10 QUOTES WITH «LIPSTICK»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word lipstick.
1
Saffron Aldridge
I like smudgy black eyes and pale lips for evening. Red lipstick looks great on other girls, but it's too much on me.
2
Camila Alves
Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality. I love watching women and discovering all the ways each person uses a color, pattern, a style, even a lipstick color. I'm a people watcher.
3
Shawn Amos
Year after year, we see a new crop of musicians who do their best to look tough in lipstick and makeup. Maybe it's a cry for help, an admission of their strong feminine side, or the realization that they don't look so good any other way. Whatever the reason, makeup is as rock n' roll as a Marshall stack.
4
Monica Bellucci
I have always loved lipstick. For women, that love comes from our mother and grandmothers. It's so natural for a woman to open up her mirror and apply lipstick.
5
Pat Benatar
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case, you better make sure you put me in my place.
6
E. F. Benson
Rightly or wrongly, the Victorian considered that there were certain subjects which were not meet for inter-sexual discussion, just as they held that certain processes of the feminine toilet, like the powdering of the nose and the application of lipstick to the mouth, were (if done at all) better done in private.
7
Selma Blair
I used to wear a lot of red lipstick, and when I got a pimple, I'd cover it up with eyeliner to turn it into a beauty mark.
8
Bobbi Brown
As a makeup artist, I learned quickly that the color of your lips affects the way a lipstick looks. If you see your friend wearing a great color, don't assume it will be right for you.
9
Bobbi Brown
Every season has its lipstick trend, and just because your perfect color is a pinky beige, that doesn't mean you can't wear deep burgundy.
10
Bobbi Brown
The most versatile lipstick you can own is a shade that's just a bit brighter than your natural lip color.
