On Wednesdays We Wear Pink!
Ready for some pink fun? Of course you divas are! I know most people like to reserve bright, hot pink lips for spring and summer but I don’t believe in those kinda rules. I’m more of a “no pink lipstick left behind” kinda gal–no matter what season it is. Today, I’m going to bring the rebel out of you too by showing you a really easy trick to bring your bright pinks (or any bright colors) comfortably into fall. All you need is a deep, vampy lip pencil and your favorite pink lipstick.
For this look, I dug up my bright, hot fuchsia pink CoverGirl Bombshell Pink Colorlicious Lipstick and paired it with my deep blackened purple ColourPop Nevermind Lippie Pencil. ‘Cause nothing goes better with pink than purple, right?
Here’s how you can bring your bright pinks into fall:
- Begin by lining your lips with your vampy lip pencil. This is going to help define the shape of your lips and keep your lip color from bleeding.
- Starting in the inner corners, begin filling in your lips with your pencil. Be sure to leave the center bare.
- Apply your bright pink lipstick. Don’t worry about being neat. Just layer it on to your desired intensity. To keep your pink true to color and prevent it from mixing altogether keep a tissue on hand to swipe off the top layer with lip liner traces/
- Finally, lightly dab and press your lips together to seamlessly blend the lipstick into the liner. Done!
This technique is also foolproof for ombre lips too so don’t be afraid to try this technique with different colors and products. Mixing lippies is fun!

Aah, very nice!! =) Pink lips look so great on you – a lot of WOC seem to shy away from reds and pinks. I’m glad you’ll embrace them, because you’re beautiful in them!
