The One Makeup Product You Can’t Do Without? We Vote for Lipstick!

Ask any woman what her one makeup must-wear product is, and chances are she’ll answer “Mascara”.  And while we agree that mascara perks up the eyes and gives a fresh-faced finish, it doesn’t quite bring the glam, does it?

We’ve seen runway models season after season strutting down the catwalks in nothing more than a powerful blast of lip colour.  So we asked ourselves: could lipstick be the one small change that really makes all the difference?

We did an experiment and all came into work one day sans makeup (it wasn’t an easy sell, let me tell you).    After slicking on our boldest lippie colours, we hit the posing wall:

Alexandra gets fresh with fuschia…

…while Tammy’s berry-hued lips make her tawny tones glow.

Resident redhead Michelle goes for a saturated coral colour…

…and Claire plucks a cherry-tomato red.

Tell us what you think of these makeup transformations – would you be bold enough to try this look?  One lucky commenter will win a prize!

I love to try, Tammy's look. The lipstick looks so fresh and natural, it's very beautiful,simple and just a clean pop of color.

I would love to try out Tammy's lipstick! But I always love Alaxandra's look!
All of these shades are great for night and can lightly dabbed and mixed with sheer gloss for a fresh daytime look!

I think you all look beautiful! Alexandra looks great with that fushia lip color. It really complements her brown hair!

wow those lip colors are gorgeous on them, but I personally wouldn't wear them because it's out of my comfort zone and I love my nudes and pinks (:

Unfortunately, I have no clue what I used since I had to mix 3 - 4 different shades for it to show. They were different shades of plum an darker reds so I guess you can always try it out for yourself and see what combo you'll look good with. Mix and match is always fun :)

@beachbabe - I believe Tammy used a mix of products. If she remembers what she used maybe she'll spill her secret.

I love Alexandra's lips! But all the ladies look awesome. My one product I can't do without is my lip gloss. I always have it in my purse at all times. :)

wow you girls look just gorgeous! this can be the new IT look for all of you! Do you have any foundation on? Your skins are naturally that glowing? I'm so jealous! @Alexjc I absolutely love the way you look here! So sophisticated and simply flawless. I agree with mamaluv, your eyes actually stand out more here.

If I had to pick only one single makeup item I'd wear to look 'put together' it'd be eyeliner. Smudge it across the top and bottom. I've never tried plain face with just lipstick. Hmm..gotta try that!

I LOVE Tammy's lipstick! I've been looking for one in that exact shade actually. Are you allowed to give away the brand and colour? :)
