5 WAYS WEARING LIPSTICK CAN MAKE YOUR DAY
Sashay, Shauntae Ladies!
Ever hear the saying “ A little mascara and lipstick goes a long way?” That’s the power of lipstick! Lipstick can lift your spirits! It can make you feel attractive even on your darkest days! Lipstick is a mood booster, especially when you find that perfect shade!
Have you heard of the “Lipstick Effect”? History has proven that even during recessions, people will substitute the purchase of big-ticket items for smaller luxuries. Back in the Great Depression of the 1930s, when industrial production slowed down, sales of cosmetics rose. Take that recession!
Here are the 5 ways wearing Lipstick can make your day!
- LIPSTICK SPEAKS A LOT ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY
Although you may have dozens of colors in your makeup bag, there are 2–3 colors you will use the most depending on how you are feeling or who you want to be that day. Anyone channeling RuPaul? Slay!
2. LIPSTICK DEFINES YOUR LOOK AND BRIGHTENS YOUR SMILE
Wearing lipstick enhances your look, whether it's about looking credible in a professional setting or to “bring sexy back” for date night; if you choose your lipstick shade correctly, it can enhance your complexion. (* BEAUTY TIP: Women with cool undertones, such as blues and purples, help to reduce yellow tint of the teeth; you should avoid warm tones if you are wearing lipstick to brighten your smile*)
3. LIPSTICK IS A MOOD ENHANCER
Women who wear lipstick feel more confident and empowered. It also lifts our spirits during tough times and can make us feel in control. Lipstick also boosts our femininity, which is felt by all those we encounter. Get it, Girl!
4. LIPSTICK CAN IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE
Say what?! That’s right! Studies have shown according to L’oreal, that women who wear lipstick daily have better posture than women who don’t. They call this act “stretching” which improves coordination, balance and can make you stand taller! Stretch those lipstick arms ladies!
5. LIPSTICK PROVIDES HYDRATION
Chapped lips anyone? Lipsticks contain some form of a moisturizing additive such as Castor oil and Vitamin E which are made to keep lips hydrated and help preserve the natural state of your lips. Check out WEEK & WEEKEND lipsticks that have antioxidants and Castor Oil. Pucker up!
