Hey, girls! I have this problem where lipstick/gloss/any pigmented lip product makes my lips look weird and oversized. No color, no matter how neutral, looks right. I would also kill to be able to wear red lipstick without looking clownish, but nothing works. Does anyone have any go-to colors to try or tips to even my face out?
Any help is appreciated!

Sometimes it just takes getting used to a new look :)
But I find that a berry color looks lovely on everybody. Get a stain or pencil with a precise applicator and shape out your lips in a way so that you're satisfied. Stay away from glosses and shimmer as the reflection can make lips appear larger.
Good luck!

Maybe a matte plum could look really pretty.

I honestly think you could pull off a kill red, but it will take a little while to get use to. But to start of with try nudes like mac hue and starlooks cream caramel! x
