A Makeup Trick to Look Your Best Online | YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Balm
You’ll almost never see me online without lipstick on. It’s true. A little pop of color can take you from “I just rolled out of bed” to “I woke up like this” in seconds. It doesn’t matter if you’re on Zoom, Facetime, or Instagram. It’s the best makeup trick I know. We’re stuck inside right now, so it doesn’t make sense to do a full beat face, but you can still look good (and feel good!). All I do is fill in my brows, throw on mascara, maybe add concealer, and then pick the right lipstick and color to complete the look. I even have pictures to prove it.
Right now, I want lipstick that acts as my lip balm and gives me color. And since we’re in the middle of the Sephora Spring Savings Event (more info on that below), I decided to treat myself to some YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Balm ($38). They’re my partner for this blog post and a long-time love of mine. It’s an oil-in-a-stick, medium-coverage lipstick that gives your lips healthy shine and conditions at the same time. It has hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump, antioxidants, and six different oils that make it feel so smooth and creamy when you apply it.
I know a lot of people like matte lips, but I think shine gives you a youthful look and looks fresh. Plus, the color you choose can really set the mood, so choose wisely.
For a natural, “I didn’t try hard look” that’s perfect for work chat, I go for a pinky-nude color. This is YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Balm in 87 Rose Afrique.
For a little fun and a chat with friends, pick a bolder color with orange undertones like this YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Balm in 81 Coral Aviator.
And for a sultry look that reads virtual date, I like to go with a classic red like this YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Balm in 83 Rouge Cape. Bonus, it makes your teeth look whiter too!
