My favorite low maintenance lip colors.
With school in full swing, I'm back into wearing very low maintenance lip colors. I don't want to be worrying about if I have lipstick wearing off poorly or transfer onto the teeth. The problem is I sometimes still look a bit young to be teaching high school kids. Just this week during a fire drill I told a kid to get out of the street he responded with "Oh sh*t I didn't know you were a teacher!" I have had plenty of kids come in to my room and can't find their teacher... in my head I say "seriously you think a student wears dress pants and a blouse to class?" Anyway, I like to wear a bit more makeup, usually involving a brighter lip color. I don't want to age myself but I try to look more polished. I keep the rest of my makeup simple because at this point I take sleep over eye shadow, most days. So I wanted to round up 5 of my absolute favorite no fuss lip colors.
TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint - $6
I am such a fan of a red lip, but I fear the maintenance it takes to pull it off. This Tony Moly tint is perfect for creating a red lip that wears well. I reach for this all the time during the holidays and for evenings out.
ARROW BOOST Color Enhancing Lip Balm - $14
Applies like a chapstick, no mirror needed. I received this in my Birchbox subscription ago and I love it. This claims to automatically adjust to your body's pH to create a unique to you perfect pink. On my I usually get a really pretty pink with a bit of a sheen, it didn't swatch well on my arm but trust me this is a great lip product. I keep this in my bag at school all the time, it is my daily go to.
Elizabeth Mott Tint and Sass - $15
Sometime I forget how much I love this color. I received it in my Ipsy subscription a few years back, and it lasts forever. This red tint has the prettiest blue undertone that works perfectly with my skin tone.
Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - $9.49
These Revlon lip colors are great from the drugstore. I love the colors sweetheart & honey. Sweetheart is a bright pink, BRIGHT. Honey is a really pretty mauve neutral pink. It is perfect if you don't love bright color. This starts glossy and wears down to a wonderful stain.
This is a bright pink lip stain that lasts until lunch for me. It is a bit on the runny side, but it builds nicely. My absolute favorite lip stain was by a Korean brand that suddenly stopped selling in the U.S., so this is the closest that exists on the market.
