Call me crazy, but I have a routine of thinking about habits.
Isso é estranho? Like, I notice things about myself, and then I spend a fair amount of time pondering whether it’s just me, or whether everyone else has the same quirks, and because I have a job that involves a lot of long-term quiet focus, my mind unavoidably wanders…
PROPAGANDA
“Am I the only one who does [INSERT QUIRK HERE]?” Or, “I wonder how she feels about [INSERT PONDERABLE topic HERE]?” Or, “Why would the writers of The walking Dead play with my emotions like that?!”
Of course, because I absolutely adore makeup, I a lot of typically find myself thinking about what’s hot now, or how we wear what we wear, or why we wear what we wear. For instance, where do the trends come from?? It’s sort of a chicken/egg situation, right? because I think you could argue that often the trends come directly from cosmetics companies (color correcting), and often they come from us (strobing).
Anyway…now that I’m here helping Karen (and Tabs, who’s a real taskmaster, BTW!) on makeup and appeal Blog, I want to chat with you about something that’s been rolling around in my noggin.

Here’s my question: What’s your “beauty comfort zone,” so to speak, when it pertains to lipstick colors?
My makeup comfort zone is pretty big where lipstick is concerned!
And I don’t just indicate standard lipstick. I’m also talking gloss, glitter, liquid lipstick (because it seems like errbody is talking about liquid lipstick ideal now) — you name it.
MAC x Halsey, that masterpiece of a grey lipstick, got me on this subject, because as wearable as it is for a grey lipstick, my brain automatically said, “Nope, that is not something you can wear everyday.”
Later after I thought about it some more, I wondered…why? Where was the girl who at 15 made a decision “I’m going to wear bright red lipstick to high school!” and did it fearlessly (despite the whispers in the hallway)?
Where was the girl who made a decision that bright purple lipstick was absolutely fine in the office on a Tuesday, just because?
My utmost neon coral, MAC’s Giambattista Valli Margherita (LE).
When I want bruised plum, I always turn to Giorgio Armani Plum 609.
A favorite “purple-pink,” YSL Rouge Volupté shine 19 Fuchsia in Rage.
We’re always told that one of the best things about makeup is that there “are no rules,” and while this is absolutely true, I think that policies do typically come from inside ourselves, a lot more than from anywhere else…at least where I’m concerned.
NYX released a absolutely amazing lipstick called Amethyst, and I want that baby bad, but the same little voice inside me that said that MAC x Halsey isn’t wearable is now telling me that I shouldn’t get Amethyst.
The irony here is that I consider myself to be exceptionally open-minded where lipstick is concerned!
I love bright pops of neon coral, deep blackened plums and neon purples. I love checking out how the vastly different colors change the way my overall makeup looks and brighten up an otherwise basic outfit.
So what’s so different about grey…or even indigo?

So, ladies, now it’s your turn. I love writing about (and commenting on!) things like this, because what might be “risky territory” for me could be something you’re exceptionally at ease with.
Or, you might know of a way to make a color that I’m frightened by absolutely approachable for day-to-day wear.
Let’s chat about it. meet you in the comments.
