Like Kodak we may become extinct if we do not adapt our technology. It is not the paper printing that will cause our extinction. A paper print advertising without a QR code, to connect us to the advertisers website, will be one of the causes of extinction. Thus, we must adapt.
Many indicators suggest the best of customer experience and customer journey is yet to come, specially, this year as we prepare for the Olympic games in Paris. It is a special news to have Olympic games during summer. And in Paris. A chance to surprise ourselves with Les Champs-Elysées or The Moulin Rouge. I would say we have reached the double frenzy that we won’t miss! One thing about me is that I love a soft brown lipstick. Even though we are still in Spring and the leaves on the trees remain green, the flowers are blooming. During this time of the year you will meet me wearing mid-season colours, paired with one of my preferred brown lipsticks. I might have a pen-brush with me to apply my lipstick on or I might just apply the product directly to my lips, without the need of any makeup tool. When my lipstick is a rollout format I like to keep it soft and satin. During this time of the year I am a brown lip girl.
Five Brown Lipstick Colours I Love
Brown lipsticks can be worn in various ways. It’s really up to you to decide what colours work best with your undertone and how you like to rock them best. In a stick or as a liquid lipstick. If you need some inspiration you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading for a quick breakdown of five brown lipstick looks I can’t get enough of and where to shop for them.
Those new to brown lipsticks can experiment with the trend by applying a sheer brown lipstick. Similar to caramel it may suit like a nude or as a total brown cover depending on your melanin. This caramel-coloured lip offers a hint of brown pigment—and the hydrating formula leaves your lips glossy without a tacky finish.
Looking for a sophisticated shade that you can wear to a formal event? The warm brown, mahogany, is pigment-packed formula that offers up to sixteen hours of wear without budging or fading, making it suitable for a night out. A satin finish gives this colour a little shine that uplifts the face in an elegant manner under the lights.
Black lipstick is undeniably daring but can look a bit harsh on some skin tones. Expresso communicates a dark, vampy lip in a brown shade. I wear the bold colour and a jet-black mascara for a modern take on classic gothic makeup look.
Taupe is an intermediate colour between brown and grey. A dark grey with neutral notes. A desert taupe lipstick embodies the grunge era. Not too dark, not too sheer. It’s a perfect blend and highly pigmented lipstick to differentiate from other colours. Perfect the 90s vibes by lining your lips with a taupe lip liner before going in with taupe lipstick. A smoked-out brown eyes will have you really lean into the rock-n-roll aesthetic for a day out.
Umber is also an intermediate colour between brown and olive green undertone.
I found this colour in a limited edition of an Urban Decay pallet I bought years ago. It is just perfect for a mid-season look, especially when the weather may turn out a bit gloomy. The neutral undertone gives this lipstick an amazing shine similar to the colours of the tree trunk. Complete your day look by applying an even coat of umber brown lipstick and concentrating the color in the center of each lip. Apply three swaps to get a defined and softly elegant shine.
How to Make Brown Lipsticks Last Longer
If you’re wearing your makeup from dawn to sundown chances are you’re going to retouch here and there to keep it looking fresh. Did you tell him this is one of the reasons women queue for the bathroom? But, if you want to minimise how often you’ll need to retouch your lipsticks follow these tips:
- Prep your lips well with a lip primer
- Choose pigmented and long-wearing formulas
- Apply a brown lipstick after applying a lip liner
- Avoid eating while wearing lipsticks but if this is not possible sip through a straw when drinking
Want to know more on how to upgrade a brown lipstick? Other step I found useful when playing with brown lipstick looks is that I apply a concealer to my lip rather than using a lip primer. And I allow the concealer to set for about three minutes. After this, I go in to apply a lip liner and a lipstick. When a concealer works well an expresso lipstick at dawn may transform into a dark cinnamon for a thrilled nightlife. Remember to stash your staples in your bag before you leave home.
When travelling I usually pack and check-in my makeup bag as part of a bigger luggage. It would be unfortunate to discover one of my picks cannot travel with me. I’ve recently found a drawstring crossbody bag a useful companion for travelling. With few items to fit in.
What To Pair A Brown Lipstick With
If you are the type to rock monochromatic looks during mid-season and summers you may want to look for a lip pallet complementary to the brown colours I have mentioned. These will be pink, green and olive green. When your lipstick doesn’t define the choice of garments it is easier to transform a day look into an evening gathering by switching the colour of the dress. Or changing the colour of your pants. Red pants with nude heels will uplift your brown lipstick to an adorable evening wear. Wear Red Adidas or white pants for an evening meeting.
How To Pay For A Brown Lipstick
The customer experience at shops would be incomplete without the experience of Google pay. Google Pay is a mobile payment service developed by Google to power in-app, online, and in-person contactless purchases on mobile devices, enabling users to make payments with smartphones, tablets or watches. With Google Pay we are not just eliminating the use of cash during the payment process we are also eliminating the process of showing a credit or debit card during payments. A visible debit card is needed to configurate Google Pay on devices. By inserting users card details into Wallet, also know as Google Pay, buyers will be able to complete a purchase with their smartphones.
How long has this technology been around? Now, this question is irrelevant. The question we should be asking is how helpful is this technology. It is always sad to remember George Floyd, specially, when discussing our adaptability. And payments. What we will say is that Google Pay will save lives when you are home, or out of your country.
