Reader Review of the Day: Lipstick Queen Medieval Lipstick
Reader Bailaoragaditana had plenty of positive things to say about Lipstick Queen Medieval Lipstick ($20), so I'll let her take it from here:
The name, the picture, the color, the backstory, and some rave reviews convinced me to buy it, but when I did, it was love at first try! Since Medieval is ostensibly a lip stain, it's quite sheer, but still very red — a confounding combination that I simply adore, as I can get away with wearing red and looking completely natural at the same time, which I never thought would be possible. It's actually much more balm-y than stain-y.
Trend Alert: Mauve Lipstick
Those who love mauve-coloured lipsticks are no shrinking violets. Celebrities like Selma Blair adores Serge Lutens Refillable Lipstick in Mauve de Swann and Sharon Stone favours La Prairie Cellular Luxe Lip Colour in Mauve Glow have revealed that their go-to lip colours are muted shades that fall somewhere between lavenders and dusty roses. Mauves look great on most skin tones so don't be afraid to test them out.
Reader Review of the Day: Sue Devitt Balanced Matte Lipstick
If you like the feel of a matte lipstick, perhaps Sue Devitt Balanced Matte Lipstick ($20) is for you. Reader Watergirl777 had only positive things to say about this lip product, and here’s why.
This lipstick is the best I've had in years!
Is Your Makeup Aging You? Part Three
There are times when we might want to look older than we are, and those times are typically set aside for Oct. 31. But when it comes to everyday life, could you be aging yourself unintentionally with the wrong shade choices and techniques?
Beauty School: The Best Lipsticks For Your Skin Tone
Welcome to my first edition of Beauty School, a series about makeup basics. Today's lesson is about which colour lipsticks complement your skin tone. Summer is a time to shelve your lip glosses and barely-there balms and break out those look-at-me lipsticks!
Which Colour Lipstick Do You Like Best on Evan Rachel Wood?
Over the past three days, we've seen Evan Rachel Wood wearing three different shades of creamy lipstick. On Sunday, she looked stunning in a retro coral shade at theYoung Hollywood Awards, on Monday, she walked the red carpet for the premiere of Whatever Works and yesterday afternoon she was spotted at the Los Angeles airport wearing an innocent rose shade. I can't help but notice that her makeup is unbelievably impeccable on each of these occasions, but vote below to let me know which lipstick look you like the most.
Which Colour Lipstick Do You Like Best on Fergie?
The Black Eyed Peas were spotted in Tokyo this morning promoting their new album The E.N.D. Fergie, who as we can see often changes up her lipstick colour, was spotted wearing a hot pink creamy shade and a rather shockingly bright centre part (I hope that all of her brown hair dye isn't causing her any irriation). My favourite colour lipsticks and glosses on Fergie are tied between coral and nude.
How-To: Repair a Broken Lipstick
Recently, I received a sample of lipstick, which, apparently, I was so excited to try, I actually knocked the lovely shade of pink off its base. If it's broke, I'm going to fix it. While I have heard of the match repair trick before, I've never actually tried it, so call it another one of my experiments in makeup repair.
There's Another Round in the Lead-in-Lipstick Battle
The lead-in-lipstick debate rages on, this time making another appearance in the Gray Lady. Today's Thursday Styles explores the controversy over the presence of lead in some lipsticks. Of 33 products surveyed last year by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC), one-third included lead in excess of 0.1 parts per million — the federal limit for candy.
Will Obvious Lip Liner Return? In W, It Already Has
The May issue of W has a '60s-inspired photo shoot that's inspired by one of my least favorite beauty icons, Brigitte Bardot. (Yes, she was physically attractive, but five indictments for "inciting racial hatred" spoil it for me.) Model Lara Stone shares her trademark gap-toothed pout as always, but this time it's haloed with that '90s throwback look: dark lip liner surrounding pale lipstick.
Fashion editorials usually push the boundaries, so don't expect this style to roar back for everyday wear anytime soon.
