Recently my girlfriends and I had a lipstick discussion
about what we could and couldn’t pull off. Basically it consisted of me
convincing them that they too can pull off a bright pink or red. I think most
ladies can pull off a variety of colors, but they are simply too hesitant. I
rarely wear Candy Yum Yum to my corporate position, but I sure do love to rock
that color on the weekends. The trick to wearing bright and colorful lipstick
is seriously to ease yourself into it. Below are a few of my favorites.

Revlon Colorbust Soft Nude (similar here)
Perfect for those first time lipstick wearers- It’s my
favorite nude shade nice and simple. It’s also a great price point.

MAC Snob (here)
This is a perfect starter pink in my opinion. If you’re not
convinced Candy Yum Yum is for you, try this one out.

Maybelline Brazen Berry (here)
Love this color, it’s the closest color I have to Pantone’s
color of the year Radiant Orchid.

MAC Candy Yum Yum (here)
Bright and pink, it’s so fun to add some personality to any look.
MAC Odyssey
A great pinky/berry/purple mix.
MAC Ruby Woo (here)
Classic red and my husband’s least favorite hue I wear.
MAC Rebel (here)
One of my favorites for winter, deep colored- it’s perfect for adding a little sass to your look.
Covergirl Euphoria (here)- I didn’t add the photo because through the pictures this and Rebel almost look the same. This is a great option for those who don’t want to spend 15-20 on a lipstick but still want a deep berry color.
P.s. I am still hosting the Instagram giveaway. Regram one of my photos with the hashtag #ValentinesDreamDate to win a free pair of shoes and $100.00 for dinner. You can find me @amy_cbandbp

You look great in lipstick. That is one area that I am afraid to venture into. I love bold lips but I am scared to death of looking crazy!!

Snob and Candy Yum Yum are two of my favorites too! I love all your picks and now I'm going to try and find that nude Revlon shade!

You look great in all of them but I think you look most amazing in the lighter colors, the first two are my FAVES. Btw, I think it's your eyes, but you remind me of Lauren Conrad!

You look fabulous in each of these! I love lipstick but I'm always worried about wearing them for some weird reason.
