Daily Dynamic Monday |Lipstick, my best friend!
I remember so well my mom telling us that a women never leaves the house without her lipstick. “Lipstick will always be a women’s best friend”, these were her exact words.
Did you know that lipstick dates back more than 5,000 years, not that it is old as my mother.
I always thought that Cleopatra was the mother of all lipstick but no, 2000 years before her it was Queen Puabi, the queen of Sumeria who was the first to apply colour to her lips.
Enough of the history of lipstick. What fascinates me is that there is a lipstick for every occasion, any time of the day and fitting for every budget.
For most women the first thing they think about when they think makeup is lipstick. No wonder it’s then also the bestselling makeup product globally.
This is also how it should be as adding that bit of colour to your lips makes a vast difference to the features of your face.

Today I want to share some tips on how to make that right choice.
The experts will tell us that the first things you must look at when buying a lipstick is;
• your skin colour
• the colour of your hair
• the colour of the veins on the inside of your wrist and
• even the time of the day you will be wearing the lipstick
For me it is all too complicated. I believe in making my lipstick work for me! How do I do this? By buying a lipstick that I know will fit with the colours of what I “wear”.
And here I’m not just referring to the colour of a dress or top but also to the following;
• The colour of all the clothing in your cupboard
• The colour of shoes
• The colour of hair pieces
• The colour jewellery
• The colour nail polish
• The colour of ALL the accessories you wear
If you have a colour lipstick that match any of the above, wear it!
If you are buying a lipstick and it match any of the above, buy it!
And if you don’t have a lipstick that match what you wear, mix it!
Two and even three different colours can change the tone of a lipstick. You can make your own colour by doing this. You can also add some lip-gloss just to give some depth to a colour.
Next time you buy that new lipstick remember these tips and and enjoy it!

Excellent dear Sis! This article about lipstick is very informative.
For the first time I have learned that it was Queen Puabi, the queen of Sumeria that began the use of lipstick and that is 7000 years back.
I have also learned that lipstick should be applied According to the color of hair, skin and so on.
And your mom thought you that a woman shouldn't go out without her lipstick.
Well, these are valuable lessons but as for me, I don't give lipstick much attention. Sometimes I even go out without applying anyone. But all the same, it makes women look so adorable especially when won to match the hair, the skin and to suit the occasion. Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate this
