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
Apparently it was only invented around the golden age of Hollywood in the 30s to be worn by actresses on screen. It looked good on camera but extremely cakey in real life. It was never intended for everyday wear for ordinary women.
I didn’t know that! It makes sense though. In some older movies you can really see the awful make up these days with our high res TVs…
I bet there was a bit of a rocky transition from stage makeup to studio makeup
