Happy International Lipstick Day!
When it comes to one single beauty product, lipstick can be transformative and not just aesthetically. A study conducted by the Edith Cowan University in Western Australia revealed that in a survey of 300 female participants, an incredible 253 reported that wearing lipstick made them feel “very confident.”
Who else has reached for a bold red lipstick for a special occasion, fun night out or important meeting?!
When curating the lipstick products that make it into my professional makeup kit (and personal makeup bag) I have extremely high standards - my criteria is that all lipsticks must be:
Long-wearing
Hydrating
Formulated with clean botanical ingredients
Creamy and effortless to apply
Bold colours must be highly pigmented
Effortless touchup
Ethically made
Cruelty-free
Doesn’t bleed
