“I’m the chick y’all love to hate
I’m the chick that’s raised the stakes
I told John Sterling he should switch debate
This January has been one of the most powerful months in my 20 something waking years. I’ve experienced both highs and many lows and it has created a sense of liberation. Because I am deciding to embrace this authoritative stance, I figured it would be fitting to share my three favorite red lippies that put me in boss mode.
Bichette
Bichette gives my lips the perfect blend of maroon and bright red. Colour Pop’s Bichette is super pigmented and glides with a breeze, so you can get away with not exfoliating your lips before application.
Sometimes matte lipsticks can feel a little heavy on the lips but Bichette doesn’t do that for me. It does take a while to dry matte but it stays in place which is amazing. It’s super affordable and that makes me an even happier camper. The only issue with this is that it runs out pretty quickly.
Chaos
Long before I knew the glory of makeup, I only knew NYX’s brand. I think most beauty newbies start off with this brand because NYX provides such great quality products with affordable prices. My favorite red lipstick from NYX is Chaos. I have tons of empty jars of this oldie but goodie sitting in my lipstick bin. Don’t ask me why I haven’t thrown the empties away, because I wouldn’t have a legitimate answer for you.
Regardless, this red made my list because it’s one of those reds you run too if you need pigment and moisture! It provides such great moisture while given you the boss lady red you need to be taken seriously. I prefer to wear this red lipstick with a liner, but for the sake of sharing I wanted you to see how vibrant it looks on my lips without looking awfully ridiculous.
If you are wearing this lipstick out to an event then, I would suggest exfoliating first with a simple scrub like the elf’s exfoliating lip scrub. Though this provides moisture, it can go on a bit grainy at times.
HeartBreak
I’m cheating a little bit as this isn’t a traditional lipstick BUT it’s just one of my most favorite red liquid lipsticks of all time hands down!
Entitled Beauty’s liquid lipstick is a new player to the boss lady red game but its winning by a landslide. It so highly pigmented and has great color payoff without having to layer. One of the great aspects of this liquid lipstick is that it’s mineral based. And you all know that I am all about the conscious consumer decision we as women have to make. Makeup matters! And so does the ingredients that go into the products you use, so Entitled Beauty’s heartbreak red lipstick has won my heart entirely. Even the packaging of the product is amazing with their frosted bottle and easy to grip handle.
