What color lipstick is most attractive?

SkinStore surveyed 2,000 women and found that nude lipstick is what makes them feel "prettier" and "more attractive." While reds, purples, and browns can make for a fun pop of color, it's not actually what most people gravitate to. The top five power shades were nude, light pink, berry red, dark pinks, and bright red.

Typically, a power color is something bold that makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Well, not anymore. According to a study done by SkinStore, it's nude lipstick empowers women the most. Yes, shades that you can barely tell are there make people feel the best. That's not the only shade on the power list that will surprise you, either. Because apparently blending in is the new standing out. Makeup trends come and go, and apparently so do power colors. While red is typically associated with the term, it looks like there's a new shade range in town. SkinStore surveyed 2,000 women and found that nude lipstick is what makes them feel "prettier" and "more attractive." While reds, purples, and browns can make for a fun pop of color, it's not actually what most people gravitate to. The top five power shades were nude, light pink, berry red, dark pinks, and bright red. While there still are two shades of red in the top five, light shades claim the top two spots. Subtle shades are officially the new standout colors, if you can believe it. “We’re finding that women are growing increasingly anxious about the natural look of their skin and feel under a fair bit of pressure to look their best at all times," says Emma Campbell, Head of SkinStore Editorial, in a press release.

He Loves You, He Loves You Not

Those “three little words” could be the most complex in the English language. While some men prematurely pull the trigger on the "L word" (a recent study from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that guys tend to say “I love you” first, often driven by the idea that their partner will be more likely to have sex with them) — other guys just aren’t that good at getting the words out. Instead, they show their love through their actions. How can you know for sure? Those actions may be a truer indicator of his feelings than any passion-fueled colloquy, says Irina Firstein, LCSW, a relationship counselor who has advised couples in New York City for more than 20 years.
