The Guide to Finding the Perfect Lipstick for any Occasion
It's my personal belief that the right lipstick can take you anywhere. It's the finishing touch that brings everything together. The icing on the cake, so to speak. When it comes to dressing for occasions or certain events, once you've got your clothes picked out, picking the perfect lip colour is the next step.
It can be a minefield of faux pas and beauty blunders though. So to be sure you're always on the mark when it comes to your perfect pout, we put together a guide of the perfect lipstick for any occasion.

 | I've always been a lover of scarlet lipsticks, but this fuschia trend looks like something I can't pass up. Solution for having to kiss people (a la date or family gathering)? Two-step lipstick! No messy prints. |
 | I've never thought of lipstick this way but you're absolutely right; the wrong colour just gives the wrong impression and looks inappropriate. I love the breakdown and (now that i think about it!) i agree with you 100%!! Thanks for the article gf .. very helpful :) |
 | I'm moving into berry tones lately, I really like the casual lunch for day and the formal event/wedding by night. |
 | Night out would be my pick! |
 | Great guide! Thanks for posting this. |
