lip stick color???!!!
Hey Ladies!
I was wondering, have you changed your lip stick color since being braced? I would wear a brownish lip liner with a lighter lip stick color, kind of a mocha color. Now I find that color highlights my braces. I have been wearing a light color when I go out, but mostly just lip gloss. Is it just because I'm more aware of my braces, or has everyone changed their lipstick color. Just another off the wall thought (yes, I get these often!!! )

Hi Tamiel-
Yes, I have. I used to wear a brownish pink liner from Rimmel with lipgloss and it doesn't look as good with braces. Since my braces 3 days ago, I have only been wearing lip balm because my lips are dry. I just bought a MAC lipstick called 'frost', and it looks pretty good.
**By the way, do you have metal or ceramic braces?
Hope everything is going good for you,
Trish

I've always worn lipsticks on the pink shade, with plenty of lip moisturizer. I find the moisturizer just makes your lips feel good. It's funny though, I sometimes like to wear earrings and a necklace, and WOW , it's as if the jewellery clashes with the braces......lol. (I'm wearing Inovation clear). At first I just didn't wear any jewellery, but now, after five months.....let it clash.....lol.

It sounds kind of strange
light colors dont look great on me, they tend to wash me out, I have found that I look best in darker colors, I do my makeup in goth light. I use dark purple eyeliner and use is sparingly but somehow still manage to look a bit goth. I use dark lipstick b/c it makes my teeth look whiter.

Burts Bees
Right now I am using Burts Bees lip shimmer in champagne (yes I know this contradicts what I just posted) but it's all I have right now and it's clearish, makes my lips tingle and smell good. they have other colors I got mine at Ulta, and I have seen it at barnes and noble, walgreens and such. It's $4 but totally worth it b/c my lips dont feel dry or cracked or shriveled or any of the other evil things braces do to lips.

for as long as i can remember, i've always tried to accentuate my eyes and not my mouth because of my less-than-perfect smile. i used to go heavier on the eye make-up and use a natural lip color, clear lip gloss, or just a moisturizer. now that i have braces (ceramics on top and metal on bottom) i find that lip gloss or even too much moisturizer really accentuates my braces and all th metal in my mouth, so i'll probably go even lighter on the lips until my braces are off.
