over the years i have accumulated a lot of lipsticks, and they’re something that i really like. scratch that, they’re something that i love. i will admit it took me a while to wear color outside of my house a.k.a. outside of doing makeup tutorials in my bathroom. it’s not something i always do (especially because i stick to my favorite nude colors, like mac faux or urban decay naked lipgloss), but there’s something special about a red lip. i know, i know, that sounds so cliched, but it’s true. red lipstick instantly transforms an outfit, and can help make you look put together… especially if you’re feeling otherwise.  that little collage below are some of my favorites that are tried and true, and a post on red lips just seems like the perfect way to kick off february.
