COOL SHADE AND LOOKS GREAT ON HER CHI!

ON ME, I WOULD LOOK LIKE THE WICKED WITCH FROM THE WIZARD OF OZ, WITH BLACK HAIR AND BLACK LIPS!  HAHA!

I have and love E.L.F. Lipsticks, including the satin but no way I would attempt that color...she's young enough to get away with it!  My lip colors have progressively gotten much lighter as I have gotten older. I  tossed two fistfuls of lipsticks a few months ago and wondered how I ever wore some of the darker colors.

I have worn an Elf lip tint for about 20 years, or so I thought. Someone told me they haven't been in business that long... okay maybe 19 years. It's called perfect pink and all though it's not anywhere near my favorite lip product it's my most used because not only do I wear it alone but I wear it under every lip gloss I own. That way when the lip gloss wears off I still have color. I'm not fond of black lipstick on even young ladies.

@monicakm   I have a lip tint from elf called black cherry and I really like it. On me, it's a decent color.  I must confess that I haven't worn lip gloss since the 80's...just lost interest in it and lipstick gave me so much more color. HOWEVER and this is a big however,  I bought an elf lip gloss called Sparkling Rose' about 6 months ago because I only paid like $3 for it. I got curious if lip glosses still gave you that greasy lip look but I threw it in a drawer and left it there and held onto it after I purged a bunch of stuff.  So the other day, I broke it out and smeared it on and while I'm not a convert yet, I must admit I actually liked it...really pretty color and not too greasy looking...who knew🤷🏻‍♀️

I knew (g)  I've been wearing lip glosses and lip tints for decades.  I don't care for the overly oaqueness of lipstick

And because of its glossiness, lip gloss gives the appearance of a fuller lip as do lighter colors. I used to have a friend who had thin lips to begin with and she always wore a dark dark red lipstick. Her lips look like slits on her face and also gave her an unhappy look 😐  I don't see / get the greasy look of lip gloss.  I don't know if it's the brand you might have used or just a difference in how our brains decern things.  I wear various shades of pink and also gold colors if it has pink sparkle in it. I'll be out and about tomorrow and have my makeup chosen. This will be the lip I'm wearing. It's by Lawless, forget the filter.  A pale pinky beige called glazed

@bmorechick I was never a lip gloss girl until a few years ago. I'll soon be 68, and while my lips still have a nice shape, I noticed that most lipsticks showed every crease & crinkle! I also didn't like the way they bled into those nasty little vertical lines around my lips. I hated using lipliner, too. 

So I decided to try glosses over lip stains...wonder of wonders, my lips looked a little fuller, a whole lot less wrinkled, and the sheer glosses don't show if they do bleed--even the deeper colored ones. I really think it's a more youthful look. Buxom lip glosses, especially Dolly and Kir Royale, are my favorite. CoverGirl has discontinued their lip stains, but I always liked the Cinnamon Kiss. Palladio (sp?) has some nice ones--I tend toward natural looking colors for stains.

@bmorechick   always keep a "sparkling rose" in my handbag...such a great pink neutral with a beautiful sparkle of rose.  Recently bought ELF Bora Bora putty blush...just the lightest hint of pink good for cool tones and very subtle....love it.  ELF rocks!

So today, I usually WFH on a Friday but had a meeting this morning so had to schlep into the office.  I BOLDLY wore my elf lip tint, with my elf new gloss over it, into work.  I was feeling naked and a coworker, who is a good friend and we have worked together for past 30 years, says to me girl, put your lips on (our hint for you need lipstick).  I said they are on...she gets up close and says "you look like you've been eating fried chicken" (slick lips) and we laughed so hard we almost missed the meeting.  As an inside joke, it was hysterical. I said I'm trying something different...and we just kept laughing and the whole meeting, she kept pursing her lips and I had to get up and leave because I couldn't control myself...

I will still continue to venture into the world of tint/gloss without abandoning my lipstick😵‍💫😂💄
