lipstick for boring old people (me)

On point.

So, today I rediscovered this Une Lip-toned Colour lipstick I have. I wore it basically nonstop in my first year at university (once I figured that makeup shit out) and I'm pretty pleased with that because overall, for real, I was a little asshole makeup wise. I had no idea what I was doing. I'm not gonna show you a picture, because it was for real embarrassing. Think heavy eye ~and~ heavy brow, and I have a damn baby face so it was awful.

But. BUT. This lipstick was on point. This guy is everything I love in a lipstick: it's matte, it goes on smooth, it hides the like, canyon sized cracks in my lips, it's in one of those tiny skinny tubes that I loooove for some reason, and it's totally lip-toned. Not toned like my lips, because I have thin lips that go basically invisible when I'm cold (all the time). Pretty sure if I did a real nude lip people would be asking me if I was sick all the time, all 'your face is so colourless, you alright?' And then I'd hiss and try to crawl into their jacket for warmth. This stuff is like, it's what your lips would look like if they were nice. It's someone else's lip colour. It's like, hot-Emily lip colour. So I was wearing this today and felt pretty happy with it! And was like, maybe I will go for a lip-toned lip, maybe that's how I'll do winter? But then I went into Boots and bought a hot pink-coral lipstick called GAY GERANIUM by No. 7 and it's basically neon because cold weather can't tell me nothing.
