    8 reasons life is better with lipstick

    Sometimes, life is better with a bold lip. Here’s why…

    #1 Confidence, baby!

    There’s something about rocking a bold lip that racks up a few extra points – not only in the beauty stakes, but in terms of overall confidence. You’ll look better, feel incredible, and have a little spring in your step.

    #2 It dresses up any look

    Too lazy to put together an on-trend outfit? Stick to your trusty jeans-and-tee combo, and step it up a notch with a slick of lipstick. You can’t go wrong with a fire-engine red – we love Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice.

    #3 It’s a great hangover disguise

    Dull skin, dark circles and tired eyes are all telltale signs you indulged in one too many martinis the night before. What’s the best way to cure a killer hangover? A bottle of water, a good (read: greasy) breakfast and a bold lip. A bright colour will draw attention away from your weary peepers and brighten your whole face.

    #4 It screams ‘effort’

    A pop of colour on your pout makes you look like you’ve made an effort… even when you haven’t. So if you’re the kind of girl who hits the snooze button every morning, this is the perfect trick for you. It takes two seconds to coat your lips with a good colour, but everyone will think you’ve spent at least 10 minutes in front of the mirror. #winning

    #5 It’ll boost your mood

    Want to turn that frown upside down? A bright colour can do wonders for your mood. Go for a hot pink lippie, like Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick in Flamenco. After all, it’s the colour of love – and what’s more uplifting than that?

    #6 It’s all you need in a rush

    Lippie goes well with an otherwise bare face. If you’ve got no time to doll up, or feel like going make-up free but still want to impress, opt for a bold lip. Nobody will know the difference!

    #7 It’ll make your teeth look whiter

    Lipstick is the easiest tooth whitening solution out there! Whatever the shade – red, coral or dark – a bold lip will make your teeth look whiter and your smile brighter.

    #8 It doesn’t cost much

    Considering how long it lasts, a good lipstick is a well-priced beauty buy. And with all the above benefits, why wouldn’t you invest in one? For those on a tight budget, try Ultra3 Moisturising Lipstick. It’s just $3.95. Yes, really!

    I think it would take more than lipstick but hey, there's nothing wrong with adding another tube to the arsenal of tricks to make this duck happy!

    I always wear a bright orange lipstick. Never thought it required much confidence to wear but I do love how it brightens my face, without any effort

    dreamdream936 10 Aug 2015 4:21 PM

    I love wearing lipstick - it gives me lots of confidence...

    Petal 3 Aug 2015 11:31 PM

    I love wearing bold lipsticks all the time. I would be so bored if I wore neutral lipsticks on a regular basis.

    So many different colours, and different looks created

    I have very dry lips so as well as a colour they feel smooth.

    I literally never go a day without lipstick. My love!

    Love a statement lip. Running late for the Opera House on Saturday night. All I needed was foundation, Mascara, bronzer, NYX lip primer and MAC's Candy Yum Yum for a Pop. Lifted my all black outfit to style statement. Agree wholeheartedly with the article.

    love a red lipstick

    Natalie136 19 May 2015 4:17 AM

    I love lipstick! I agree, it is definitely a mood enhancer. If I can't be bothered putting makeup on, I just swipe on some lipstick and I'm ready to go.

    I love a bold pink lip but it's not for when I'm in a rush! It can take a bit of time to apply.

    Belle88 23 May 2015 7:43 PM

    Love wearing bold lipsticks! It really does boost my confidence and makes me feel great :) Reds, pink, berries = love ❤

    skitzkitty 18 May 2015 1:39 PM

    Sorry, I disagree that you need nothing more than a bold lip - it just looks unfinished if your skin is a mess!

    JaneyPooh 18 May 2015 10:52 AM

    I love a bold lip it brightens me up a treat.

    Colour Those Lips 18 May 2015 9:16 AM

    Love bold lips! Love my reds and darks

    Neel8888 18 May 2015 8:51 AM

    I agree. I can make my face up all I want but without lipstick I look sick.

    TheBeatlesFan 18 May 2015 8:08 AM

    I need the confidence to WEAR lipstick. I am always worried I will look silly but I need to be bold and embrace it.

    Scarlet 18 May 2015 3:59 AM

    Bold lips used to scare me, until I found the perfect lipstick that I knew wouldn't come off as soon as a bit of moisture hit my lips

    Seashells 18 May 2015 1:53 AM

    Being fair-skinned & brunette, a bold/bolder lip is definitely my go-to when it comes to make-up - I rocked a raspberry pink colour on the weekend & enjoyed wearing it. It's so easy & quick to do. Besides, I can't do nude/neutral shades on my lips, I just look dead otherwise.

    Jessica712 18 May 2015 1:37 AM

    A pretty lipstick makes me feel happy.

    clearcrystalwater 17 May 2015 11:14 PM

    I can relate to fluffy puddy!

    Kassalee 17 May 2015 12:24 PM

    I'm a more natural lip look - don't like drawing attention to myself, but a bold lip is great for a special occasion.
