Now that I'm fully vaccinated and I've been taking my mask off more (when it's safe and while following guidelines, of course), I'm back to sporting my favorite lipsticks, lip glosses,
and lip stains. As someone who used to rely on a bold lip to carry my whole makeup look, I'm really grateful for the opportunity to coat my lips in color. You see, I normally like to keep my everyday makeup look pretty minimal—some concealer, mascara, and a brow product—so when I wanted to take things up a notch but still wanted to keep my lazy, low-maintenance routine, I just applied a bold lip color and that was it.
Of course, for the past two years, I haven't worn a ton of lip products because of all the mask-wearing I was doing. And anyway, it's not like I even wore makeup most days! But now that things are opening back up and I'm heading out more, it's prime time for me to try some bold new lip looks.
