 Today I'm gonna show you some lipstick brands I like! I'll be covering three shades of pink lipsticks and one shade of red. 

The brands I choose are Being True - Pure Lip Color, YVES Saint Laurent - Rouge Volupte,  MAC Retro Matte, and Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Intense. 

Cute and simple 

YVES Saint Laurent - Rouge Volupte // Color - Lingerie Pink $34-$36

This bubblegum pink lipstick is such a fun color, its gives cute barbie doll like feel. The texture of the lipstick is very fluid, which makes it easy to remove. The color makes it easy to wear with heavy eye make up, if you're someone who wears colored eyeshadow or winger eyeliner this is a great color that wont clash with the rest of your make up. 

It is a very shiny lipstick though, and as I said before it's really easy to remove which means reapplying more often as well as worrying about smudges. The light color really is what I like about it though and obviously the pretty gold packaging. 

Natural and Classy 

Being True Pure Lip // Color - Doyenne $22 

This lipstick is great, it's creamy and has a really soft color to it. I would use this color for a more natural look then any of my other lipsticks. It's that color you want to use when you are trying for any of these three looks : classy, reserved, or natural.

I really love how the color make your lips look more hydrated and plump. The texture is cream like but it goes on strong with good pigmentation. The color is so light that smudging usually isn't an issue but if so because the color is so soft it is easily fixed without disrupting the rest of the make up on your face. 

Although I don't really wear a lot of heavy make up too often this lipstick is another I would choose for wearing with colored or bold eye make up. It also looks really great with muted natural themed make up!

MAC Retro Matte // Color - Flat Out Fabulous $17

This color is exciting and different. I love love Matte lipsticks so obviously I'm a fan. It is a super eye catching playful look. The lipstick has surprising long wear but if you plan on wearing it 8+ hours I would bring some kind of gloss with you because since its matte wearing it for too long will dry out, applying a small drop of gloss will prevent this. 

This shade is something you can rock with or without heavy eye make up. 

Classic and Adorable 

Make Up Forever - Rouge Artist Intense // Color : Mat #8 Matte Bright Red $20

This is my favorite lipstick of all time. It's a classic looking red matte lipstick I've been using it for a few years. It gives that Marilyn classic beauty volume and color. It has long wear and same gloss rule applies as for the MAC matte lipstick. This color is great for formal or casual, sexy or sweet. I only have this one red color because I don't use any others, i've tried a bunch of brands but this is definitely the best. I would highly suggest in investing in A corresponding color of Make Up Forever lipliner if you are using this lipstick. The lipstick is very rigid and thick so having lipliner to apply it with gets those perfect lines and neat finished look. This lipstick is super easy to ombre as well with other colors it blends easily. Although I will warn against the fact that it does smudge very easily so if you decide to wear it out for a long period of time would bring a compact mirror, extra foundation, as well as the lipstick and gloss to keep up it's appearance.

Anyways those are some colors and brands I use so hopefully if you're interested in some of them you have example of what the color will look like when used. The titles with names and prices under each picture above also are links to the sites where you can purchase them.
