It all starts with lipstick, the most basic yet also the most exciting of all makeup

products. The combination of waxes, pigments, emollients, and oils is sometimes

the easiest way to create a look, to express a mood, or simply to pick you up when

you are feeling blue.For both makeup artists and enthusiasts, choosing lipstick can

be pretty overwhelming because the options are truly endless.

As with most types of cosmetics, I recommend professionals carry lipsticks in

palettes to make room for a variety of color options in minimal space. There are

amazing pre-made palettes available (I like Three Custom Color and Cinema

Secrets). Or you can customize a palette to meet your personal needs, eitherputting it together on your own or using a flexible color system, like the Freedom

System from Inglot.

Keep in mind that all lips are different. The size and shape of the lip, the undertone,

. ,

have a wide range of lipsticks on hand in case you run into a challenge while on the

job. Here are my recommendations for a stellar lipstick collection that will help you

complete any task at hand.

Selecting the Right Texture

Because there are so many different lipstick textures, the thought of having to

choose one can be mind-numbing. Instead of blowing your budget on every singletype of texture, I suggest you keep a selection of matte options. You can easily

change the texture by layering shine or shimmer on top. But I do realize that some

artists don't like working with the texture of a matte lipstick, so Ive listed some of

the more basic texture categories that are versatile and nice to have in your kit.

Mattes:Matte lipsticks deliver fuller coverage

and lack shine. The pigment is usually higher

than other lipsticks, which means longer wear

without smudging or smearing. They can also be

the best option for women of color because the

pigment is so dense it makes the color really

pop. The down side: mattes can dehydrate the

lips and even age the mouth since they highlight

wrinkles.

Satins and Creams:Both of these are great for

everyday use because they wear well and, inmost cases, deliver medium coverage. Plus, the

high moisture level makes application easy.

Frosts:These are more subtle in color because

the density of minerals in the formula work toreduce the color payoff in the pigment. Frosts

dont always work on darker complexions; they

tend to be so light that all you end up seeing is

the texture of the product. Also keep in mind

that even though they can be fun to use in

creating certain looks, frost can make your

overall makeup feel dated.

Sheers:Sheers add a kissable tint to any pout.

They last longer than a gloss and are great for

when you want the lips to whisper for attention

rather than shouting for it.

Selecting the Right Color

Of all the colors available, they broadly fall into one of two categoriesbrights and

neutrals. Below see a further breakdown.

BrightsReds: A classic and must-have shade that will

never go out of style. Cover your bases by

collecting both blue- and orange-based reds.

Then, once you know you need a product with a

certain undertone, you can look for reds that fit

that and manipulate them to fit your needs.

Some of my faves: MAC Lipstick in Russian Red,MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo, Inglot Lipstick in

126 Cream, Inglot Lipstick in 103 Cream, and

Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in

Cherries in the Snow

Pinks:From baby pink and dusty rose to

carnation and fuschia, pinks come in a broad

range of shades you could describe as soft, pale,

deep, or rich. A bright pink can be just as

glamorous as a red, so try to include some in

your kit! Some of my faves: NARS Semi-Matte

Lipstick in Schiap, Inglot Lipstick in 231 Cream,

Anna Sui Lipstick in 300, Burberry Lip Mist in

Petal Pink, and Anna Sui Lipstick in 305

Oranges and Corals:While a lot of people

dismiss orange shades, this color family helps to

get rid of blue tones in the complexion while also

brightening skin. You can really accomplish a lot

with a palette of bright corals, deep oranges,

and pale peaches. Some of my faves: L'Oreal

Colour Riche Caresse Stick Lipstick in Sunset

Angora, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lip

color in Electric Orange, Make Up For EverRouge Artist Intense Lipstick in Satin Coral,

Anna Sui Lipstick in 601, Ardency Inn Modster

Long Play Lip Color in Kick

4/11

Taupes and Browns:Taupes are very versatile in

that they work well with both dramatic or

natural looks. And because taupes have more of

a rich and deep finish than most nudes, they are

great for matching your natural lip color.

Browns are similar; they can be bold on someone

with a light skin tone or have more of a natural

feel on dark complexions. I love them for fall.

Some of my faves: Anna Sui Lipstick in 703, Dior

Addict Lipstick in Beige Casual, Too Faced La

Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream in Naughty

Nude, YSL Rose Volupte Lipstick in Sensual, Tom

Ford Sable Smoke, and MAC Lipstick in Film

Noir

Nudes:Nudes tend to work well on all skin tonesand ages. Pink- and peach-based shades are an

easy way to complete any makeup look. Some of

my faves: Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in

Nude Delight, NARS Lipstick in Barbarella, MAC

Lipstick in Creme DNude, Too Faced La Creme

Color Drenched Lip Cream in Naked Dolly,

and Inglot Lipstick in 208 Cream

This list should get you started on what to look for when building your lipstick

collection. But remember, there really are no limits. The fun thing about gathering

your own colors for a palette is that you can combine prestige and pro brands with

more ubiquitous, mass-produced products to create your own distinctive color

range. A wide range of colors means you can create a plethora of different looks.
