Lizzy Caplan ties together a modest look with lipstick that demands attention.
For many, the idea of walking around with fire engine-red or Barbie doll-pink lips seems like an invitation for mockery. No one wants to elicit the image of a five-year-old girl scribbling her mother’s makeup on her face and trying to look too old or too girly. But, if you’re the type of person who would trade heels for a splash of lip color or need a dash of vibrance to add to a monochromatic wardrobe, all you need to pull off the look is a non-splotchy, long-lasting formula and a bright, bold color that makes those suckers shine (if you’re going to wear statement lipstick, you should go all the way and never look back.)
