#so Sky-Shifter is my sona and has been since I was 12 #so you know for 20 ducking years and that’s never changing #but about two years ago I started working on the idea for an actual furry fursona #I’ve kinda had conflicted feelings about whether I wanted them to be another sona or just another character #cause I love Sky and she’s perfect #but idk I really want to have like an actual sparkledog fursona too #been looking on da and hit with so much inspiration again #I have a weekend off for once and aside from running to dunkin and the bookstore I’m free #so I’m thinking I’m diving in with finalizing her design today #I was looking at like rave clothing and I have so much inspiration and I’m like 90% sure I know what I want her outfit to look like #she’s gonna have a feral form too and I kinda have an idea for markings and stuff #also stuck on a name #anyways I guess she’s technically a sparklegloom #she’s a canine/fox-sort of thing with a skull for a head #I think she’s mostly black with a striped tail and colorful tipped ears and colorful markings #can’t decide if I want her to be black/neon pink or black/neon turquoise #going with a black/neon pink/neon orange with a bit of neon turquoise for her outfit colors #debating about names still but kinda leaning towards like Jinx or Hex #she a witchy raver #I’m excited to draw her c: #been trying to draw more lately and it’s been going good #trying to force myself out of my comfort zone which has worked- I needed a change of pace #also trying embrace the whole ‘I am cringe but I am free’ thing XD

Happy Jojo Friday! 

This is a tentative list of some lipsticks I was request to compile that gave me that Jojo-esque vibe. These are mostly lipstick colors I see character wear (also their color of their outfits) and have found real life matches for or just colors I feel fit in nicely with that Jojo aesthetic. I will definitely continue to add if I do find newer lipsticks that feel are worth mentioning. 

Never be afraid to experiment with color. There is never not a good time to wear bold colors. I wear one crazy lip color once a week, usually on Jojo Fridays. The first time you go out wear a green lipstick, yes, you may feel odd because people might stare. I have never gotten a bad comment. If anything, I get compliments and get told they wished they could wear green or blue lipstick. My reply? “What’s stopping you?!” But don’t be embarrassed! Live boldly! Fuck what other people think.

Put on your green lipstick and go out there and make Dio proud!

[long post, so everything is under the cut! also PS: no affiliate links/not sponsored. I just like makeup and Jojo. If you like this sort of content and would like to see more, let me know!]

Advice: Before you jump into this list I do have some advice.  Make sure to prime and line your lips! Not lipstick is completely immune to transfer or fading. So also keep you lipstick color with you to reapply when it starts to fade. 

Priming: You want to protect your lips the same way you protect your face when you apply makeup. Using a lip primer (I use Ozone from Urban Decay and NYX glitter glue) will help the colors last and help it go on smoothly. With certain colors that I know fade at the water line fast, I use both Ozone and NYX’s glitter glue. I go in and use Ozone then apply a tiny amount the glitter glue on my bottom lip, along the water line. After letting that drying I go over it again with Ozone. After that I go in and line my lips before applying the lipstick.    

Lining your lips: These colors do tend to feather around the lips after sometime, so lining your lips to keep it from feathering or bleeding out is a must!

“But I can’t find a lip liner in blue or green!”  Find yourself a white lip liner or a shade closest to your natural lip color. I use one that is slightly darker than my lip color and I have had no issues with feather or color bleeding. 

ColourPop 

Under $10

By far my favorite makeup brand. I have never had any issues with any ColourPop product. They are an indie brand that is also very budget friendly. I put them first on the list because they are affordable and when trying out these colorful lip colors for the first time you may not want to spend $15+ on something you may or may not like.  

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Sweetener (cool fuchsia)

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Cheetah (lilac/cool-toned lavender)

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – JV (cool dark denim

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Confetti Cake (teal green)

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Getty (deep teal)

ColoruPop Lux Lipstick – Trill Seeker (periwinkle)

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Check, Please (yellow-orange)

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Around the World (red-orange)

ColourPop Lux Lipstick – Aeronaut (Black)

ColourPop Lippie Stix – Chi Chi (true orange)

ColourPop Lippie Stix – Are You Surreal (Vibrant hot pink)

ColourPop Lippie Stix – Tickler (“neon” pink)

ColourPop Lippie Stix – Heart On (cool-toned magenta)

ColourPop Ultra Stain Lip – The Rabbit (bright fuchsia)

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip – Dr. M (deep green)

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip – Friday (Black)

 Anastasia Beverly Hills

$18-$40  Anastasia has always been good to me. Great pigmentation. Their mattes don’t dry out my lips and they last a long time. They are a bit on the expensive side. I only own the more colorful shades from this brand because of their longevity and comfort. I don’t own any of their nude color lipsticks. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick – Insomniac (Faded teal)

ABH Liquid Lipstick – Requiem (metallic blackened teal)

ABH Liquid Lipstick – Nocturnal (Indigo Blue)

ABH Liquid Lipstick – Violet (cool-toned purple)

ABH Liquid Lipstick – Clover (“stormy” lilac)

ABH Liquid Lipstick – Rio (blue-toned hot pink)

ABH Matte Lipstick – Insomniac (mint turquoise)

ABH Matte Lipstick – Cobalt (cobalt blue)

ABH Matte Lipstick – Midnight (black)

ABH Matte Lipstick – Rage (vivid grape)

ABH Lip Palette (palette for mixing lip colors to create a custom color)

 Fenty Beauty

$18

If you ask, you will get mixed comments about these lipsticks. I like what I have used, but you do have to prep and prime because they do wear at the water line fast. Or they just don’t apply well to the water line. But with proper priming, they last. I love the shade One of the Boyz (it is definitely the shade Abbacchio wears) and Midnight Wasabi (or as I like to call it, Dio green). 

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Midnight Wasabi (deep green)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Turks and Caicos (deep teal)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Ya Dig? (periwinkle)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – One of the Boyz (lilac)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Violet Fury (Vivid Violet)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Clapback (True Navy)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Tiger Tini (orange)

Mattemoiselle Lipstick – Saw-C (tangerine)

 Urban Decay

$19

I own more of their nude and vampy colors, but they do last and wear comfortable. 

Vice Lipstick – Control (Blue)

Vice Lipstick – Heroine (navy blue)

Vice Lipstick – Pandemonium (Purple)

Vice Liquid Lipstick – MAD (Shimmery bright purple)

 NYX

Under $10

NYX is a brand I have a love/hate relationship with. Most of their products I either enjoy or I just end up returning or throwing out (thank goodness they are relatively inexpensive). Jet Set so far has been the only liquid lipstick from their lipstick lines that I liked and don’t have issues with. But perhaps you will fare better. 

Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick – Little Denim Dress (sky blue)

Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick – Jet Set (Royal Blue with purple under-tone)

Notable mentions:

TooFaced: I own some of their Melted Mattes and they are great, but they do tend to dry the lips and can sometimes flake off when you reapply throughout the day.

Kat Von D: I still own some of her liquid lipsticks. They are great and she has a wide range of colorful shades, but I no longer support her brand and try not to purchase from her if I can help it. 

Black Moon Cosmetics: Tons of colorful shades! But I’ve never tried this brand before. They are on my list to try next.
