The Story of My "Good Luck Lipsticks" That I Use Depending on How I Feel | Sensitive Skin Days

Hello, this is harapeco.

The other day, I talked about "minimal makeup," but today I want to talk about "lip makeup," which I can't go without.

Lipsticks as "Good Luck" Items

On days when my skin feels irritated or I don't have the energy to do a full eye makeup look.

When I can't do a full face of makeup, I often feel hesitant to meet people, but having a favorite lipstick tucked away in my pocket or pouch gives me a boost of confidence.

I feel like my complexion looks better, and it helps me look forward a little bit.

Lately, I've been alternating between two lipsticks depending on my physical condition and my mood for the day.

DHC for days when I have a healthy complexion

DHC Medicated Lip Cream

It feels light to wear, but I feel like it provides solid moisture. On days when my complexion is good, just a quick swipe of DHC gives me a natural finish.

I can reapply it without even looking in a mirror, and
"this is enough for today" I feel like I can relax and just be myself.

CLARINS for days when I want to hide things

CLARINS Lip Comfort Oil

When my complexion is down, my lip color tends to look dull too.
At times like that, I add a pop of color with CLARINS.

It has the moisture and shine unique to an oil, but it has a smooth, light finish that gives me a "put-together" look, which is why I love it. Even when I want to look a bit more polished, it feels like it's "supporting me," which gives me peace of mind.

Because I work hard every day, I want to choose things that feel comfortable for me.

Both are my favorite lipsticks, but I use them differently depending on my physical condition and mood that day.
"As long as I have these two, I'm fine"—that feeling makes me feel at ease.

It's nice to wear full makeup and go out on days when I'm feeling energetic, but in my busy daily life, I want to be as comfortable as possible.


It's okay to have days when I'm not feeling my best. Makeup that makes me feel that way seems to be what keeps me calm right now.

By making cosmetics my allies and adjusting them slightly to match my heart and body, I feel like I can spend my time being a "softer version of myself."

By being able to be my natural self, I can learn to love not just how I look, but myself as well.

I'm happy to have makeup like that.◎

These are my 'good luck lip balms'.
