It is a widely known fact that every time a person’s eyes fall on your face, the very first feature they notice is your lips. A smile with a perfectly highlighted cupid’s bow in an attractive shade of pink or red around pearly white teeth is something that always leaves a lasting impression on anyone’s mind. And this very fact makes keeping your lips anything less than moisturized, protected, plump and tinted a big no-no. So, if there is one thing that should never ever be left out of one’s everyday makeup regimen, it is a good shade of hydrating lipstick from one of the most popular lipstick brands.
