Ladies, maybe it's just me...but when I wear a bold lip color, I feel like it's very jarring and bright. I was always a gloss girl, but I've been venturing out and trying bold lip colors, but they still look weird to me. I try to wear it in confidence, but in all reality...I feel like the lipstick wears me, I'm not really wearing the lipstick.

Does it take some getting used to? Am I doing it wrong? Any advice is welcomed!

It does take some getting used to, I'm used to wearing softer neutral colors and have also ventured out...I feel the same as you when I wear darker colors...here is my dark lippie.

Thanks ladies!! @seph, I'm glad I'm not the only one!! It's still very odd for me, but it's growing on me. Thanks for the feedback!

Its definitely an adjustment but after a while I don't even think about it. Especially with this yucky weather a bright lip lifts my mood. Both look great on you Meagan...especially that red. And Seph I love that dark lippie...what is the make and model on that one? lol.

Meagan I have the same problem with my red velvet, I feel I look clown like, too bright. But the ladies on here says it looks good. It takes me a while to get used to bright, but I can hand dark easier. I love the red on you. The purple is pretty too. Seph you already know I love that color on you =)

A bold lip looks greasy on you Meagan! It took me a while to get comfortable with a bold lip too.

Nothing makes me happier than a bold lip and smelling good! I love to see people with bold lip colors. Gives them an entire different vibe. I think they look great on you. If you feel uncomfortable at first start with a lighter pigmented lipcolor of your choice and slowly build the confidence to bolder colors

I also think you are balancing your makeup well for a bold lip. There is nothing wrong at all with a bold eye and lip together but in the beginning when you first start seeing yourself with bold lipstick, a more subtle eye coupled with it can help you get use to seeing that bright pop if color on your face. It looks really lovely on you dear.

Omg I just realized my first comment said greasy when it was supposed to say great! I'm sure everyone was like wow what a Bitch! Oopsy.

It definitely takes some getting used to. I'm still getting used to certain shades.. I'm a gloss girl too. it looks good in you Meagan.
s Tara, I had no idea what greasy was supp to be but I thought it was a new word like bad means good. I don't know. I'm old. Lmao!
