Must Have Lipsticks that Every Woman Should Own!

Have you heard of “The Lipstick Effect”?

The Lipstick Effect is the theory that when facing an economic crisis, consumers will be more willing to buy less costly luxury goods. For example, instead of buying expensive fur coats, shoes or clothes, people will buy luxury cosmetics, such as lipstick to brighten their mood.  The underlying assumption is that consumers will buy luxury goods even if there is a crisis… just not higher ticket items.⁣  And let’s be honest… new lipstick = good vibes!  Am I right?  In the spirit of The Lipstick Effect, I’ve put together a list of Must Have Lipsticks, some fun and some classics.  I think we all deserve a new lipstick just for putting up with this crazy year called 2020! So go ahead and treat yourself! Here are the Top Five Lipsticks that every woman should Own.

💡 TIP:  The key to pulling off a Matte Lipstick on mature lips is preparation! Lightly exfoliate your lips morning and night with your toothbrush. Wet the toothbrush and rub around your lips in circles. Then apply lip balm for hydration prior to applying lipstick.  I love (Blistex Spf15 Deep Renewal Anti-aging Treatment).

4.  Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Bitch Perfect

I’d buy this just for the name alone.  Who doesn’t want to start the day wearing Bitch Perfect?😂 But that isn’t all this peach toned lipstick has going for it.  Made with a special blend of waxes, this lipstick glides over the contours of your lips, with no bleeding outside the lip line.  Light-diffusing pigments capture light on your lips and reflect it back out, giving your lips a multi-dimensional finish.  I’d expect nothing less from the reigning Queen of Lipsticks!
