Mood Matching Inspo

So many factors can affect your daily beauty mood and when it comes to lippies, the best place to start is a toss up between color and texture. Generally, color families (think neutrals, berry tones or bold pigments) can help us decide how we’re feeling. Ditto with textures, from sheer and opaque and glossy vs matte. For example, if you wake up feeling super confident, that would be a great day to choose a bold lippie in a power pigment, like red, and matte texture. 

EVERYDAY ICONS

When the beauty forecast calls for daytime chic, reach for the muted nudes, soft pinks and sheer peach tones. These are subtle enough for any occasion, from a weekend brunch to your corporate 9-5. Choose your preferred texture based on your plans for the day. If you’re feeling lowkey, go for a lip balm or creamy lipstick. Think products you can apply sans mirror.
