I Will Conquer The Beast: 2013 Lipstick Challenges

I talk about this all the time on the blog, but I am not good with lipstick. My good friend and fellow blogger Sara from Belfast Beauty Love is a major lipstick aficionado and all round good egg. She frequently gets regaled with my 'look I'm wearing lipstick' tweets, like I'm five years old. Anyway I have made it my mission to conquer the lipstick beast this year. So far I'm not exactly doing amazingly but I am trying to put aside all my objections to wearing lipstick.

Non lipstick face!

But for those interested here's my objections:

1. When I wear lippie I'm constantly in a state of panic that it's on my teeth, that it's worn off, that it's gone wonky etc.

2. I feel like I have too much make up on. It's a tiny thing but I feel more 'made up' with it.

3. I have this thought in my head that it's really ageing, I think it's that granny with fuschia lipstick smeared over half the face thing.

What do you guys think?

Anyway today I gave it another crack, I grabbed my favourite dark 1920s red, it's 17 Supreme Shine in Rich. I whacked on my lipliner all over my lips like Sara told me to and off I went. I snapped some pictures when I came home, do you all love my teddy hoodie by the way?

Getting my face lipsticked

Do you like my brows by the way? I moved the arch.

Oh and because I couldn't resist showing my real feelings about wearing lipstick....

And that's how I feel about that.

Much love and lipstick
