I’m not an everyday makeup user, but I wanted a lil something to make me feel more out together/casually sexy and a light lip color has been a game changer!
I’m talking a tinted lip gloss or lip crayon or lip stain - low maintenance, isn’t gonna get on my teeth, is hard to mess up, and looks good as it fades throughout the day. Makes me feel so powerful!!! And pouty🫦💋

I used to do it the natural way by eating red candies, fruits (prickly pears do a great job), or lemons (the citric acid would react with my lips to make it more plump and red).
Currently in love with the Sacheu Lip Tint, i use the shade Muah-ve. It takes 5 mins and will last all night. I apply it as a lip liner & inner triangles on my top and bottom lip to give them a little contour and plump, then go over with a clear gloss. ✨✨

My mother always told me to "wear lipstick!" but I never took the advice until now. I spend my nights working in a r*staurant and sometimes putting on a smokey eye that looks equal parts intentional and equal parts slept in is a pain in the ass. So I heed my mother's advice and put on a red lip and nothing else. It's chic to the point that my coworkers have asked me "Where's your lipstick?" when I don't wear it. My signature color is Bad Blood by Urban Decay <3

I did it once out of necessity and my friend said I looked hot doing it. It's really not difficult and I'll make any easy small change that ups my sex appeal. The goal this summer is to be even more young and turnt than I already am.
Maybe get a little slutty with it, ask a crush to borrow their phone camera to refresh your makeup and reapply your lipgloss in their personal space, the opportunities are endless really.

Think: driving them to the airport during rush hour, moving furniture on a summer day, (in my case, see photo) cutting away at their badly overgrown garden when you are not a gardening gal. Or painting their bedroom on a whim, replacing their windshield fluid, or wrangling their demon cat for a trip to the vet.
I read a Manrepeller article (RIP) years ago that talked about how helping friends with these tedious, unrewarding tasks is where the real work of friendship begins. You don’t get so see how they get frustrated over brunch, but you do when you’re both unsuccessfully dragging a couch around a staircase corner, and getting To bond and troubleshoot that frustration opens whole new doors for closeness. This wisdom has never led me astray! I almost always leave these kinds of labor-based hangouts feeling closer and more held in friendship!
