I have always loved bright-colored lipstick but never felt comfortable wearing it. Ā I’d put on a bright red or hot pink fuchsia lipstick and immediately rub it off. Ā I’ve recently learned how to wear bright lipstick and how to feel comfortable wearing it. Ā For the purpose of this post I’ve chosen a lipstick from Red Apple Lipstick in the color Reddy or Not. Ā Any bright or dark lipstick from your collection should work just fine for applying with this method
To apply my lipstick and get a stain like effect I dab the lipstick from the tube directly on to my lips. Ā I then use my fingers to press the lipstick into my lips. Ā This gives my lips a touch of bright color rather than screaming “I am wearing bright red lipstick today.” Ā The lipstick looks more sheer with this method. Ā You can do this with any color and texture of lipstick. Ā This is the perfect way to wear a bright lipstick and stay in your comfort zone. Ā I like this for daytime makeup looks.
When I’m ready to let my hair down, so to speak, I go full-on with my bright lipstick application. Ā I apply it directly to my lips and often add more than one layer. Ā I personally prefer to save bright lipstick for evenings and special occasions.
Do you wear bright lipstick? Ā What’s your preferred method to apply it?

My grandmother used to say that a woman wasn’t fully dressed unless she had on her lipstick!

Lipstick is so fun. I have to make sure my lips aren’t chapped to wear it properly, though.
Stacie says
I agree! Don’t waste your lipstick if you haven’t prepped your lips! Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

I usually shy away from it, but lately I have been using it- my favorite is a shade from NYX right now.
