Prepandemic I was the friend known for rocking a bold lip no matter what the occasion.
Fast-forward to now, the rainbow of lipsticks in my beauty bag doesnt feel like me anymore.
I’ve taken a similar, less-is-more approach to my beauty routine.
(One friend called it that super perfect lipstickthey’re not wrong.)

Tresluce Beauty Empower Me Matte Lipstick

Celebrity beauty brands aren’t for me.
If youre not solving problems or creating anythingnew, why make it at all?
Despite my initial reservations, the formula instantly impressed me.

The lipstick has a velvety texture that is super pigmented and goes on incredibly smooth.
Its formulated with mango butter to keep chapped winter lips smooth and hydrated.
It works great on its own, but it pairs well with anylip linerfor a more defined look.
I personally skip the liner (sorry, Im lazy!)
and found that the Empower Me lipsticks dont feather, no matter how long you wear them.
No more awkward smudges on my chin or feathering around my lips.
Celeb makeup brands skew a little higher as well.
Go on, try it for yourself.
Your lips will thank you.
