Call it a lipstick-defining moment. In Beauty for a Purpose’s Kiss & Tell series, real beauties – from entrepreneurs to boldface names – share the inspiring stories behind their most triumphant moments while wearing a favourite confidence-boosting shade.
Hello, style #goals!. With her breezy braided hairstyles, glamorous globetrotting, and beautiful family of four – not to mention her major lipstick obsession – Amber Fillerup Clark’s blog, Barefoot Blonde, is the stuff Instagram dreams are made of. To get a picture-perfect look, follow this fashion and beauty maven’s approach of mixing it up with new lip colour.
“On the date with my now-husband when we had our first kiss, I wore a purple-toned lipstick to help me feel dressed up and pretty. I felt awkward because I didn’t want to get it all over him, but I felt weird saying, ‘BRB, gotta go take off my lipstick!’ so I quickly and casually wiped off most of it with my hand.
I have loved trying new shades for years – I could try on different colours all day. I have pretty small lips, so I think lipstick helps define their shape and bring them out. Lipstick makes me feel put together, even when I’m not.”
