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?

    Foundation ranges from bare minerals to full coverage. Find the one that doesn’t leave an obvious line at your jawline. See photos of Donald Trump where his eyes, neck, ears are white but he has some darker stuff on his face - don’t do that. In the right color and coverage, and formulation foundation looks beautiful.

      It’s so much easier to find a good match now that many brands have a huge range of shades and undertones to choose from, instead of the ten shades of medium beige that were available when I was younger.
