kittens, i have tried every single pinky, nudey, rosey lipstick on this unicorn planet. from sticks to stains to sheers, i am always on the search for the perfect pinky shade that will take me from palisades client meetings to downtown go-go dancing.

after years of tint testing, i've composed my top ten lippy picks below. these go-to gals can be worn solo or layered in any combo. they all work well together much unlike our congress.

do you have any favorite pinky neutrals? let me know and i'll give 'em a spin!

{above: 1). nars dolce vita sheer lipstick; 2). lancome laque fever in rose macaroon; 3). MAC velvet teddy lipstick; 4. nars dolce vita velvet matte lip liner; 5. bobbi brown rose lip liner; 6. smith's rosebud salve (clear! use in combination with lip pencils); 7. julie hewett bette cheekie palette; 8. laura mercier naked lip pencil; 9. bobbi brown roseberry lipstick; 10. julie hewett biba lipstick.}

** please note, i'm totally not paid by any of these companies. i'm just a lipstick whore.
