Celebrate Confidence, Color, and Self-Expression

Whether you're a bold red babe, a nude-neutral queen, or someone who can't resist a shimmering gloss—National Lipstick Day (celebrated every July 29th) is the perfect excuse to swipe on your favorite shade and show off your smile.

My bold lip look truly began when I started teaching for VIPKid. We were encouraged to wear bold lip looks so that children could better see how our mouth's moved when we spoke, made sounds, and created words. This trickled over into public education with phonics instruction. Now, I feel naked without my bold lippie!

Lipstick isn’t just makeup—it’s a mood, a memory, and a statement. It’s the color you wore to your first big interview, the shade you shared with a best friend before prom, or the tube that made you feel like you could take on the world after a tough day. Lipstick tells your story—one swipe at a time.

5 Fun Ways to Celebrate National Lipstick Day:

Try a Bold New Shade:
Always wear pinks? Try a power red. Love neutrals? Go vampy with a deep berry. It’s the perfect day to step out of your comfort zone!
Treat Yourself to a New Lippie:
Many beauty brands offer National Lipstick Day deals—so stock up on your favorites or grab that luxury lipstick you’ve been eyeing.
Host a Lipstick Swap Party:
Invite a few friends, bring new lipsticks, and trade shades. Don’t forget the makeup wipes and snacks!
Match Your Mood:
Feeling joyful? Coral or hot pink. Feeling powerful? Deep burgundy or classic matte red. Let your lips do the talking.
Post Your Pout:
Share your look on social media and tag #NationalLipstickDay. Bonus points if you include your favorite lipstick memory or brand.

💄 Why We Love Lipstick

Lipstick is more than a makeup product—it’s empowering. It lets us express our personalities, enhance our features, and feel fabulous even when we’re in sweats and a messy bun. It’s tiny, powerful, and always there when you need a little extra boost.

So whether you're rocking a $4 drugstore favorite or a $40 luxury lipstick, today’s the day to swipe it on with pride.
