Ladies, you know what it's like when you go shopping for a new shade of lipstick. Here you are in the lipstick aisle looking up and down the rows of pinks, mauves, reds, and purple.

Gee, which color do I want?

Another minute goes by and you still haven't made up your mind. Darn those makeup manufacturers - so many shades to choose from. There are lipstick colors to go with every skin tone, every possible outfit, and every day or evening situation you may find yourself in.

Okay, you've got to make a decision somehow. Here's a suggestion. The next time you go lipstick shopping, pick out your lipstick colors to match each one of your moods.

Now, ladies, if you're like me you'll wake up in the morning and try to get dressed, but for some reason you just can't grab a quick outfit and go. Nope. You're realizing you're not in the mood to wear that pink top, or those brown pants, or that particular striped suit. Hmmm. You stand there a few minutes picking out this, throwing that aside, until you finally select just the right outfit for how you're feeling that day.

Well, let's do the same with lipstick. I promise this will be lots of fun.

Pink Lipstick Colors - Light pink shades are innocent, soft and gentle. Wear pink on your lips when you're feeling pretty and girly. Hot pink kicks things up a notch. Usually, hot pink is worn when you're feeling your girl power and wanna have some fun.

Orange Lipstick Colors - Orange shades are a breath of sunshine. Wear orange on your lips when you're relaxed, happy and feeling a little spunky. Orange is the color of sunshine, so it can really give you a lift on gloomy days.

Red Lipstick Colors - Red shades evoke confidence and independence. Wear red on your lips when you're feeling strong and in the mood to either make decisions or kick some butt. Yes, when you stroll in wearing your red lipstick, people better watch out - this woman means business.

Purple Lipstick Colors - Purple shades are mysterious and a little rebellious. Wear purple on your lips when you feel like stepping out of your comfort zone and want to be unique. Purple is never boring, but always cool and vibrant.

Brown Lipstick Colors - Brown shades are warm, earthy and inviting. Wear brown on your lips when you're feeling like kicking back and taking it easy. No fuss and no muss, just doing your thing.

Of course, if you're not sure what mood you're in, you can always mix two shades together and create your own individual colors.
