I have 5 older sibling and 3 younger.
I wasn’t even given the dignity of the title “Middle Child” more like “Somewhere-to-the-side-of-the-middle child.”
There’s no glory in that. You’re neither big nor little. You’re not afforded the perks of being first or those of being last.
Your mom calls you Heid-Rache-Cara. You babysit, wear hand-me-downs and share a room.
In-between-ers get the shaft.
Which is why I bring this up.
Everyone is always talking about bold lips and nude lips but what about midi lips?
It’s the most underrated lip of all.
It’s not quite as loud as your typical bold and not quite as bare as your nudies. Chocolate vanilla swirl, if you will.
In a world that is split between bold lip lovers and nude lip devotees. I say we all just agree on something.
Let’s heal the our differences and meet in the middle,who knows, it just might be your gateway into a whole new way of lipsticking.

April 25, 2013 at 6:29 amyayyy I’m so glad you brought this up! I’m always midi-lipsticking! it’s so easy to pull off every day and nude lips usually just wash me out a bit too much, although it can be nice sometimes when I’m a bit more tan
Katie
April 25, 2013 at 6:44 amI love voting each day for you – I feel like it makes a little payback for the wonderfulness of your blog. I wish I had a larger beauty budget, but it’s helped me just feel comfortable with the basics of makeup – and knowing where to direct my splurges! 🙂 Thanks for all your work!!

April 25, 2013 at 7:04 amI’m already wearing a mid lip color today! Fergie lipstick from Walgreens called Fergie Daily, I cant believe the quality for a drugstore lipstick! It keeps my lips moisturized all day WITHOUT getting clumpy AT ALL! Have you tried this, Cara?
Yasmin
April 25, 2013 at 7:06 amHi Cara! Love the pretty pinks! I also love the “love” necklace you are wearing on this picture, can you share where you go it? I love it is tiny! 🙂
Danielle of WI
April 25, 2013 at 7:06 amPS) It’s Fergie’s Wet N Wild Lipstick (in Fergie Daily color)

April 25, 2013 at 7:12 amthank you so very muvh for this post! Any suggestions for people with super think lips. I have a hard time even wearing lip color becauase I don’t have a lot to work with!
Thanks!

April 25, 2013 at 6:09 pmI have really thin lips too :-\ I usually stay away from dark or bold colors, I mostly wear nudes, peaches, corals and pinks. Sometimes I just barely overdraw my top lip, I can kind of get away with it because it’s so small to begin with and I do it subtly
Sarah
May 13, 2013 at 8:11 amthe words slightly overdraw upper lip makes me cringe a little! You’re awesome for knowin how to do that! The couple times I’ve tried It looks off somehow.
Allison
April 25, 2013 at 7:43 amHi Cara! You always seem to get such strong, true color out of your lip products. Do you put any sort of primer or concealer on your lips to get that effect? Thanks!

April 25, 2013 at 8:11 amI’ve been voting – I loved your Revlon video. I’m going to Europe this summer and I’m definitely using your ideas of multitasking products. I won’t need to pack as much!
Erin
April 25, 2013 at 9:34 amMidi lip color is my fave! Never been crazy about the nude lip. Btw, I am OBSESSED with your blog Cara, it has totally changed my beauty routine. I feel so much more confident now! Thank you! 🙂
Kristin
April 25, 2013 at 9:35 amGreat post, once again! I voted too! Thanks!
Laura McDermott
April 25, 2013 at 10:08 amoh love this post!! I’m just getting into the midi lip I love it specially when taking pictures 🙂 P.S I love your necklaces where are they from?? P.P.S. I know now why the voting was cut off on Fridays, rules are we have to vote by 11:59 A.M ET Friday (also to to be eligible for that week’s prize)
Erin A.
April 25, 2013 at 10:45 amLike Allison said above, I’m curious if you put something on underneath your lipstick to neutralize your own lip color? I am wearing the Petal Rebel today, but it seems much brighter on me than it did in the picture you posted recently.
Miss Viola Swamp (@imaqt209421)
April 25, 2013 at 5:27 pmI find that when you use the Covergirl Mink liner, it makes a bright lip color more neutral.

April 25, 2013 at 2:36 pmLove this post! You somehow read my mind because I am not a bold or nude lip kind of girl and I’ve been on the hunt this week in fact to find the right color of pink lipstick. Thank you so much. Love, love, love your blog!
Gretchen joy
April 25, 2013 at 5:22 pmHaha I am one of 9 as well and I completely appreciate this! I am the third oldest, though, so my parents sorted us into brackets. “Big girls” (try not having a complex about that!) little girls and boys. So funny!
Do you have any recommendations on lip stains? I can’t wear just regular lipstick, or I haven’t had luck. I love Chapstick so I always feel like lipstick isn’t enough moisture. I have found that lip stains are a good solution. All of the ones I’ve tried dry up really quickly though. Any suggestions?
Sena
April 25, 2013 at 5:29 pmGretchen, have you tried the Maybelline Color Whisper line? I found out about them from Cara and now have FOUR! I’ve gotten several girlfriends into them too. I was a lip balm only kinda girl because everything else dries out my lips but the Color Whispers are SUPER moisturizing. They don’t last forever but most of the colors are so sheer you can reapply whenever without a mirror. I basically treat them as lip balms and love love love them! Super affordable too, give them a try. 🙂
Sena
April 25, 2013 at 5:25 pmBeen voting every day and I just shared your Revlon video on Pinterest. It is pure brilliance! You have to win this week’s challenge too, you just have to! It’s the best entry, again!

Brittany @ Brittany's Joy Blog
April 26, 2013 at 10:28 amI’m a “wear whatever I feel like” kinda lipstick girl; Darks, brights, nudes, neon….. All’s fair game if it lasts longer than an hour on. Love some of the picks you gave, so pretty!

April 27, 2013 at 11:00 amWhat is you go to lip liner so you lip stick doesn’t bleed?
Thanks !!
