I know, I know, I am terrible!! I said I would post things during the Christmas break but then I was too into eating and catching up with friends... But I decided to share this little story with you!
Last Friday evening I was invited to a classmate's birthday gathering at her place. I didn't really spend a lot of time getting ready, we would be in a house with few people after all. So I just put a black t-shirt, my grey imitation leather full skirt and my black booties. People who know me are well aware of the fact that I am not very fond of heavy make up and I use very basic products everyday. The everyday routine is concealer, mascara and blusher. Since it was evening I just put on some black eye pencil and a red lipstick.
I have to say, the red lipstick seems to be magical. I arrived at the classmate's house and I received compliments from everyone for how beautiful I looked. People seemed to think that I had spent a lot of time on my make up but really I hadn't, just 2 minutes longer than my 2-3 minute daily routine (as long as it would take to apply the eye pencil and the lipstick).
I have to thank my friend Vaya for giving me the lipstick as a present during Christmas because every time I wear it I seem to get compliments which is really boosting my self-confidence.
So what I learned from this story is to never underestimate the power of a red lipstick!! I encourage you to try it but remember to combine it with a very natural look on your make up so that it doesn't look cheap!!
Until next time!!
