What color lipstick

[verycontrary247]

Can I wear with this?




It's hard to tell in the picture, but the pants are "hollyhock purple"- kind of a dark reddish purple.

I'm going to dinner at a country club with president/other bigwigs from my company on Wednesday because I won an award for being awesome.

Now I see a pic! I'm no help. I suck at makeup, but you look pretty!

Also, better idea of the color from the target website.

Okee doke, but you are way under dressed for the event you are describing. 

They said dress like we would for work. My work is extremely business casual. This is way more dressed up than I typically would be (vans/converse, dress pants, tank/cardigan- like everyday)

[SKP82]

Look, not everything has to match exactly. Wear a neutral lip color you like.

[lexxasaurus]

I wouldn't match it exactly but I'd probably do a berry color. Something similar in color to Venom from Urban Decay's Revolution lipsticks.

Okay,but surely you have a little color you like on hand.

I own 2 lipsticks: bright red and hot magenta lol

[ralphlauren]

I don't get this.. Your outfit is neutral so you can wear anything.


What about fuchsia?



Too soon?!

[ralphlauren]

Oh you are way too casual for the dinner you described. It does not matter how you dress at work when you are not at work. I would wear a dress or something else.

[verycontrary247]

Y'all are killing me >.<

Can't I just dress it up with accessories?

[ralphlauren]

Nope. That outfit is not appropriate for the setting you will be in.

Trust us. You will thank us later

[Saint Monica]

Wear a dress!

Congrats on your award!

[wysiwyg]

You don't HAVE to wear a dress. See through is a no go, though. Pop a blazer on.

The outfit itself looks cute, but I'm business casual at my job and see through anything would be inappropriate.

Red would like nice. Your local CVS/Walgreens would work well, and Target has some good stuff.

[lust2hart]

What you are wearing would be too casual for an event with my work, but I trust you to know your company. However, I think you should bring a blazer just in case.

I would wear nude lips.

[Deleted]

I would personally wear a black dress to this event.

For lips either way, a "my lips but better color is in order". Something with a little more of the same type of color as your lips--this could be pinkish or warming depending on your coloring.

What is your budget? It'll be easiest to go to a make up counter. I recommend MAC--their price point is actually cheaper (under $20) and great quality. Just tell them you need a color for a conservative work event.

If you want drugstore, go to Walgreens or another place that does free returns. I like Revlon brand. It seems to consistently have good quality.

Congrats on your award by the way! That's so cool!

[sandytoes]

I think any color lip would be fine. Even red. And I think your outfit is fine. It's cute! But I would dress it up with heels, earrings, bracelet, etc.

[papie]

Wear a dress or a blazer with a different top and those pants. It doesn't matter if it is more dressed up than your usual, it is a super casual outfit.
I would do a bolder lip, in the pinkish red tones.

[verycontrary247]

I hate blazers with the passion of 1000 suns. I own one in khaki and another in a grey/white seersucker (impulse clearance purchase), I've probably worn them once.

[verycontrary247]

I also bought this dress today in a whirlwind Target shopping trip but I haven't tried it on yet.

Maybe? Take a pic of it on with tights, heels & some accessories. 

I can't until I get home from work tonight at like 11. I do not own a lot of accessories, would probably wear a pearl necklace and who knows what else.

Without the black tights, that's the route I would go.

I have a bunch of tattoos on my legs (so it looks weird to wear nude pantyhose) and I can't wear heels without some kind of tights.

[ralphlauren]

I like the dress a lot. I can't wait to see you PIP later
