Caitlyn, Assistant Editor: All About Lips

I’m all about the lips, especially for date night. I’m a firm believer that you’re never fully dressed without a smile 一 or lips coated in pigment. My latest lipstick obsession has been the YSL Beauty Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick, which doesn’t skimp on color and leaves my lips velvety soft. The luxe lipstick lasts for hours, which is all but necessary when chatting, sipping and — possibly — smooching. The sleek black applicator is super easy to use, but because I have a pointy Cupid’s bow, I can sometimes mess up on my upper lip. The goal is to look sexy and not sloppy, so I always keep the Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Concealer on hand to correct uneven lipstick lines with a flick of the wrist.

When it comes to date night makeup, I believe that it’s all about looking and feeling like the best version of yourself. For me, clear, bright skin is the ultimate confidence boost. I love a medium-coverage, natural finish foundation which is exactly what the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare provides. It truly looks like skin 一 like the name says 一 and it’s incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear. To add some color and definition to my complexion, I’ve been loving the Giorgio Armani Beauty Neo Nude Melting Color Balm. I just blend a bit onto my cheeks and blend it out with my fingers. To lock my makeup in place and ensure it’s long lasting, I’ve been reaching for the Dermablend Lock and Last Water-Resistant Setting Spray. It makes a difference in the wear of my makeup while not giving my skin a tightened sensation like other heavy-duty setting sprays can.
