I need to take a break from all this Fashion Week talk and take things down to a more personal level. I am by no means a make up artist, but over the years I’ve picked up some tips and tricks and discovered some products that have become favorites of mine.

I’ve tried lipsticks of all colors, brands and textures and have yet to find one that I absolutely love. I find lipstick makes my lips very dry and therefore ages me, so I stick with clear and tinted lip balms and glosses.

1. MAC Cosmetics Cremesheen Glass in Partial to Pink, any MAC counter, $20
2. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Rosé, Sephora, $22.50
3. Korres Lip Butter in Quince, Sephora, $12
4. C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve, B&BW, $5.50

All of these are so nourishing, have great color transfer, are very natural tints and are quite glossy. I highly recommend all of these products!
