What Your Lipstick Says About You
The Best Friend (Flat shaped lipstick): Eloquent, reliable, and trustworthy. The flat-shape of your tube reflects your down-to-earth personality. You surround yourself with great friends with no room for drama! Your makeup mantra: “If it looks good, why change?”
The Sweetheart (Round shaped lipstick): Feminine, graceful, and serene. You’re the most charming of the bunch, and everyone loves your gentle demeanor. Your bullet is perfectly rounded to reflect a delicate touch. Your makeup mantra: “Bring on the pretty.”
The Executive (Clean & sharp lipstick edge): Confident, ambitious, and meticulous. You set your sights on a trail-blazing career at a very young age and never looked back. Nothing bends on the path to your success, not even your lipstick. The bullet’s original shape stays clean and sharp because your mouth always applies a firm and even pressure. Your makeup mantra: “I only wear the best.”
The Romantic (Concave lipstick shape): Passionate, sensitive, and shy. A die-hard Jane Austen lover, you crave fairy-tale romance like no other. You’ve sculpted a concave shape from firm lip pressure in the center of your pucker—just where your Prince Charming would plant the ultimate kiss. Your makeup mantra: “Transform me.”
