Answer 1

Hi there,

First, I'd start with a base - I like Burt's Bees regular chapstick for $4; it's minty and will make your lips tingle. It's sort of similar to repainting a wall - you have to cover it in white paint first, and *then* paint over with the colour you *really* want - or else the colours underneath will show through. Burt's Bees isn't white paint, which is a good thing, because it would look and feel totally unnatural. It just adds a layer to help the process along, and nourishes your lips too.

As to gloss, I suggest you try a lip stain instead. Stains, rather than simply covering with colour, actually saturate your lips in the colour - just as a stain does in your clothes. Apply it only to your bottom lip, and then add a little gloss to both lips. From your picture, it looks like neutral plum brown shades would look nice and natural on you. For stains, you might try:

+ Vincent Longo Lipstain Lipstick in "Vesuvio Sheen" (it's a dark nude sheen, which sounds perfect for your lips) for $23 http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=C8360*Grid*P101003&id=P101003&categoryId=C8360&shouldPaginate=true

+ Stila Lip Rouge, which is like a marker for your lips, in "Grin" (a neutral plum brown) or "Moue" (a neutral brown red), for $20 http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=C8360*Grid*P8425&id=P8425&categoryId=C8360&shouldPaginate=true

+ Nars Lip Stain Gloss is a classic, and "Victoire" (plum brown) looks like it was made for you. $22.50 http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=C8360*Grid*P37315&id=P37315&categoryId=C8360&shouldPaginate=true

+ Rouge Hyperfix by Bourjois, the colour is semi-permanent and comes with both colour and a gloss, in "Beige Inalterable 3" (rose beige) for $16. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=C8360*Grid*P92920&id=P92920&categoryId=C8360&shouldPaginate=true

+ Urban Decay Ink in "Naked" (sheer mocha) has that easy marker design, for $17. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=C8360*Grid*P36733&id=P36733&categoryId=C8360&shouldPaginate=true

If you want cheaper or to stick with your conventional gloss, there are still some good options with good colours. If you get something that's all gloss, you'll defeat your own purpose, so I've chosen things that are more colour-based. I think (I'm a total Sephora nerd, if that isn't obvious) that Sephora's Piiink My Glossii Crayon in "Brownie" would do the trick for only $5 http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=S10605*Grid*P139900&id=P139900&categoryId=S10605&shouldPaginate=true but that isn't all that's out there:

Delux Beauty Tintstik in "Betty" (pale warm brown) or "Dot" (plum berry) are nice, natural options for $7. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?cm_re=S10605*Grid*P8930&id=P8930&categoryId=S10605&shouldPaginate=true

Bonne Bell Vita Gloss in "Sheer Plum", it's squeeze-tube style & they don't list the price, but their is usually affordable. http://www.bonnebell.com/img/56765_v412.gif

There are also websites that help you figure out what colours are best for you, if you don't want to take my word for it! Try the site for Cover Girl Outlast Double Lip Shine - it has a "Color Match" quiz that's a big help. http://www.covergirl.com/cgcollection/lips/mini_outlastdouble/index.jhtml (Just click "Find Your Shades").

Last of all, you might consider leaving your lips as they are! All of these products are probably great, but I find the most beautiful people are the ones with something naturally distinctive about them - like differently-coloured eyes, a very strong jawline, and yes - unique lips! We use these products and say they "express our personalities", but really we just look more and more the same. You look healthy and quirky and playful and beautiful in your photo, makeup aside - you can spend money on this stuff, and that's totally up to you, but remember underneath all the products you slather on is a *truly* natural body that deserves to be loved!

Anyway, best of luck & happy choosing!

EDIT: About the Lancome Juicy Tubes - they're mostly gloss, so I'll be stubborn here, but the colours "Beach Plum" or "Honey Violet" look like they could work. And this is definitely stuff to try on before buying - if you have any Sephora stores nearby, they have testers for virtually every single product!

I understand how you feel, as my top lip is two different tones (thanks to an old sunburn from YEARS ago) and I hate the way it looks.

Lip Injection by Too Faced not only puffs up your lips, it also evens out your lip color. Only cons are: 1) it costs about $20 and 2) when you apply it, it stings (as it has some of the same ingredients as Viagra!).

If you want something cheaper, Blistex has a product called Lip Tone which is a very lightly colored lip moisturizer that also evens out your lip skin tone. Best of all, it's cheap, found in most drug stores and it makes your lips softer. I used to use it all the time and not only does it smell nice, I would get compliments all the time on what beautiful lips (and lip color) I had.

I think you should try the Blistex first and if not, go to a cosmetics store (like Sephora or Ulta) and test out the Lip Injection before buying it.

Good Luck!
