Bold Lips for Fall


In an effort to keep the "stepping outside of my comfort zone" thing going (FRESH start people, FRESH START), I have decided that my goal for this month is to start painting my lips up in in-your-face lipstick. Not lipgloss—full-on, pin-up-girl bright, rich and daring color. Are you with me?

Now, the idea of going to the grocery store in bright hot pink lips makes me want to hide behind a box of Wheaties but that's the point: to break out of my old habits and try something I wouldn't do usually.

Maybe I'll even get comfortable enough to wear red lipstick naked while I sip coffee like this chick above! LOL
Now, if you're up to the challenge, here's the plan: If you're not a bold lipstick-wearer already, this month, just start experimenting with bold lipstick like it's your job. But if you already have a few crazy shades in your bag, play with a few new colors or try wearing the ones you have out in places you wouldn't normally. Then let me know how it goes. And send pictures to passionforpretty@gmail.com.

Any of you on board? Got any advice for a beginner-bold-lipstick wearer? Spill it.

  1. I think I will try out some bolder lip colors. I must admit that as a brownie, I've played it safe with my lipstick colors b/c somehow I got the idea in my head that bold colors were for white girls or crazy folk. Now, I'm a little older and wiser and I'm ready to show it my lipstick choices. Great post.

  2. My advice is to try a dark lip stain with a gloss over it. The gloss really makes the color pop. I just started with bold lip color as well - and I went all out with this one. Lemme know how it goes ;)
