Lipstick: Sheer or Strong?

I’m definitely a sheer girl.  I’ve never really liked the look of very strong lips.  It just seems very artificial to me, especially for a day look.  Now, I don’t know whether this has to do with conditioning throughout middle and high school – strict uniform codes dictated that we weren’t supposed to have “noticeable […]
