It’s your first date, and you’ve got done all the prepping to emphasize your sexy self. Butterflies flutter as your mind wanders to a kiss at the end of the night. Suddenly… panic. What to put on your lips? Every makeup loving girl has bad experiences with lipsticks and kisses. I’m a lover of intense red lips, and I’ve had a few run-ins with the “clown mouth” myself. Gloss has become more of a product of the past, and wearing nothing does not make one feel their best, so what’s a girl to do?
Here are some tips and tricks to reduce some stress:
Use lip liner as lipstick:
MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil
The lip liner has a really long staying power, and doesn’t tend to transfer. Obviously choosing a more neutral or rose-colored liner will give the best results. Make sure your lips are well hydrated first, as lip liners can dry out.
Long lasting lip stain:
YVES SAINT LAURENT BEAUTY Shiny Stain
A lip stain that really mimics the stain imparted by drinking red wine is the best. The color really sinks into lips for a natural hue that does not transfer. YSL has a wide range that works well in this scenario.
Wear Your Lipstick:
Bite Beauty, Bite Lush Lip Wipes
The color goes perfectly with your clothes and you feel naked without it, so go ahead and wear your favourite lipstick. Luckily Bite Beauty has come up with lip wipes that remove lipstick without smearing it all over your face. Just before the end of the night, release yourself to wipe the colour off your lips, and you are ready to kiss!
When you come home from date night, do not let your face show what happened that night. Make sure you kiss and tell (not show) your own way!
