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 can be all that is seen. You are all so pretty and I think that can be apperciated more without the distraction of bold lips.

	on June 23, 2011 Becky 13,128 said: All you ladies look gorgeous both bare and bold! :-) But if I had to nitpick I'd say Alexandra's face is fresh healthy and glowing with bare lips. I think it's just the shade of bold lip colour she chose that's sort of darkening her. She looks gorgeous, but compared to her bare lips, I like the bare better. The rest of the girls bold lips look awesome (although the bare looks beautiful too, but beside the bold, and considering the summer colours, bold rocks!). I especially love Tammy's lip colour. It makes her whole face just pop! Everything looks brighter and better on her after that pop of colour. Also the shade of red suits really well.
