Reds, pinks, and nudes are only some of the many shades of lipstick I love. If it's MAC, name it and I got it! Growing up, I was the biggest tomboy, my love for basketball shorts and air forces trumped my interest in anything girly, especially lipstick. Back then the most fascinating type of makeup was lip gloss, or LipGlass from MAC, thankfully its in the past! Whoever thought walking around with super glossy and sticky lips was a good idea, sure did like the taste of their own hair on a windy day.
Around my 17th birthday, I was gifted a MAC lipstick, Hot Gossip to be exact. This lipstick was a hot pink with tons of shimmer, it was so NOT me! Regardless, I wore it in confidence, and received many compliments, and with that my love of lipsticks was born. My obsession is not just with any lipstick in general, its specifically with MAC lipsticks. They are always smooth, long lasting, and come in the trendiest shades. Personally I'm all about the matte finish when it comes to lipstick because it's so velvety, has a retro vibe, and I've found that it last the longest. Im no makeup artist, but pick the right shade of lipstick for your skin tone! This is a cardinal rule in wearing lipstick because someone who is fair like me, usually doesnt look so well in a beige nude, because it tends to wash us out, but when we look for a nude with a pink undertone, its very ikely that shade will look 10x better. Being a fair skinned gal, I can tell you its fun to experiment with different shades because there is so much to choose from. Regardless of your skin tone, make sure you take a moment to try on the lipstick, and consult a MAC goddess before buying the wrong shade.
Many ask me " Why do you wear lipstick so much?", ummm first of all because I'm a boss ass b*tch and I can do whatever I please, and second of all, it makes me feel FABULOUS! I love to use a light pink like MAC's Nouvelle Vogue or Pink Noveau for my everyday lipstick, a hot pink like Pink Pigeon when I'm feeling flirty, and of course red lipsticks like Damn Glamorous or Ruby Woo for when I'm feeling sexy and powerful. No matter what type of day I'm having, I know there is a perfect MAC lipstick to match my mood, or should I say shade ;). Leaving the house without lipstick is a total sin in my book, very similar to leaving the house naked!. Don't get me wrong, some days I wanna be in "sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on" but why not rephrase that to "sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with MAC lipstick on"?
The funniest part for me is when I'm dating a guy, and I'm wearing a hot pink or red lipstick, and he hesitates to kiss me because he doesn't want lipstick on him. Umm... Byyeeeeeee! Ladies hear me when I tell you this should be a total red flag, because if he truly loved you, he'd want your "purple kisses" all over him, and when I say all over, I mean head to toe #sorrynotsorry! Lets hear it for the dudes who put up with our lipstick stains, and the multiple personalities that go along with them!
So my advice to all my babes out there : Throw on some lipstick (Preferably MAC), go out, && conquer the world!
Below you'll see how addicted I really am:
