Lady in Red: Finding My Perfect Shade
And How You Can Too
Hello Style Pantry friends,
As the seasons changed and my 49th birthday approached, I was drawn to a classic beauty statement: the red lip. While red nails have long been my autumn signature, I've recently embarked on a love affair with red lipstick – partly because our natural lip color fades as we age, but mostly because there's something undeniably powerful about a well-executed red lip.
What I love about my current collection is that it ranges from drugstore heroes to luxury finds, proving that achieving the perfect red lip doesn't require breaking the bank. Here's what's currently in heavy rotation:
NYC Lip Pencil in RED: This liner has become my secret weapon. It's the perfect base that prevents bleeding and creates a precise outline. Pro tip: Fill in your entire lip with it for serious staying power.
