I have never gotten into wearing lip products (or really anything on my lips aside from regular Burt’s bees chapstick). I don’t know why but I just feel so uncomfortable and garish whenever I have any lip stuff on….I think maybe part of it is a texture thing for me? Like, glosses are super sticky and don’t stay on, matte or long lasting lipsticks crack and dry my lips out….I wear a full face everyday but just can’t take the plunge on committing to lip stuff. If I put it on, I wipe it off within 10 minutes.

What do other people consider a daily essential that you just can’t abide? Why do you think that is?

PS do any of you think it’s crazy to imagine full glam minus colored lips? Am I crazy?

ETA spelling

    I hate lip products too. Wear them very rarely. No, I don’t think full glam minus coloured lips looks weird.

    Also we all look so different and have such different skin and preferences that all this makes a lot of sense to me – if my face looked different and I liked different aesthetics, maybe lipstick would be my favourite thing.

      Thanks for the solidarity! It’s funny but I just always feel like I look like a clown with color on my lips 🤷‍♀️

      I also never do lipstick and I don’t like any other color than my natural lip color. My full glam is all neutral colors so I think my lips look better with the natural color, but I also think any color eyeshadow also makes me look like a clown so I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ lip gloss all day if I’m doing a slicked back because I can’t do hair sticking to my mouth .
