How I wear blue lipstick

Sunday 13 March 2016


The first time I wore blue lipstick my parents thought that it was a joke. After telling them that it wasn't and I actually liked the shade, they were more welcoming towards it. Blue is definitely not a traditional lipstick colour but I think this is what draws me to it; I find enjoyment in coming up with different eye looks to go with the lipstick. Today, I wore a sparkly smokey eye with winged eyeliner. Even though this is quite dramatic in itself, it still doesn't detract attention from the lips. 

The lipstick is from MAC and it is the 'Royal' shade - I don't think you'll be able to miss it on the stand! It is a matte formula which is my favourite; I'm not sure how I would feel about it if the lipstick was shiny! I find that if you don't actually like the lipstick looking very blue, you can apply it more gently and it actually comes across as purple. In terms of application, I'm not going to lie to you, it is difficult! As there aren't many blue lipliners on the market, I would recommend a blue eyeliner instead - although I just about manage with the lipstick. 

Do you have any crazy colours of lipstick in your collection that you love wearing?
