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!

@AlexJC - I think you look so amazing with such a natural look! It's a totally new thing for you, but you SHOULD NOT feel self conscious. If anything, they make your gorgeous eyes and perfect brows pop even more than usual! :)

@mercurysmile - that's what surprised me too! You look totally done up and chic with a bright lip... but it's virtually zero effort. Makes makeup removal at the end of the day so much easier. I still love my liquid eye liner and mascara (so I don't think I'd ever give them up long term), but it was a fun experiment I'll be sure to do again.

I love this look ! Lip Gloss with the colourful tints are my MUST HAVES .. I would definately wear this. No make up , minimal hair style and bold lips !

Love the look and I've been experimenting with fun lip tints since Summer began and found my faves to be red and coral so far!

I think all the ladies here look wonderful, I love doing a bright lip because it gives the allusion of a made up face even if everything else on my face is light.

I guess I am self conscious but I can't stand not having any eye make up on- but with the bright lipstick, it gives a little something extra- effortlessly chic and stylish!

I think Tammy looks stunning like that, its amazing how something as simple as lipstick gives such a fresh look.

Sure I'd try it, I think a nice lip color sets your look off and trying
different colors with different looks is fun. I may not always get it
right, but its still fun to try. I think Alexandra's Fuschia color makes
her beautiful completion glow even more then it normally does. I agree
that Tammy's berry-hued makes her glow as well. Michelle's coral color
lip makes her beautiful eye's stand out even more and Claire's
cherry-tomato red shows off her cheek bones and her cute dimple chin.
They were all good color choices for them as far as I'm concerned.
