I hardly ever leave the house without earrings and lipstick. Maybelline usually shades of pink/plum. I look awful,without it,,

Earings and lipstick for me, no other makeup required. I have a pale skin and lipstick brightens it up.

There are many shades of red of course. It was interesting that lipstick was considered so important during the war. A recognised morale booster.

Red lipstick is a bit marmite, I'd say - it suits other people, but I don't like it on me at all.
But, certainly all hail, GNers to the power of make up for uplift.

Thank you Lexisgranny, pack of three ordered.

Don't worry germanshepherdsmum she's obviously not seen the positive transformation that red lipstick can lead to.

I always, always use lip liner and tinted lipgloss or lipstick I too have several, if I go out I put one in my pocket. I not a handbag person.

Thanks for that comment MacGran.

I always wear lipstick or lip gloss as my lips become very dry. I wear Avon Twinkle Pink and No7 Pink Lemonade.Both of these are very reasonably priced.I read in magazines about lipsticks costing £30 or more and wonder who would pay that .My Avon one I buy on offer at £5. I think bright red lipsticks are awful.

teabagwoman if all else fails I think Amazon do Lipcote in packs of three. BeEmerald I’m with you….I would love to wear red lipstick, but have never found one to suit.

Well I put on eye make up and my new lipstick (Estée Lauder Carnal!) as I was meeting someone I hadn't seen for years. I looked great (I thought, well an improvement anyway) so I've resolved to keep it up. I also wore my earrings, perfume and rings.

Max Factor Lipfinity 2-stage lip stick lasts all day. Used it for many, many years. Lots of range of colours. I use different shades for how I’m feeling that day. Normally wear pinky red shades but suffice to say I used a lot of dark reds during lockdown. I have no natural beauty & the little I did have is fleeing with every passing year, so powder, blusher & lipstick everyday are essential.

Fanny, the only red lippy I’ve found that suits me is Poppy by Look Fabulous Forever. Give it a try (the ordinary one - I gather their long lasting ones come up a slightly different shade).

I always used to use Lipcote over my lipstick which made it last longer but can’t seem to get it now. Anyone else use it/know where I can get hold of it?

I've got several lipsticks too - and don't go out without a bit of lippy on even if it wears off fairly quickly.
Any suggestions welcome on lipsticks that actually stay on for most of the day
I'm also an earring wearer too. Just makes me feel good

I've got about 12 lipsticks (like Serendipity22, I always have about 5 in my bag. I don't go anywhere without my full face on!

Over the years I’ve seen articles in magazines declaring that there’s a red lipstick for every woman depending on whether your lips have a cool or warm hue. Congratulation OP on finding the one for you ! Unfortunately I’ve never ever found one.
Despite being an old wrinkly now I still like a bit of lippy. My favourite was Elizabeth Arden Coral Fizz but it’s discontinued now. I like a soft coral colour over Nivea lip balm.

Another daily earring wearer here.

Feel weird without. Mostly dangly and colourful but hoops for tennis.

I had mine pierced the day DD started school. Unfortunately whilst out for dinner with DH's colleagues, I knocked my ear and the front of a magnetic pair landed in his superiors starter. Which made my mind up even though MIL thought them "common" and like Gypsys.
I wore anything until I got a dangly one pulled at work by a child who had lost their temper.
I now wear some kind of studs during the week and anything I fancy at the weekends.
As for red lipstick, I have a Mac pencil that is a bit dry but does not run into the wrinkles around my mouth. Mostly I wear a corally colour.
A bit of lippy and makeup cheers me up.

I never wear lipstick.
I have a very small mouth which it makes look smaller, but worst of all I have never found one which doesn’t make my teeth look a revolting colour. I must be blessed with yellowish teeth.
Instead I wear lots of eye makeup.
I am addicted to lip balm though.
I haven’t been out for ages so haven’t worn makeup for a while; after having worn it daily from the age of 15.
I wear jewellery every day, just around the house.

I used to hate the feel of lipstick on my lips and if I wore any it would usually be licked off in no time. As I’ve got older, I agree that lips need a bit of colour. I now wear a light tinted gloss, I’ve tried several makes, but the do keep discontinuing them.
I also always wear earrings and perfume. Even during lockdown.

I've got out of the habit of wearing makeup, especially lipstick, with having to wear a mask

Must buck up.

I have never worn bright red lipstick. In the 60s my favourite colours were Arden's Silver Coral and Silver Pink. Alas, they were discontinued in the 70s. I still favour that kind of shade and am unlikely to change now.
I, too, always wear earrings. Wearing a mask, I stuck to studs as they were less likely to get caught in the elastic. Now I feel safe to wear my favourite dangly ones.

I haven't worn lipstick for maybe 20 years... but would not be "dressed" without perfume!

Lipstick is a cheap ‘facelift’

Well I am sassy always have been I always wore red lipstick. Since losing my luscious vibrant hair colour I have toned it down a bit but only just a bit.
I have given my husband instruction if I die before him I must have my lipstick on being without it is being undressed.
