Lipstick League Question of the Week
When it comes to lipstick, what’s your go-to finish (shimmer, creme, satin, matte, etc.) and why are you drawn to that particular finish?
G's answer: You know I love my mattes for fall and winter. When the weather warms up, I usually switch over to cremes and satin finishes. I do like to dabble in shimmery, sparkly and glittery lipcolors sometimes, but mattes, cremes and satins are my go-to finishes for sure. The reason I'm drawn to non-shimmery finishes is because I actually think they look better on my face than shimmers and glitters. I don't exactly know why, but I've also been told this by countless people over the course of my life (including makeup artists, etc.).

Guest Post of the Week, as chosen by Gouldylox Reviews - I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love Hair Romance. Although I don't know Christina, her blog is one of my all time favorites. Almost everything I've learned about long hair styling (in the one year I've had hair long enough to work with), I've learned from her. Did I mention I like this blog?
I'm a fan of matte formulas first and foremost, and then love cremes and satins. I also love a good tinted lip balm. Never been a fan of shimmers or anything with sparkles in it.
ReplyDeleteI go in the middle with a satin/shimmer finish.. although I also have a couple of pearl finish I enjoy. I find both mattes and frosts tend to show every line and imperfection in my lips, a little bit of shimmer is more flattering and also makes my lips look a bit larger.
ReplyDeleteMatte, as long as I have a balm underneath. However, I do looovee a good creme lipstick :)

I love creams the most then mattes :) not a big shimmer fan at the moment I don't think they look good on me either.
