The three lipstick colours every girl should own!

When doing makeup, every component is important to complete the look. Some of us girls make one very common mistake - not putting on lip colour/lip stick/lip balm/lip gloss.

Of course, lip balm can moisturise your lips and should be used everyday to prevent your lips from getting dry and flaky. With dry, cracked or flaky lips, it is impossible for us to put on lipstick to enhance the whole makeup look.

Today, I will be reviewing the NYX Round Lipsticks and in addition, show you all which three colour lipsticks every girl should own in their basic make up collection!

Colours from left to right: Mute, Paris, Hebe

Size: 4g / 0.14 oz

Price: US$4.00 each on the NYX website

Consistency: Creamy and really easy to slide on your lips

Smell: Sweet, frangant smell (remember that it must smell nice to me, but not necessarily nice to you!)

Pros: I really love the wide selection of lipstick colours NYX have. They are good quality, cheap and affordable lipsticks which slides on your lips really easily. The colours are pigmented and doesn't smudge on your lips.

Cons: However, I found it difficult to to buy the colours online because I couldnt try it on my lips and see how it looks like. The colours I received is also slightly different from the colour sample they put up online. I also find it difficult to remove it after.

Moving on to the three lipstick colours every girl should own...

1) Nude colour


When you have dramatic eye makeup on, you do not want bright lipstick colour to overpower your eyes. Hence, a nude lipstick colour will be perfect to enhance your eyes. Because our lip colour is different to our skin colour, the aim is to find a lip colour that is similar to your skin colour so your lips look "nude" and non coloured without looking pale.

2) Pink/purple colour

Pink and purple is such a fun colour when it comes to natural, barely there or everyday makeup. Pink will create a more girly look while purple can make you look chic. You can also find a lipstick with a tint of both colours to achieve both girly and chic look. These two colours can add some nice natural colour to your face when you have little makeup on.

3) Red colour

Red is a sexy, mysterious and seductive colour. When wearing this colour on your lips, ensure that your eye makeup is not too heavy, otherwise your lips will definitely be too overpowering. If you have heavy eye makeup and red lips, you might look like you're having too much makeup on. Red lipsticks can also be paired with a really nice red skirt. Wearing red lipstick is like wearing red accessories, except they're not on your ears, neck or wrist but on your face. It emphasise on your bold and sexy character.

I would recommend that for each lip colour you're considering of buying, you should try them on your lips to see if it suits your skintone. Of course, you don't always have to buy the most expensive lip colour brand to achieve the look you want to get. NYX is definitely a brand that I would recommend because it is cheap, affordable and definitely of high quality.
