The Power of Lipstick

Ana- All of us viejas have one or more features in our faces we like to accentuate. Maybe is the eyebrows, eyelashes, eye color, or cheek bones. In my case I have no choice. It has to be the lips. I have suffered from rosacea for a long time now so any other feature is really off limits. Lipstick has the power of brightening up my face. I look for colors that complement my skin tone and can become part of my outfit.

I do pay attention to keeping the color within my lip outline and I am always looking for bold new shades.

Corina- I do not wear much make-up but lipstick I couldn’t do without. The right shade is not only flattering but a mood enhancer. Lipstick is so cheerful and dramatic that when I apply; it changes the look of my face, improves my mood, and elevates my outfit. I wear lipstick everyday even when at home; and yes, I wear it under my mask. Lipstick always “fits” and there is so much choice when it comes to shades, types, and brands that buying or searching for new ones never gets boring. I always use a lip balm and a lip scrub to keep my lips hydrated as well as a lip liner to avoid color bleeding. I wear medium hues for winter and bright ones for summer in a creamy or satin finish for added hydration and longer wear.
