'tis the season of the bold lip, and whilst I'm practically terrified of anything brighter than a muted pink, I figured I should at least try to get into the spirit of things. In the interest of dedicating myself to the cause, I've managed to find three lipsticks that even I can wear, that don't wash me out, make me look like a kid playing with someones makeup, or make me look like a clown. Basically, the bold lip options for bold lip noobs like me.
The Red: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella. A gorgeous red that sits just on the darker side of pillarbox, making it a little less in your face. The formula of these is great, matte but not drying and super long lasting, and I find the pencil shape more precise with bold colour than your average lipstick. This is a total winner for me.
The Berry: Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick in 107. A gorgeous, plummy berry tone with just enough pink to it to not be terrifying. I never thought I could pull a shade like this off, but I have to say, I'm a fan of this, it makes me feel like a REAL LIVE GROWN UP, it's cheap as chips and even my boyfriend's a fan of the shade. That's how you know it's a good'un.
The Pink: MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in All Fired Up. An absolutely terrifying blue toned pink that I would have been too terrified to buy myself, but looks absolutely rockin' on the lips. This was a gift from the lovely Alexandra, and I swear it's one of the prettiest lipsticks I own. Yes I'm scared of it, but it looks damn good on, if I do say so myself.
Are you a bold lip kinda gal, or a nudist at heart?
