"Pour yourself a drink put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together" -Elizabeth Taylor

This is probably one of my favorite quotes. We all have those times where we are sad, stressed, lonely, and don’t feel like doing anything. Funny thing is, what would be the best thing is to get the booty out of bed, moving around and hanging out with the people you adore. Lipstick can go a long way when it comes to a woman feeling sexy, sultry, and well, like a woman. There are definitely different colors to match a mood. For the girl that isn’t a peppy cheerleader all the time, and wants some tips on feeling beautiful on the outside while your insides are feeling crummy, (he’s not worth it) here are some shades to lift the mood, and plump up those kissers.

Situation 1: Your friends are dragging you out because you are still bummed about a break-up. You don’t feel like hitting the dance floor, but maybe sit at the bar and have a few drinks and talk. You want to look good but not ready to be gawked at again. Try this: Whitening Lightening Nude lip gloss

Situation 2: Have to go out because of a work related event that you do not want to show up to but are required to look presentable and approachable:

Situation 3: You’re done with the sadness phase and moving onto the anger phase. Screw him, you are a woman, time to roar girl, and dance. Try this: Mac Ruby Woo

 

Situation 4: You are going to a friend’s birthday party that is mutual friends with your ex. You want him to eat his heart out, but not seem like you are trying to hard: Mac Candy Yum Yum

Situation 5: Going to the chill, more adult vibe side of town and want your lipstick to match the candlelit mood of the trendy bar: Too Faced Melted in Violet

Situation 6: At that trendy bar you happen to spark conversation with the handsome waiter and he asked you out after his shift. You’re going out on your first date and want to impress but not overdo it: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Voupte in Nude Beige

Life can deal you a rotten hand some days. But you don’t have to look rotten on the outside. Take my friend Liz Taylor’s advice (maybe not overdo it on the drinks) but pull yourself together. You are beautiful and lipstick or not, the world should know it!
