Lipstick lovers it’s time to break out that special shade you save for extraordinary occasions because National Lipstick Day (July 29) is here. For those looking for a pout upgrade, here are some worth adding to your everyday routine.
For a super statement shade, turn to NYX’s Liquid Suede Metallic Matte Lipstick ($7.50, www.nyxcosmetics.com), a high-impact metallic color that was inspired by NYX’s best-selling Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick. Whether you want to create instant beauty drama by donning bold hues like ego (purple) or something more subdued like exposed (pale gold), the 12 shades offer something for everyone.
Nothing’s worse than when you’re wearing a bright hue and your lipstick sucks all the moisture out of your pout. Ensure you’re moisturized to the max with the JAFRA Moisture Rich Lipstick ($14, www.jafra.com), which comes in nine lovely shades, including the fun Hydra Pink, offering long lasting color and smooth and soft lips.
If you’re all about the beauty multi-taskers, try Dermelect 4-in-1 Smooth Lip Solution Intimate in Sheer Pink ($20, dermelect.com), which combines the color of a lipstick with moisturizing balm, the staying power of a stain, and the ultra-high shine of a lip gloss.
