There’s always a perfect pink for every look

My long-held goal to discover the perfect pink lipstick has been disappointing. Not because there aren’t great pink lipsticks around. On the contrary, there are loads. But I have come to the realisation that there isn’t “The One”. Because one that is perfect today isn’t necessarily perfect tomorrow. There are so many variations on shades: reddish pink, purply pink, orangy pink, pale pink… you get the gist. You also have different textures and finishes. So depending on the occasion, the outfit and the look you are going for, you will probably need a different kind of pink. Long story short, don’t waste time seeking the perfect pink. Instead, start building a perfect pink-lip wardrobe.
