All The Best Red, White, & Blue Lipsticks
Independence Day is nearing, and you know what that means" Time to stock up on red, white, and blue lipsticks for the Fourth of July. America's birthday calls for bringing out the best-of-the-best. No dull shades or short-lived colors here. These lipsticks have to withstand a full day of BBQs and fireworks, and still look flawless for photos.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Red is an everyday shade, but white and blue are a little out of the ordinary. Never fear! There are shades out there suitable for everyone. Whether you're into sparkle or are going for a matte look, there is a red, white, or blue lipstick perfect for you. Just have a little faith and a steady hand, and you’ll be on your way to perfect lips.
Wondering what color will be perfect for your Independence Day celebrations? Just keep in mind your activities. Planning on doing a lot of eating and drinking? Choose a color that's less likely to noticeably smear (white). Thinking of partying the night away way after the fireworks are over? Be daring and choose a dark navy lip color. Bouncing around from family party to sparklers with friends and back again? A classic crimson might be your best bet. Either way, a holiday is a perfect excuse to try out a new shade. Here are a few of my favorite red, white, and blue lipsticks to jumpstart your shopping.
