Lyndsie Aug 23, 2014

I always have to try it! If you're looking for some truly unexpected shades of lipstick, I've got you covered!

I'm starting out with some unexpected shades of lipstick that really aren't practical for day to day life – or, rather, the design isn't really practical. But check out the green, the yellow, the violet – would you be willing to try one of those?

2. Pastel Perfection

Pastel Perfection Via 17 DIFFERENT LIPSTICK LIPS

There are plenty of pastel shades around these days, but they're still new enough that they're a bit unexpected on the daily. Wouldn't you love to rock a mint, or a creamy light lilac?

Done subtly, this actually could be a day to day look, and there are even lipsticks to help you do it. For special occasions and fun parties, however, go bold – I love the pink and the galactic black, especially.

You can mix and match your own lipstick like this, as long as you use strong pigments. Heck, even your favorite eye shadow would work!

7. Sunset

Sunset Via Makeup

This is such a vibrant, pretty look! Even if you couldn't manage the yellow during the day, a mix of pink, coral, and red could easily work.

8. Black Lipstick

Maybe it's a relic from my goth days, but I still adore black lipstick. It looks gorgeous against so many skin tones, and it's so dramatic!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I have a true orange lipstick. It's gorgeous and a bit sheer. It's one of the maybelline colour whispers

I like to wear a purple lipstick sold by L.A Colors. Absolutely fantastic.

weird but cool

Just in time for Halloween...

Blue lipstick all the way!! My fave :)

Wow! They are all amazing! When I was in my goth phase, I wore a greyish purple color by wet and wild every day! My mom hated it (which of course made me want to wear it more!). She said I looked like a corpse, which was exactly what I was going for!

Stop trying to make fetch happen Gretchen!!
