Hi Sara, I'm a huge fan and check your blog nearly everyday! Your humor and honesty are so refreshing. Now this might sound a little strange, but I always have so much trouble putting lipstick on (especially really dark colours). I'm so scared of doing it wrong aka making a mess of myself, that I've almost given it up completely. Do you have any tips or any tricks? Your lipstick always looks so flawless!

oh my goodness, thank you so much—you are so sweet! and that is not a strange question at all! regarding statement makeup like a dark lip, i always keep the rest of my makeup semi-low key (i.e. just pale blush and liquid liner, not a smoky eye or obvious contouring). also? lip liner. lipstick tends to bleed and liner acts like a barrier in keeping color relegated to only the area inside of the tracing. some women line the entire expanse of their lips for extra staying power, but i don’t mind touching up.

this afternoon, megan and i led a conversation about summer trends for the company. one trend was “the bold lip.” we felt it necessary to support the mini-presentation by wearing dragon girl (megan) and heat wave (i). #teamplayers
