Pucker-up ladies! The 29th of July is National Lipstick Day and we’re here for all the confidence-boosting, lip-enhancing, head-turning benefits that this magical beauty product has to offer.
Whether you’re using lipstick to add the finishing touches, or as the only touch, there’s no denying that a lick from your favourite tube adds more than just a dash of colour. Arguably the most popular make-up item in your make-up bag, and the world at large, it’s no wonder there’s a whole day set aside just to celebrate this powerful beauty staple.
Of all the beauty products, lipstick is one of the most accessible, the most affordable, and easiest to wear. But it’s also a lot more than just an item in your handbag. It has become a weapon of choice. An empowering tool that complements every look, works with all skin tones and enhances all shapes. For decades lipstick has helped women create the looks they love. Today, it serves as a mood-booster, a confidence-catalyst, a game-changer that lets women represent themselves in a way that makes them not only look beautiful but feel it too.
The past few years have hindered our ability to strut our favourite lipstick, but now that face masks are gone – insert happy dance here – we’re celebrating all the colours, formulas and applications that help us to vamp up our pout game. National Lipstick Day is the perfect way to come together as lipstick lovers to highlight some of our favourites:
– LIPSTICK: Take good care of your lips with Kiss Catcher from Inglot. Not only does its velvety smooth and light formula allow for easy and even application; when used regularly, lips are left feeling smooth and firm thanks to its on-point nourishing ingredients.
– LIP LINER: Get rich lip colour that lasts with Revlon’s popular Colorstay Lip Liner. It glides on smoothly and reduces feathering or bleeding to create the perfect definition. When applying, work from the centre of your lips outwards, being sure to colour in your full lips and pay attention to the borders. For kissable lips, layer any lipstick you love over the top and finish with your favourite gloss for added intensity.
– LIP GLOSS: Create shine that lasts with Lipglass from Mac. Designed for versatility, this glass-finish gloss can be worn on its own, over a lip pencil or lipstick. An added benefit is the nourishing Jojoba oil that helps to smooth and condition your lips.
– LIP PLUMPER: Ready, steady, pout with Fenty’s Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper. As its name suggests, this innovative lacquer contains a blend of ingredients that gently plump lips for an undeniably fuller pout, with extra ingredients that lock in moisture. We’ll take two!
– LIP BALM: When our lips are dry, they look thin and flat. Keep your pout plump with nourishing extracts of Barbados Cherry extract, Jojoba seed and Rosehip fruit oils from Fenty’s delicious Cherry Treat Conditioning Lip. This ultra-hydrating lip oil helps to reduce dry skin that may flake off, creating a perfectly smooth canvas for your lipstick, all day, every day.
From liquid lustre to bold mattes and dazzling gloss, creamy textures and amazing colour options, from sheer and light to dark and bright, from lipstick connoisseurs to first-time-kissers… the options are endless and there is something for everyone. So, in honour of National Lipstick Day, let’s collectively throw away the face masks and get ready to rock our favourite lipstick for 2022, and beyond.
