As I savor the final sip of my morning iced almond latte, I look down just to find a faint trace of red, imprinted in the silhouette of my lips left behind. Some would see this classic, Hollywood-esque lip as a daring choice, far too bold for an ordinary afternoon, but finds itself as an evening essential when paired with a little black dress. For me, the red lip is anything but that. This small pop of cherry red fantasy has transformed into a staple of my daytime appearance. The red lip is an automatic must-have, longing to appear on more than just a night out. It is applied on my morning work commute, a little messy at times, but ties in any and every look. My red lip is empowering. Alluring. And doesn’t follow any rules. It complements the flow of my natural waves, the contrast of my everyday cat-eye, and draws attention to my smile, captivating each stranger I pass by.

It is carefree but exudes confidence unlike any other product used to accentuate my beauty. My collection contains an endless array of options, but today’s choice brings a luminous, rouge shine, with a touch of balm to nourish my lips from the morning chill of the city. It follows me to each new destination I encounter, right back to my home as the sun sets. When evening approaches, I remove the color and apply a gentle, yet exfoliating lip scrub, creating a flawless base for my upcoming messy red lip moments.
