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’m a cosplayer, so my list has grown more narrow over the years, but for my personal makeup: blush, contour, foundation, lipstick.
I can manage it when I need to but I don’t generally like them. Blush and contour are too harsh for my soft features; unless I’m deliberately altering my face or highlighting my features, it just feels wrong. Foundation can feel stifling and my complexion is difficult to match, so I just try to skip it. I don’t like how full my lips are, so I try to avoid drawing attention to them as much as possible. I also work long days without many breaks to touch them up, so it’s just not worth the effort.
