See what your go-to lipstick shade says about you by finding your personality below, or choose a color based on the vibe you want to convey
A mid-tone brick red like Boots No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Cinnamon Swirl
projects powerful girl boss-ery and tells others you aren't afraid to
ask for what you want. A bold, rich cranberry shade says, "I deserve it"
and can give you the extra kick of confidence you need.
What it says about you: "I'm not bossy, I'm the boss." (Beyonce actually said that, but you can borrow it.)
When to wear it: Asking for a raise, breaking up with a stage-five clinger, any time you need a reminder of your own fierceness.
A middle-of-the-road berry is univerally flattering and shows you put effort into your look, but not too much. Burt's Bees Lipstick in Brimming Berry
is just bold enough without being overpowering. Berry shades say that
you're a girl who knows what she wants and gets it, with class and
elegance of course!

When to wear it: First date, after-work cocktails, meeting the parents.
No color is more quintessential girl's night than a vibrant, hot
pink. If you speak your mind and would describe yourself as a girl's
girl, we bet you're team hot pink! A shade like NARS Semi-Matte Lipstick in Schiap
is a classic one that screams fun and is a favorite of Kim Kardashian
herself. The semi-matte finish stays bright through cocktails and
dancing with no need to pause the fun for touch ups.
When to wear it: Girl's night out, your birthday, every single time you wear a sundress.
If you have no trouble going after what you want and getting it, you
might be a mauve girl. While bright bold shades can come across too
risky, a subtle, mid-tone shade like mauve puts out confident, capable
vibes. Try a nice muted plum like Chantecaille Lipstick in Lotus. This color says calm and capable but also "I've got my stuff together."

When to wear it: Interviewing for your dream job, an important presentation, negotiating big purchases.
If you want to feel soft, girly and romantic, a blushing nude like L'oreal Colour Riche Exclusive Doutzen's Nude
is just that. The shade was designed with supermodel Doutzen Kroes, so
it's perfect for that Victoria's Secret model pout we all want. If
you're drawn to nude pinks, you're likely someone who goes with the
flow, doesn't like confrontation or trying out trends. You can't argue
with a nice, understated nude pink, and that's what you're all about.
You probably also wear a lot of black, white, and nude.
When to wear it: Wedding day, holidays, family photos.
Sometimes we want to convey "don't mess with me today," and that's totally ok. I love a deep, gothy purple like NYX Simply Vamp in Temptress
to put me in touch with my inner Rihanna. Put this and "Bitch Better
Have My Money" on and settle into your mood. If you have no eff's left
to give, you're likely into the dark side hues and we applaud you.
When to wear it: PMSing, after a break-up, the birthday party of a frenemy.
Not a lipstick kind of girl? No worries! Choose a lip product that's
as low-maintenence and chill as you are. One of my favorite options for
adding color and moisture without feeling or looking like lipstick is Root's Pretty Balm in Waverly.
These can be applied on the go and don't require any special makeup
skills or precision. Lip balm girls are usually the active, on the-go,
easy to get along with chicks.
