How to Properly Celebrate #NationalLipstickDay


The best day of the year!


Shop a National Lipstick Day Sale


Trust me, there are plenty to choose from, and most can be done from the comfort of your own home!


Some of the sales I'll for sure be checking out are:

  • Ulta- $15 Lip products from select prestige brands, 30% off select drugstore lip products, and a few freebies! There is also a choice between two 10-piece lip sets when you spend $70.

  • Sephora- 50% off select lipsticks

  • Colourpop- BOGO Free all Lipsticks

  • Anastasia Beverly Hills- $10 select lip products

  • Dior- Complimentary Rouge Dior 999 with any $125 purchase (sadly I won't be shopping this sale, but a girl can dream!)

And, of course, the GOAT of National Lipstick Day...

  • Mac- $15 lipsticks plus a free lipstick case with any $50 purchase


These are just a few sales. Many other brands are having their own sales as well!

Pick Your Chosen Lip Color, and Set the Rest of your Makeup to Match!

Because this lipstick will forever be my favorite!

Today, I've chosen Rouge Dior 999 (shocker, I know), and chosen sparkling neutrals to complement the bold red shade. I, of course, finished off the look with some false eyelashes. After all, when you're wearing Dior you want to look expensive.


If you're not sure about what makeup look would look great with your lipstick, there are many tutorials across all social platforms that you can follow to create that perfect National Lipstick Day Look!


Choose Your Outfit Based on Your Lipstick

This couldn't have been a more perfect match!

Usually I create my makeup look based on my outfit, but for National Lipstick Day, it's fun to do it the other way around. Since I went with such an iconic red, I chose my favorite red two piece outfit to match. I mean, if my outfit isn't as bold and as red as my lipstick, I'm obviously not doing it right!


If you pick a pink lip, I suggest playing around with a more feminine floral print dress. If you've chosen a more neutral lip color, I suggest playing around that iconic 90's chocolate brown shade, or any earth tone. Truly though, as long as you're feeling confident, you can't go wrong!


Have a Photoshoot, Video Shoot, or Both!

In case you couldn't tell, I did the most!

This holiday is the perfect excuse to create all the content! I chose both, and I know no one is surprised.


The above list is how I celebrated this year, but I have some other suggestions!

1. If you're in NYC, LA, or Las Vegas, create a custom lipstick at Bite Beauty Lab

2. Have a lipstick swap party with some friends

3. Attempt YouTube Makeup Tutorials

4. Binge Watch Glow Up. The newest season will be on Netflix tomorrow!


XOXO,

Kristin
