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!
