Hey Ladies? Have you ever rocked dark lips to work? Did you like it? How did people approach? And the questions go on and on and on. According to research, women have been known to feel differently when they rock a darker shade of lipstick to work.
In case you're the type who cares about what others think about them, or you're the type ready and willing to try the dark shade but not too sure about rocking the look to work. Well, here are a few things that will inevitably happen if wear you black, or really any other super-dark lip shade, to work.
1.
People will stare at your lips while you're
talking to them. If they don't say anything about your gothic lips, but they're thinking about saying something. Trust.
2.
If someone *is* going to say something, it
will be a compliment. That was my experience at least and I'm preeetty sure everyone meant it. And yes, I work in a creative field and things aren't as buttoned-up, but if it doesn't go against your office dress code, I think you'll be surprised at how positively people will react. I was.
3.
You'll feel like HBIC. The thing about statement lipstick is that it automatically amplifies what you're wearing. Because of this, I felt like a much cooler version of myself. It makes you this whole new, edgier person.
4.
Eating gracefully will be damn near impossible. But regardless of how careful you are, be prepared for messy-as-hell-looking coffee cups, bite marks on your sandwiches, and lip color bleeding if you're so daring as to grab soup for lunch.
5.
You're going to need to reapply your color at least 1,004 times because perfection is
non-negotiable. This means you've got to have a hand mirror and your choice lipstick at arm's length at all times. If you don't, you'll pay a dear, dear price.
6.
At some point, you're going to forget you're wearing black lipstick. At the end of the work day, when you're completely worn down by all of your to-do's, you'll be in such a daze that you forget about the super-needy lip you're wearing. You'll smile, head nod, and even talk to people without realizing that you've swallowed half your lip color and you look like you've just downed seven glasses of red wine. You'll vow never to make the same mistake again.
7.
Happy hour, anyone? After fixing the mess that was your neglected dark lip, you'll be back in the I'm-feeling-myself-zone and cursing yourself for not having made after-work plans. You want, nay NEED to be seen. So you'll either make some with your always-done-for-happy-hour friend or coworker. My suggestion for a watering hole? A wine bar that will have a nice, purply glass of shiraz waiting for you.
There you have it ladies! Do share with us your experience at work rocking the dark lipstick shade. Thank you always for reading!
