Light Pink Lipstick: The Brighter, The Better

A light pink lip says a thousand words. (That's how the saying goes, right?)

Sure neutral, earthy tones are good and nice, but don't you think it's time you tried on a different, more playful shade? Because pink is one of the only lipstick colors that actually looks amazing on every skin tone, it's an easy way to work the color into your wardrobe—without having to divert from your daily all-black outfits.
