Happy National Lipstick Day 2015! This morning I woke up to a rainy day in Oak Park, a new diss track from Drake to Meek Mill, a Twitter page full of hilarious gifs and the realization that today is “National Lipstick Day.”

I love pinks and nudes too, but red lipsticks are the most versatile! I want you to grab a new shade of red lipstick or to use what you already have! Let's jump right into the list!

Two weeks ago 25-year-old, South Sudanese model, Nykhor Paul took to Instagram to blast the unprepared make-up artists within the fashion industry whom have still failed to accumulate make-up that matches the various skin tones of black women. She addresses the issue with a black and white picture of herself with also a lengthy, paramount caption. 

Yet, despite getting older, it is essential that the same urgency from years ago be applied today. Because of this, I decided to take the initiative to start a new facial skin care routine once I get back to school in the fall. Of course, I had to share it with you all, so check out my Skin Care Guide: Keep that Melanin Poppin'!
