thinking about starting to wear lipstick
#how do you do that anyway
Lipstick is simultaneously one of the more confusing of makeups and the easiest. My suggestion to you is to forgo lipstick entirely and look for products called “lip stain” which, like any other makeup, vary widely, but good ones have much more pleasant texture (no sticky slidy weirdness) and stay put even when you touch your face and lips a ton (this i know from such experience) and because they’re staining the skin instead of being a paint that rests on top of the skin usually look fine with a face otherwise totally devoid of makeup, whereas often lipsticks and glosses will look out of place on an otherwise bare face. Then, if you want the gloss or additional color or whatever you can layer a gloss on top. Lip stains come in different forms. My favorite kind is basically a marker for your mouth, it’s literally a blunt felt tip and I color in my lips and lasts all day. But they also come in that wand form and it goes on like gloss but quickly dries and smoothes, or in a little bottle with a brush, or you can find combo lipstick stains although i have no experience with them. Also, particularly relevant to you is that a pink is almost never the wrong color choice. basically you can wear a medium pink lip color at any time for any thing regardless of your skin tone or clothing or anything.
