Milani Lipstick 15 Hot Pink Rage


15 Hot Pink Rage

This is probably my favorite pink from the collection.
It's kind of a crazy hot pink color but it's more tame cousin. I like to line my lips with a more neutral pink lip liner and then fill it in with this lipstick. I usually blot the lipstick so it isn't super pigmented. Sometimes I like to embrace neon colors but other times…less is more.

Milani Lipstick 03 OrangeGina


03 OrangeGina

Not your average orange lipstick! It has shimmer but it doesn't create that frosty mouth most of us can't stand. I find that this is a more wearable form of wearing orange lipstick and it's easier to pull off with my carmel/tan skin tone. Some orange lipsticks really clash with my skin tone, or just look horrible with most of my makeup looks. However, this orange is workable for me.

Milani Lipstick 17 Plumrose



17 Plumrose

I guess I would call this a dusty mauve/pink lipstick. It's a nice everyday color to throw on the lips. I probably use this color more in the fall/winter months.

Milani Lipstick 25 Naturally Chic

HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE NUDE EVER!!!!!!!!
Can I just take a second here to rant about how there are so many lipsticks out there that are basically meant to NEVER be used on tan skin tones!! So many nudes make me look DEAD or sleepy or like I have negative lips >:( it makes me frustrated that companies have so many beautiful reds, pinks, etc etc and yet come out with nudes that wouldn't work for tan people. HELLO not our fault we were born this way.
CAN WE GET AN AMEN
Milani has done it right! Naturally Chic is my go to nude lipstick during the whole year. It even works in the summer when I'm darker, and it works when I'm lighter in the winter.
It's super creamy and easy to apply (with or without at lip liner).
Also since it's a nude when I had a boyfriend he didn't mind getting kisses when I wore this color so CHECK boyfriend approved.
