Now, this isn’t something I hear often, but I often witness it being thrown around as a compliment. Stop. Wearing Make up should never be about whether you do or don’t need too. It’s about wearing it because you want too. This goes the same for when people say you should never wear make up to impress someone. If you want too, then you should. But for no other reason. If you think enhancing your natural beauty is something you want to do whether going on a date or going to the super market. Then you go for it, wear it with pride. If it makes you confident, if it makes you happy, if it makes you look in the mirror and be able to say “hey, I don’t look so bad” then you do whatever you please. No one needs make up, we want make up. That’s the bottom line, and whether you want to or not is up too you. But it does not and will not define how beautiful you are.
And you are beautiful.
I know people don’t realize how tacky “you don’t need make up” sounds, yes you are intending to tell someone that they are beautiful with out it. But it often (well at least in my head) comes off as “you look stupid wearing make up” I don’t care if people think I need it or not. I covered my face in whatever I please because it makes me happy.
You should always do what makes you happy!
This is something I wrote on my Tumblr a few months ago, I got quite a positive response to it on there but considering this is not only my beauty blog, but my writing blog, I figured it would be appropriate to leave it here too. Now that I read back on it, the wording could've been a lot better, but i've left it unchanged because it still puts the point forward that I wanted to make.
Just remember how beautiful you are, make up or not.
I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and sorry about my lack of posts.
Also you can follow my blog with Bloglovin if thats something you might enjoy doing, it would make me smile loads.

hi, hello.
Todays post is about my obsession with (mostly red) lipstick.
It may or may not be a massive problem.......for my bank account. :P
I spent a lot of my youth making sooooooooooooooo many make up mistakes, especially back in my obsessive goth days *shudder* But, one thing I did do right was pick up my first tube of Red Lipstick, it actually wasn't even mine. So thanks friend for leaving it at my house! I'd been wearing horrible cheap black lipstick A LOT back then, but I remember the first time I ballsed up and wore a striking red lip in public, it was like compliment central. They always say when something makes you feel good, keep doing it, well red lips was that thing, I guess its almost a signature of mine now.
Its a choice that i know a lot of Beauty people would gasp at, but its in my every day makeup routine.
I honestly just don't suit nudes/pinks etc, I'm so Ghostly white that red stands out so much better, especially with my generally darker eyes.
(Top Row: Lime Crime Velvetine- Red Velvet, ModelCO- Kitty [this is musky pink but it was free], Rimmel Acpocalypse- Stellar, Chanel Rouge Allure- 104 Passion, Kate Moss by Rimmel- 107 x2 [matte], Lime crime- Glamour 101, MAC- MAC red [satin], Revlon- 477 Black Cherry, Australis Velourlips- NY-CEE, elf Matte Lip Colour- RichRed, Second Row: Lime Crime- Styletto [this is Black mostly used for halloween], Maybeline Super Stay 14 Hr-065 Ravishing Red, Kate Moss by Rimmel- 111 Kiss Of Life [matte], L'Oreal Infallible-312 Ravishing Red, KLARA cosmetics SAMPLE- 03 & 05, MAC- Ruby Woo [matte], Kate Moss by Rimmel- 10, Maybeline- 645 Red Revival, Rimmel Moisture Renew- 330 Sloane's Plum, Revlon- 477 Black Cherry [back up still in package because i love it so], Rimmel- 170 Alarm)
So, this is my not so impressive collection at the moment, i've been delving into wines/plums a lot lately since its heading into winter soon, much like reds, these darker colours just fill me with a new level of confidence. I have such an itching for more, I can't go very many places without picking more up.
I think red is a very hard colour to pull off, its a very daring and bold colour if you aren't confident in doing it. You either have to wear it with pride or not wear it. Its just one of those staple pieces that makes me feel put together when i'm rushing out the door. I would definitely recomend the Kate Moss by Rimmel if you are looking for something to start you off, or MAC's MAC red. I sometimes doubt my own choices, trust me, but I have to stick with my gut, if it makes me happy, thats all I can ask for.
If you would like some swatche's either on the lips or on the hand let me know, and i'll try and make that happen.
Are you a bold lip person? Whats your favourite part of wearing a bold lip? Whats your go-to or Holy Grail shade/brand? I'm really open and interested in some new stuff to add too this collection.
Leave a comment or throw us a follow and lets chat about all the glorious wonders of lipstick.
