5 Things | Autumn Lips

A question I ask myself on a near to everyday basis is, am I brave enough to wear a bold lip today? sadly often the answer to that question ends up being no. But that certainly doesn't stop me proudly wearing one around the house when I've got nothing else to do, I can't be the only one who does that? So today as most seem to be in the autumn spirit, I thought I would share with you my 5 chosen autumn lip colours.

Rimmel Kate Moss '107'
Rimmel Kate Moss '30'
Revlon 'Black Cherry'
Mac 'Velvet Teddy'
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipliner 'Black Tulip'

I think it's safe to say that if you're a new comer to the bold side of the lip colour spectrum then start of safe and use a lip liner. That way the colour you use won't bleed and it actually makes it easier to apply and the colour last longer. Although the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks already have an amazing staying power as they are more of a matte finish, Revlon's 'Black Cherry' is a lot more on the glossier side and is harder to maintain during the day, so keep it in your handbag!

Autumn doesn't always have to be about the berry's and deep red lips, there's nothing stopping you rocking a darker 70's nude that is bang on trend. I love 'Velvet Teddy' by Mac and often find myself wearing it on a day to day basis when I'm not brave enough to walk out with a dark shade on my lips. As much as I love the shades of Black Cherry and 107 I am too scared to wear them, I'm scared of people judging me and them not suiting me when really I shouldn't worry what others think of me and rock it whatever. So if your feeling 'meh' about walking out in public with red paint slathered on your lips just think how little others will actually care.

Steps to wearing a bold lip:
1.  Apply your boldest of choices.
2. Walk out the door.
3. Don't care what others think as they stare at the amazing-ness that is your lips.
