CHANGE YOUR LIPCOLOR. CHANGE YOUR MOOD

Every woman plays favorites. But when your shade becomes as routine as your hairstyle, it’s time for a lip intervention. Try breaking old habits with a new punch of color. Thought you couldn’t wear most colors? Think again. There’s even a red that’s right for you. But bold is not your only option…it’s also sexy to go nude. Neutral shades can set your lips to simmer. Let your mood do the picking. After all, why should all of your moods have to share the same shade?

HOW TO CHOOSE

There are lots of factors in determining your perfect pick.

• Form: Lipcolor comes in a stick or liquid formula. You’ll find that lipstick is slightly easier to apply since the formula is more forgiving. Liquid lipcolor comes with a wand that may require more precision to apply, but some liquid formulas like Superstay Lipcolor also come with a long-wearing benefit that lets you skip the touch-ups.
• Coverage: Lipcolors can provide a wide range of coverage that will impact the intensity of color. Best for a natural or no-makeup look, sheer coverage lets your natural lip show yet can still offer a tint of color. Sheer coverage is great for experimenting with dark shades: the color is less forbidding yet it still delivers the drama. Medium-coverage lipcolors like Moisture Extreme provide more texture and robust color that works for the office, evenings and any time in between. Full-coverage lipcolors serve up color at its most intense and completely cover your natural lips. Usually long-wearing formulas such as Superstay come in full-coverage shades.
• Finish: Pick the finish you desire to get the look that you want. A cream or satin finish makes lips look smooth and lustrous. Superstay Lipcolor and Moisture Extreme offer a spectrum of shades with these types of finish. A pearl or shimmer finish illuminates lips with shimmer. A shiny finish delivers extra sheen. A matte finish is shine- and shimmer-free.
• Benefits: Make your lipcolor do double duty by looking for lipcolor with a benefit. If you’re short on time or can’t do touch-ups, go for a long-wearing formula like Superstay Lipcolor for up to 16 feel-good hours of luminous color. These lasting formulas mix conditioners with pigment to stay on your lips for hours without drying out. Imagine eating, drinking or even kissing without smudging or wearing off your lipcolor. If your lips feel dry, choose a moisturizing lipstick that’s creamy and emollient-rich to provide extra moisture plus color. Try Moisture Extreme, which has the active power of lip balm and another key benefit: SPF 15 sun protection so you can look your best even at the beach!

HOW TO FIND MY SHADE

Flirt with color and expand your beauty boundaries. You may already have a bond to your existing lipcolor, but it’s important to liven up your lip look with fresh new colors. The right shade has the power to take your look from low-impact to absolutely luscious. And remember that your lips already have natural color, so the best way to see if a shade really works is to apply it to your lips…not to the back of your hand.
