Lip color is back!

I wasn’t really feeling a bold lip while homebound for the duration of the pandemic. Even if I had a Zoom with clients, something just didn’t seem right about rocking a bright red or festive fuchsia from my home office. I actually yanked my most-worn lipsticks out of my makeup drawer in early May of last year to free up some space—but I’ve started dipping back into my stash (which now lives in my office).

Westman Atelier’s “Les Nudes” Lip Suede.

I was absolutely besotted with Westman Atelier’s “Les Rouges” Lip Suede when it launched in January 2020, but I never got around to purchasing it before lockdown—and couldn’t justify the splurge when I wasn’t leaving the house without a mask. But as soon as I received this morning’s announcement about “Les Nudes” I didn’t hesitate for a second. I’m thinking of this as a welcome back gift for my lips that I can wear anytime or anywhere—even in the comfort of my own home.
