I never like lipstick in red, fuschia or other unconventional colors. Not that I have bias, it just does not suit me.
Hence I mix such colors with other shades or I turn to lipstick layering to make them fit my preference.
Sometimes, the result is just okay, but when it's good combination, it surprises.
I can do so now unlike in my younger years, when there were few lipcolor options to choose from.
Way back in college ('90s era), the brown shades came in vogue; how can I not remember the chocolate brown lipstick which the cool girls wore to school. It was a different look and the gals who wore it stood out from a bevy of college gals.
But for me I have always had penchance for pink or peach which I usually buy with excitement.
I remember my all-time favorite moisture-rich lipstick by Revlon (02- Shell) that I often scour in beauty counters. It is peachy in shade and minty in taste and I liked it.
Perhaps the color has been phased out but the moisture-rich variant can still be found abroad so I was told.
Now when I am given a red lipstick or happen to buy a shade that is not of my color preference, I layer it with a lipgloss, lipbalm or another lipstick to make a new shade out of it.
I usually apply lighter colors of pink or frosted pale pink, or brown to make the shade lighter or softer.
Young ones these days can wear bold colors but for me I am sticking to pink, peach, pastels and nude lippies. Such friendly, pleasant and feminine colors to have.
