Makeup Transformation: From Bare Lip to Bold Lip (Guess to Win!)

Posted by ChickAdvisor Team | Wednesday June 22, 2011

Ever felt a little ho-hum and then put on some lipstick and felt magically transformed? Or, do you prefer to keep it simple with a bit of lip balm as you head out the door? We're firm believers in the power of face paint, so we thought we'd do a side-by-side comparison and see what you think: Bare lip or bold lip, what's better?

Alexandra with her bare lip, and wearing Revlon Matte Lipstick in Fabulous Fig, a berry shade that looks lovely with her deep brown eyes.

Tasha takes her lip from light to bright, wearing Lise Watier Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss in Mango Punch, a vivid coral.

Jenni looks lovely with her cat eyes—at right she swiped on Guerlain KissKiss Peche Fougueuse 541, a creamy peach with a touch of red.

Tammy goes for a classic: M.A.C Lipstick in Russian Red, a matte formula with blue undertones that's super flattering on most skin tones.

What do you like better, a bare lip or a bold lip? Tell us in the comments below and get entered to win a beauty prize (it'll be one of the five we're giving away this week, check out this article to see what they are).

I personally like the strong lip better, but either way everyone looks fantastic as always :) I have green/gray eyes - I have always wondered if strong lipstick would overpower my eyes? I usually go heavier on eye makeup and stick with a tinted gloss on my lips. I also wear glasses (actually prefer them over contacts usually), so I have that to compete with everything.
