When I wear lipstick, I want it to be noticed. Otherwise, why were it? But I don't like colors that are too bright, too dark, too light, too warm or too cool. Like Goldilocks and the Three Beans, it has to be just right.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158832 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:19:08 +0000 Victoria 1158832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>to add-in terms of recommendation-if you have full lips, sky is the limit on what colors you can wear. If you have thin lips, I would recommend medium tone color or nude simply because bright or dark colors will call attention to the shape of the lips. Just my five cents:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158831 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:16:32 +0000 Victoria 1158831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not much for nude colors because those wash me out-I am pale with dark hair so I need SOME color. Not always bright one but its usually noticeable. Also it would depend on my outfit and eye makeup. I am definitely a lipstick girl, and don't leave home without it lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158815 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:02:20 +0000 sevenseas 1158815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've recently come to love wearing strong lip colors, e.g. deep red, wine/burgundy, berries, etc. I think it comes from having more confidence in middle age (as a younger woman, I tended to want to avoid standing out from the crowd.) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158725 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 18:11:22 +0000 MicheleLee 1158725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm team visible.

Now I wear some form of blue red or violet pink... cooler, clearer and brighter.&nbsp; They balance my eyes and provide color on a head with very ash and grey hair. I think with grey or silver hair - you CANNOT do orange- Never ! - forget the trends - and you CANNOT do browns or nudes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158634 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:50:59 +0000 Anonymous 1158634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm beginning&nbsp;to wear more visible lipstick. I just recently got a lovely Max Factor one called Raisin which is a rich coral with a bit of a sheen and I'm loving it. I always admire how some of the YLF ladies wear lipstick that looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158625 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:42:17 +0000 shemarie 1158625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I would love to wear visible color, and am so jealous of all of you who can wear the fun trends and look fabulous.&nbsp; But whenever I've ever tried it, it entirely takes over my entire face and just screams "LIPS!" And not in a good way! More like a four-year-old playing dress-up, or like clown makeup. &nbsp;So definitely team Invisible/nude/chapstick here. Even gloss is too much.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've never understood why, but reading Janet and Rae's comments was enlightening.&nbsp; My coloring is very different, and very low contrast from hair to eyes to skin color, and I've always had full lips.&nbsp; Intriguing! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158589 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:13:09 +0000 citygirldc 1158589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer a visible lipstick since my lips are naturally pale. without it I look like a ghost.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158580 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:07:04 +0000 Pat Chenell 1158580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely leave the house without visible&nbsp;lipstick, usually in a rosey-pink or, if I'm feeling&nbsp;"street", a mauvish hue. I keep a couple of lipsticks in my bag, but I do not&nbsp;necessarily reapply throughout the day. I do always have lip balm close by and use it constantly. My favorite is an old teen standard, Bonne Belle Lip Smackers. I love these because they never go hard or waxy even on the coldest days and are inexpensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158556 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:55:40 +0000 catgirl 1158556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did I chime in already?

I love nudes and shades of coral/pink. I never wear dark lipstick. And never ever wear anything brown.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158545 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:51:13 +0000 pastrygirl 1158545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends. I tend to like a heavier eye, so on those days, I prefer a nude lip or just barely pink. If I keep my eyes lighter, then I'll go for more color on my lip. I sometimes experiment with saturated color on my lips, but end up wiping some off and topping with a nude shade. But again, I think it's because I like a smoky eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158535 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:46:29 +0000 Gracie 1158535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining Adelfa, visible but not intense and a preference for brownish pinks and mauves. I have countless lipsticks/glosses in a rainbow of colors as every season I'm tempted by the beautiful magazine advertisements. I have not found my perfect red yet... the ones I've tried made me feel like I was all mouth even though my lips are not thick. My next indulgence is going to be one of the new Maybelline The Nudes lipsticks, probalby one of the darker shades – the sheen/texture looks beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158467 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 14:30:13 +0000 Aziraphale 1158467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Scarlet, I often wonder how much lipstick I've ingested over the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158439 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 14:08:37 +0000 El Cee 1158439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can go either way depending on my mood and my outfit… so I guess I will have to bench myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158437 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 14:06:34 +0000 Anonymous 1158437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear red lipstick. &nbsp;It has become my signature. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158434 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 14:05:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1158434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Visible for sure. In fact, I'm a die hard lover of a strong red lip on myself (once I found the right red).

Very occasionally I will wear a full-on red -- what I would love to find is a full-on red with berry (not orange) undertone. That would probably be perfect for me.I tend to go lighter on the eye makeup (my eyes have a lot of dark color on their own) so I like to pump up the lip area. Occasionally, when I am completely dressed down, a nudish Nars gloss.</p> <p>I'm definitely at that age where lips are thinning and losing color, so sad. <br />DD, who is 19, has complained to me often about how red her lips naturally are.

Of course I am toning it down a bit as I age, but I still like a bright lip, a smokey eye and color, color, color. Also I have that sort of pale, light olive complexion that begs for... color, color, color!<br />That said, my hubby recently gave me a super&nbsp;dark lipstick he really likes&nbsp;(Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Shame) that I'm too chicken to wear outside the house </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158336 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:22:35 +0000 T 1158336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of lipstick as an accessory - just like your earring or neck jewelry so I decide on visible or invisible basis what I'm wearing overall...&nbsp;</p> <p>But I do tend to be on team visible mostly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158335 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:20:50 +0000 Deborah 1158335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team visible!

I am not sure where it goes after that, but it's clearly not the basis for a look that focuses on a dramatic lip.

I have a small mouth and&nbsp;very colorless lips so both nudes and brights look bad. I like brownish pinks and brownish plums so you can see my lips but they're not screaming at you. Not to disparage bright wearers. DD for one rocks the bright reds and corals and I love her in those. But a small bright red mouth just doesn't cut it for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick/page/2#post-1158244 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 04:49:48 +0000 Mo 1158244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Janet and Rae. &nbsp;I used to not fill my whole lip when I did wear it way back in high school in an effort to make them appear smaller. &nbsp;This was obviously way before the collagen duck lip look came to the forefront! &nbsp;&nbsp;Interesting fact, your lips thin a bit as you age. &nbsp;<br />As it stands, I haven't worn lipstick lipstick in forever. &nbsp;I'm a stain or gloss gal. &nbsp;A few shades darker than normal most the time,&nbsp;and a lighter pink for summer fresh faced look&nbsp;for a change.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-visible-or-invisible-lipstick#post-1158243 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 04:49:04 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1158243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, just before I was going to answer, I read your comment and it is so interesting because I was going to say the same thing about being uncomfortable in bright lip colors but because my lips are super thin. I never thought about it going both ways! I do love natural color and/or gloss, but I have the worst time remembering to keep reapplying throughout the day. I also tend to wear darker eye makeup and don't like to feel heavily made up overall... </p>
