Fall Makeup: Lip Stain


I love this lip-stain look for the fall! Super-shiny lipstick can be too holiday, too fancy sometimes, but the lip stain looks strong yet still a bit casual. The color here is beautiful.

In real life, I don't see very many girls wear strong lipstick in California, because whatever you say, for me, bright lipstick is a cold-weather move. Also, bright lipstick is a sign of a polished girl who knows how to deal with getting it on your teeth, your wine glass, your boyfriend's shirt...
And let's face it, California is not into polish. This is where beachy-bed-head (not just unbrushed hair, but really messy unbrushed hair straight from beach) was invented.

But really, looking at all the runway pictures, few things are prettier than a bare face with a strong mouth, especially if you have the asian pout.
And stains are really the way to rock this look if you want something
that's fairly no-fuss. So I'm gonna go shopping for stains today
and try my hand at being more polished...

About Me

A twenty-something who refuses to waste 4 years of training as a Comparative Literature-ist just because it is now time to be a Landscape Architect. Old books were recycled as door stops and wall insulation. Delightfully obtuse philological arguments were dusted off and re-used as noveau swear words. Now it's time to put that skill of connecting ridiculously different ideas together and making them fizz. Feel free to comment and join in on the fun!
