Spring Makeup Trend: Bold Lips!

Word on the street is that bold lips are a trend for spring. I admit, I tend to go pretty neutral with lip color. Something about bold lips makes me feel overly made up, even though I have NO problem wearing lots and lots of eye makeup. Go figure.

When I got my makeover last week, they told me that I should always wear color on my lips, and they put me in a color called Poppy.

It looks like lipstick, but it’s actually what they call a Stick Gloss.

Introducing new Stickgloss from Laura Mercier—a nourishing formula that delivers a sheer, sophisticated finish.

  • Part lip balm, part Lip Colour, part Lip Glace.
  • Provides a sheer wash of color and adds fullness to lips.
  • May be applied alone, with a brush, or over lip liner.

I love it because it doesn’t go on too dark and it is nice and moist – like a gloss. I’ve been using it, and even though I’m tempted to blot it a bit to tone down the color, I have to admit I’m rather enjoying wearing a bolder color on my lips!

Whaddya think?
