Here I am with NO lipstick. I own a bunch of lipstick but I hardly ever wear it.
I blame Scott, when we were first married I had just put on a Clinique lipstick called NudeNude. I walked seductively in the room & Scott said "Did you eat a purple popcicle or something?"
NudeNude is too much for my man. He likes me a naturale, but I do like to get dolled up.
There is just something terribly "dressed up" about lipstick to me. I used to feel that way about mascara but I wore it for a week straight then I wasn't as freaked out by it.
That's what I'm going to try here- you guys tell me which color you like best, then I'm going to try to wear it for a week & see if it becomes normal.
P.S. Please, PLEASE IGNORE my scary faces. Reasons I look weird:
1. If I smile then my lips disappear (then you can't see the lipstick)
2. I haven't slept well in DAYS (kids + husband coughing all night)
3. I am wearing a hat b/c we had some hat-hair issues

Is it just me or am I a bit saucier with darker lipstick?
i like #3 and #5.
and #1 but its not as obvious that you are wearing it. which could be a good thing. could be not a good thing.
I like 5 and 6, but none of them look bad on you. You could wear any of them with the right outfit.
I vote for 2, 5, and 6. Classy, but not tacky. More intense colors like #4 are great for a night out dancing, a restaurant, outdoors, or anywhere the lights will be dim. Under low light, the subtle things disappear.
#6 for sure
i also vote 5 or 6, five being my favorite... I feel weird wearing lipstick too, but mostly because it leaves that awful taste in my mouth. perhaps I will try to wear lipstick sometime too
number 5 and number 6. i like them lots! and i really like your outfit in your post below...with the stripes and hat and the awesome sunglasses! SO cute!
I'm jumping on the bandwagon with 5 & 6. I like the little shimmer that 6 has. I think 5 looks very natural and beautiful, which is very you!
Definately #4, and then go around kissing everyone on the cheeks/forehead!! Hotdog yeah
my favs for every day are 2, 5, 6. I'd say 3, 4 if you're going out at night or something with the hubs or girls night out. :P)
For everyday at home, I think #2 looks the best. For stepping out, depending on your outfit, #3-6 would look good. I think that #1 is too plain for you.
Oh, and by the way, I just started wearing lipstick this last year (finally found a shade I love) and it makes me feel all dressed up too.
i am a HUGE fan of the #4, the bright red is HOT. I say rock it anytime like that rockstar diaries girl. You look GOOD in that! It would be all over my teeth if i tried it.
I like 2 and 5 the best! It brings out something in your eyes! Love the lipstick idea!
I like 1 or 6
Seriously, any of them! Maybe not 6, but definitely 3! Some of your commenters are shy of the brighter colors - but that's what lipstick is about now, and it totally works with your style.
There is no reason why you shouldn't be wearing 1, 2, or 5 on a daily basis with no reason for putting it on except "just because"
You are so funny! I vote #6.
I have a ton too but always chicken out wearing them. I'm more of a gloss kinda gal. :)
Number 5 is my first choice, number 6 is my second choice.
Oh, and I read in a magazine once that if you do up the eyes, you should play down the lips, and vice versa. So if you go for the bright lipstick, just do a minimal eye--like just mascara on curled lashes.
After I read that, I started noticing that that's what all the chic celebrities do, so there must be something to it.
Yeah 5 is my top choice like others have said! Like Heather said, it could be for every day!
