Lipstick a subtle empowerment

One of the most used and one of the oldest makeup beautiefiers are lip products or color substances. For a good reason, it has instant effect for the user and surroundings. In history it was also part of status.

Think about the effect it has on yourself. If you don’t wear lipstick that much it gives you a good feeling when you have your perfect color on your lips. It finishes your look and suits your personality, even can freshen up that tired face. When using lipstick often it sometimes becomes a part of your personality. Both can feel naked when leaving the house and for both it’s an expression of themselves. It elevates you and shows you. Have you not felt more confident with the right lip look? Like rocking your catwalk walk on high heels? Like the not just good but perfect hair day?

There is something about it. It feels like a subtle empowerment and can elevate not only your look but also your mood.

But now how to find your perfect lipstick. First of all, forget rules and trends. (You are not embodying an age or type). Don’t watch too much tutorials, (too much wannabes) Instead open a printed fashion magazine! (Mostly professionals or people with real knowledge and style). Don’t compare but take the inspiration from it. Have a look at the lipstick in the store first focusing on the colors you like. Not from the mindset, what fits me? Then go ahead and try multiple possibilities to find out what gives you the best feeling. Both in colors and textures. Most important, it has to be your look and not how society expects it.
