Celebrity makeup artist AJ Crimson talks lip colors that work for various occasions

AJ Crimson

How do you choose lipsticks that work for different occasions?


A blue based red, Crimson Rose from my AJ Crimson Beauty Signature collection can be used as a stain during the day and it can give you a boost of color for nighttime wear. This will change your look from something soft, natural and pretty, to something that will give you a little more excitement. Another [color] that you can [wear] if you are going to a party, a celebration or you’re just having fun on a Saturday night is a really great purple or a fun bright pink. These are colors that are not often explored by women of color but they are great on different skin tones. Try these out because they can give you so many different feelings and can help you express many different emotions. I think that your friends will see you and they will always want to know where did you get that color, and you can always let them know you got it from www.ajcrimson.com. Dark shades are another color that is not tried by women of color much but it is a huge trend. I say use them in the spring or the summer and not always in the fall or you can make it the focal point of your look. These are ways that you can utilize lip color to draw in on trends without exploring all of the trends; whether it be the eyes, the lashes, the foundation or the cheeks, use a lipstick to tell a story of its own, to tell your story for that day or that occasion.
