According to the National Day Calendar, there are over 1,200 national days we can celebrate. In my opinion, National Lipstick Day on July 29 has to be one of the best! Lipstick polishes off any look no matter how simple or extravagant. Not feeling like applying a full face of foundation and eyeshadow? Throw on some mascara and your favorite lip and you are ready for the day. If you are preparing for a glitzy occasion, you can never go wrong with a bold red. Lipstick can change with your mood and it is one of the easiest ways to try something new with your make up. Whether you like creamy, matte or glossy, find a new color at NorthPark’s beauty retailers. Post a photo of yourself with #NationalLipstickDay and spread the love!

Creamy bright colors that are super-saturated glide on for the perfect amount of color. Pop your pout with a classic berry or red.
