Makeup Transformation: From Bare Lip to Bold Lip (Guess to Win!)

Posted by ChickAdvisor Team | Wednesday June 22, 2011

Ever felt a little ho-hum and then put on some lipstick and felt magically transformed? Or, do you prefer to keep it simple with a bit of lip balm as you head out the door? We're firm believers in the power of face paint, so we thought we'd do a side-by-side comparison and see what you think: Bare lip or bold lip, what's better?

Alexandra with her bare lip, and wearing Revlon Matte Lipstick in Fabulous Fig, a berry shade that looks lovely with her deep brown eyes.

Tasha takes her lip from light to bright, wearing Lise Watier Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss in Mango Punch, a vivid coral.

Jenni looks lovely with her cat eyes—at right she swiped on Guerlain KissKiss Peche Fougueuse 541, a creamy peach with a touch of red.

Tammy goes for a classic: M.A.C Lipstick in Russian Red, a matte formula with blue undertones that's super flattering on most skin tones.

What do you like better, a bare lip or a bold lip? Tell us in the comments below and get entered to win a beauty prize (it'll be one of the five we're giving away this week, check out this article to see what they are).

It's all about finding the perfect shades for your skin tone. A trick I use to make a bold lip more wearable is to dab the lipstick on lightly and rub it in with my finger. That way, you could build up the intensity to your liking.
