10 things only lipstick lovers will understand

accreditation
Love a bold lip? So do we.

A statement red, pink or berry lip can elevate any average ensemble to new heights. But unfortunately, with bold lips come bold responsibility.

Here are some things only women who wear lipstick daily can understand:

1.    Reapplying and touching up your lipstick about 30 times a day is just standard. And you never leave the house without a compact.

2.    You’re tired of being asked, “what is the point of wearing 'nude' lipstick?”

3.    When a fellow lipstick-enthusiast is like, ‘OMG! Where did you get that colour?”

4.    Asking someone, "Did I just smudge my lipstick all over my face?," after braving a re-application of lipstick without a mirror.  

5.    Giving attitude when people tell you that you’re wearing lipstick because you’re trying to attract a partner. But so what?

Or maybe you just like wearing lipstick...

6.    Slathering Vaseline on your lips at night to ease that burning sensation of dry and peeling lips. Argh, keep that Lip ice close, ladies.

7.    Lipstick smears all over your wine glass. Is a social faux pas? Because I think it’s fashionably legal.

8.    That awesome feeling when finding a lipstick that doesn’t dry up and form a thin line of residue on your lips.

9.    You know that wearing your favourite shade of lipstick is not just a choice, but a way of being.

10.  You know your lips are your signature, when people ask if you're ill on a day you go without lipstick.
