket and combat boots) make me look like i'm ready to KICK BUTT!... Does anyone else ever feel like that? no just me? okay I'll keep going.

My favourite colour to wear at the moment is red. These are my go to products to making my lips a vibrant red colour that lasts a decent amount of time.

All these items can be found in almost any store that sells cosmetics 

Because I like matte lipsticks i've used Australis matte me 'lipstick mattifying base' followed by an essence lip liner in the shade femme fatale (10) and my actual lipstick is rimmel London no. 10, from the Kate Moss collection.

I find that the mattifying base coat makes the lipstick last longer by staining my lips. Because of that, my lips still have a bit of colour in them (instead of being completely naked) at the end of the night. As for the lip liner, I feel that it aids in bringing out the red colour and makes it more richer and fuller. Put all three of these products together and you have a LIP DREAM TEAM :D

And to give you a bit of an idea this is the final product

This is my blue steel

Like I said before I like wearing this type of lip with a nice jacket and one of my many button up blouses tucked in with a skirt. Put on a pair of boots and you're good to go!

and that's about it. 

Thanks for reading!
