I miss wearing lipstick I was a huge lipstick fan, but with teaching in a mask 8 hours a day, I do not wear it because no one would see it and it would be annoying in a mask. I did wear it in the fall when I was only teaching online.
My favorite is the Revlon Colorstay Overtime because it does stay on ridiculously long, even when eating and drinking. I can't remember the exact name but my favorite shade is something about Black Cherry - it's like a berry color.

I think a great starter is Cliniques almost lipstick in black honey. It gives a bit of color without being obvious, almost like a tint. It’s an oldie but a goodie.
A few of you mentioned that you tend to wear more lipstick now. I've never been a lipstick wearer, but recently realize that I've lost some of that youthful pigment in my lips. I feel like if I found a lipstick that works for me, it would pull together my look (especially on zoom) nicely.
So, how did you find your favorite type and shade? It all seems overwhelming so I've been putting it off.
Tagging pinkballoons and Aquatica because I know you both mentioned lipstick in the prior thread, although I know more of you did too.
Any advice welcome
This is going to sound weird but I let my 5-year-old pick my lipstick. She loves the color red and it turned out looking really nice. I grabbed a lighter pinkish shade as a backup if I didn't like the red. My H ended up liking the red too so now I've been wearing it when we go out. It doesn't get on my mask but you have to be really careful putting it on since it stays on.
I don't remember the brand but it's one of those 24 hour lasting ones. I'll check when I get home and get the color number off it. I haven't worn make up since my high school days and just wear the lipstick and nothing else.

I was offline for most of yesterday, so I just combed through them all. I'm going to start with this Clinique Black Honey "cult classic" that I've never heard about and the tinted vaseline balm as a mild color for days I'm wearing a mask.
For anyone else who's thinking about it--I decided to get the "cult classics" box at Ulta which includes the Clinique almost lipstick and other things for $20. A full tube of the lipstick was $20, so I figured this would be a good way to try it, and even if I hate it I get a new mascara and eyeliner too. www.ulta.com/cult-classics-makeup-set?productId=pimprod2021521&sku=2576591&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=aud-880489734931:pla-1244518091884&CAAGID=116327427728&CAWELAID=330000200002731615&CATARGETID=330000200002750981&CADevice=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmcWDBhCOARIsALgJ2Qc_4qgSkPMFleORBa-MYAZc5HST3o87CNCAN6jGGRgkVz-HnEwFZTIaAi3OEALw_wcB
PS--there's suggestions in this thread that I'd never considered (like using only lip pencil) so thanks!
nt, but I love when people update their posts. After a few weeks of testing it out....I FOUND A WINNER!
Big thanks to everyone who recommended the Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. I LOVE it. I feel like me, with a bit more of a youthful punch to my lips, which is exactly what I was wanting. Finger snaps to you all
I feel like I used to use this and loved it but had totally forgotten about it - so thanks for reminding me!
I tend to find a brand that I really like and branch out with colors from there.
I love Nyx butter lipstick and Urban Decay vice lipstick. I hate matte shades because they’re so freaking dry, so I try to stick with satin finishes. I like pinks and reds, I struggle with berries and browns, just because of my coloring. I usually color in my lips with a nude pencil first and then put lipstick on over it.
I can sometimes get self conscious when I’m wearing an especially bright color, but then I remember I don’t give a shit about what anyone else thinks because they’re stupid and I’m the best, lol.
If you like the look of matte - you might consider lipslut. They have a matte lipstick that doesn't feel too drying - its the only one I have that feels that way. I got "Tax Returns" from the "Fuck Trump" collection. no joke. lol
I'm 99% sure that's the one I have (I haven't worn lipstick since before COVID) and I love it too.
It was funny because 1.5 years ago I met a friend and one of her friends in another city, and when her friend and I were both putting on our lipstick, we realized we were both putting on that one! She and I have different coloring but it looked great on her too.
