What is your favorite brand of lipstick?
Hands down my favorite lipstick is Chanel, “Rouge Double Intensite,” It’s an ultra long wear lip-stain that is simply perfect. Never rubs off on my clothes, toothbrush, or husbands lips;) AND it lasts >>> 24 hours!
What is your most adored neutral color and bold color?
On my tired mornings when I skim on the make-up, I usually resort to my neutral “Boldly Bare” lip-liner, filled in with my “Velvet Teddy” MAC lipstick. This is also my beach day lip or out to Saturday brunch!
As many of you know.. I am known to run with the fire… I love reppin’ the red. Red lipstick is my signature stamp. Throughout college, I was rarely seen without it. I wore it to class, coffee dates, 6 a.m. morning practice, track workouts, Saturday adventures, Sunday mornings, and of course special events! With no shame. On my wedding day I surprised myself and passed up the aggressive red for a pastel pink! I wanted to feel pretty, and not draw so much attention to my lips. I was so pleased with how the “Soft Rose” Chanel lip-stain perfectly complemented my wedding dress, flowers, and groom. Now I am slightly converted to the neutral/blush/pink side, though red will always be my favorite. My most adored bold lip colors are reds (Ruby Woo and Russian Red by MAC), but lately I have been playing with mauves, nudes, and some darker bolder color’s just for fun. Some of my fav’s are Diva and Captive by MAC and “Deep Rose” Chanel lip-stain.

Pencils, sticks, stains, matte, gloss, or shimmer?
Pencils – I like to draw outside the lines;)
Sticks – I fill in the lines with color
Stains – YES. STAR. CIRCLE. FAVORITE. Draw outside the lines and fill in with color that lasts longer and looks better than pencils and sticks.
Gloss: I only use it to seal the color, then I blot it off
Shimmer: Meh rarely
Have you found the perfect red? If so what is the brand/style/color?
This is my perfect red: Rouge Double Intensite ultra wear lip colour in “Ever Red”
I also LOVEEEE Ruby Woo by Mac:) It’s very dry so doesn’t come off as easily! Jeremy appreciates that as well;)
What are your lipstick tricks?
I moisturize my lips at night, so I don’t put anything on in the morning before color! I think having bare lips allows the color to sink in better. Especially with the lip stains. The applicator on the lip stains is perfect for applying color outside my lip line to give a fuller look. After applying the stain I usually let it dry, it becomes slightly sticky, and then I apply another layer of color. After the second layer drys, I put on the clear glossy sealant. Once that sets in for a couple minutes I blot it off so my lips look matte again.
For regular lipsticks like the MAC amplified and regular lipsticks, I use concealer on my lips before applying. Then I use my lip pencil on top of that to get a really clear line, before applying the lipstick color.

Barely There
What is your favorite brand of lip stick?
What is your most adored neutral color and bold color?
Neutral: High Tea by MAC
Bold: Sushi Kiss by MAC
Pencils, sticks, stains, matte, gloss, or shimmer?
I’m definitely a gloss girl, but I might spice things up with a pencil if I’m feeling adventurous! 😉
Have you found the perfect red? If so what is the brand/style/color?
No, not yet…I’ve been on the hunt for almost a decade! 🙂
What are your lip stick tricks?
I homemake an exfoliating scrub with brown sugar, sea salt and coconut oil…I rub this on my lips once a week for softness and it helps avoid revealing lip creases when I wear lipstick.

Fire n’ Ice: Some days I’m feelin’ a bold and fiery lip while other days are more neutral and calm. You gotta know when to turn it on 😉
What is your favorite brand of lipstick?
I really like Bobbi Brown because theirs doesn’t clump up, but I have a weakness for Mac lipsticks because they have literally every color known to man!
What is your most adored neutral color and bold color?
My favorite neutral is Myth by mac… it’s not too white/pale and it’s not too pink, it’s just right 🙂
I tend to lean towards pink reds when I’m feeling a bold lip. Right now my newest obsession is Vegas Volt Amplified by Mac, especially with the Lasting Sensation lip pencil.
Pencils, sticks, stains, matte, gloss, or shimmer?
New to pencils… but am OBSESSED with what they do!
I want to like stains, however, it seems to be too much of a commitment for me. Every time I use a stain (granted it’s usually a bright red color) I usually regret it and, well I’m stuck with bright red stained lips. Nothing like Kleenex pieces stuck on your lips!
Really into this YSL gloss right now called Pop Water Glossy Stain! It’s a little pricey but its SO amazing. When you put it on it feels like water (I know, weird) but after 20 ish seconds it turns into a beautiful gloss that lasts for quite some time!
Have you found the perfect red? If so what is the brand/style/color?
I haven’t found the perfect red, for some reason I feel like I don’t look good in a bold red. Bold pinks are more my jam, and like I said before, Vegas Volt by Mac is amazingggg!
What are your lipstick tricks?
So I always use a really good SPF lip balm first. Obviously, it helps protect your lips from sun damage but it also moisturizes your lips to help avoid clumps. Then I trace the outline of my lips with a complimentary colored lip pencil, filling in my lip where needed. Honestly, on the average day, I usually just end it there as the bold lipstick can sometimes over do it. Blending the lip balm with the pencil kind of creates a tinted lip balm, which is perfect for my everyday look.
Second trick is super simple. Burts Bees Rhubarb lip shimmer. It feels amazing, looks amazing, and is just, well, amazing. 😉
