Pout Addicts: 10 Things only lipstick lovers would understand

While some might think wearing lipstick is a chore, there are some things about rocking a lip shade that only you can understand. In other words, a lipstick addict.

Wearing a lipstick isn’t always an ideal situation of glitz and glamour for us ladies. Think of it as our version of first world problems as there are many things us lipstick junkies face each day. That moment starts from the minute we remove the cover of our lipstick bullets.

#1: LIP SHADE DILEMMA

Ladies, can we all agree that deciding on the lip colour of the day is no less important than making a life-changing decision? It’s as important as clinching a business deal. The last thing we would want to say after we step out of the door is – What on earth is that shade and why am I wearing it?

#2: MY LIPSTICK AND MOOD GOES HAND IN HAND

This goes out to all those who always ask “Why are you wearing such a dark lip shade?” When our mood changes, so does the shade of our lipsticks. When we are going through the time of the month for example, it does not make any “beauty-sense” to rock M.A.C Candy Yum Yum (i.e bright pink-toned lipstick). Our lipstick addict clan would rather stick to rusty browns and deep plums, thank you.

#3: Lipstick stains

If you thought Sudoku was tough, think again. There’s nothing worse than getting lipstick stains on a white outfit. Managing your lipstick shade and avoiding it from becoming a hot mess on your clothes or your partner’s should be a sport.

#4: YES, I STILL REQUIRE 101 RED LIPSTICKS

Chances are you’ll feel that all the red lipsticks look the same. Correction, there is a difference and it happens to be one that only we would understand. That difference has to do with undertones. While one red lipstick might have orange undertones, another might have blue. Another red lipstick? Yes please.

#5: STRAWS AND ME? #ITSCOMPLICATED

Yes, it’s a complicated relationship. Whatever we are sipping on will just end up fading before lunch time and that calls for constant touch ups (not a favourite activity). Well… at least we would know which drink is ours on the table.

#6: IS IT ON MY TEETH?

This scares the living daylights of us till date. There is nothing worse than getting lipstick all over your teeth and not knowing about it. What if people know but they choose to keep quiet? Oh just tell me already!

#7: I ALWAYS HAVE A COMPACT WITH ME

Reapplying and touching up your lipstick about 20 times a day is just standard. Thank the beauty gods for letting us know that carrying a compact is key. You never know when you might just need to whip it out.

#8:BURGERS AND ME? NO WAY

We would have tried a thousand different ways to avoid this situation but eating a burger would not be complete without eating 2 grams of your own lipstick.
