Beauty and fashion live together in harmony, and the clothes you’re wearing can portray how you’re feeling. However, the shade of your lipstick can have an even greater impact on how you show the world your mood. Your lip shade is a simple way to make a bold statement. There’s no shortage of lip colors in this world, and it seems like every day there is a new shade to try.

No look is complete without the perfect lip color! From mattes, to glosses, the possibilities are endless. There is a shade to go with whatever your emotions are, and a shade to match your exact mood. Below are six of my picks for different moods:

If you’re feeling… Flirty

To match your flirtatious and all around romantic mood, a light mauve shade is the way to go. The perfect lipstick for this is one with a super glossy finish like Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Dainty.

If you’re feeling… Down

In the words of Coco Chanel, “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack!”

Let’s face it, we all have our off days, but that doesn’t mean our lives completely stop whenever we feel down. Wearing makeup can be one step towards feeling more put-together, and may also make you feel more motivated.

If your spirits are low, match that with a vampy dark shade. My pick is a sheer deep burgundy lipstick like Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Bruise.

If you’re feeling… Dramatic 

There’s nothing better than a classic red lip if you want to feel elegant and timeless. (We’ve even written a whole post on the power of red lipstick!)

So if you’re feeling like adding some drama into your life, a vintage red lip is simple but still makes a bold statement. You can wear it with a super simple outfit and still look incredibly put together.
