Must Have Summer Lip Colors

Lip color or more commonly known as Lipstick, is a girl’s best friend. It was about 5,000 years ago when lipstick was first invented. Sumerian men (yes men!) & women used to crush gemstones and used them on their lips and around the eyes to enhance their looks. No matter how much makeup we do, it looks incomplete without a lovely shade of lipstick. Lipstick helps us to achieve the look of our choice. It enhances our overall appearance.
