Bright Lips help photos added

[glitzyglow]

I have an embarrassingly large lipstick collection...I love lipstick. I only started wearing bright, bold lips a few years ago but now I'm an addict. Like others said, just do it. Trust that you are rocking it! I guarantee you will get a compliment because you will look great!

Some of my favorites (none of these are my pics):

NYC Color Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Retro Red ($1)


Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm in Cranberry Crush ($2 at Walgreens next to the makeup checkout counter)


Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice (a dupe for MAC Lady Danger)


MAC All Fired Up

I"m the big Chanel advocate... for picking the absolute right RED for you.

...but brights can be had at the drugstore level without going through all that.



IMHO, the best thing to do is to take a good look at the $1 Wet n Wild Lipsticks. Right now, all WnW is 40% off at Rite Aid, so you can get a BUNCH of lipsticks for 60 cents each. Buy the ones that are attractive to you and go play.

Here are some of those that I have and really like, in no particular order:

Retro Pink:




Fuchsia with Blue Pearl (love!)





Nouveau Pink:







Hot Paris Pink:

I own all these WnW ones and I love them. They have fantastic staying power as well.

Since MAC is an option, I would go to the MAC counter / store and have them help. That's what they're there for and they're good at it. Besides, they have so many pretty brights. And you can sample as many as you want instead of buying things you may not like.

I went to MAC and asked for a bright lipstick.

If you look at the swatch picture I posted, see the color on the far right? That's the bright lip color they (two of them consulted) picked for me. It's really pretty, so I bought it, but it's not bright.
