How many lipsticks do you own? How many do you really use? 

How many of them did you throw, as they expired, and realized, 'ahh! I wish I used it a little more'.

These are the best questions we can ask ourselves to build a perfect custom fit lipstick kit. A trip to the cosmetic store or the cosmetic section of a drugstore and we walk out buying a new lipstick very often. Lipstick is the most basic yet most alluring of all the makeup items. The gorgeous color collections of the lipstick world is captivating. The options are endless. But like for everything, the most important thing is a strong foundation. 

All the colors available, fall in few major categories. 2 colors from each category; one light another dark or one bright another neutral; is a great start of a basic kit that will fit every occasion.

Mauves/Plums 

My favs are; 

Maybelline Color Sensational Mauve Mania, Dior Catwalk Mauve, Clinique A Different Grape

Nudes/Browns 

My favs are; 

Revlon Super lustrous Sandalwood Beige, Revlon Super Lustrous Pink Pearl, Nars Sheer Autumn Leaves

Reds

My favs are: 

MAC Russian Red, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids On Fire Red

Pinks 

My favs are; 

Revlon Super Lustrous Softsilver Rose, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Vivid Rose, NARS Bright Fuchisa

Corals

My favs are; 

NYX Femme, NYX Cherry Cheese Cake, MAC Vegas Bolt, Maybelline Stay With Me Coral

My favs are based on my medium color skin with neutral undertones. All the major color categories have several shades to match your undertones. Pick up those that light up your face. 

Another important thing to keep in my mind is texture. Each one has its own needs. However, I still believe cremes and satins can always be the go to texture. Layer them to get deeper pigments or just apply one layer to keep it sober. I have been a fan of sheer lip glosses  They come handy to jazz up any lip color for those special occasions. 

These categories are just to get started with a perfect kit. But play with all the beautiful colors and keep building your collection.

Have a great weekend all!
