No shave November, Movember, whatever you call it , it means the same thing: stylized beards and stylized moustaches. Whether they are big bushy beards, Gerard Butler scruff or moustaches inspired by the chef from The Little Mermaid, you'll be sure to see an excess of facial hair any which way you look.

But what about the girls … what do we do this month while all the boys and their beards get the attention?

Do we just sit like the lovely women we are and do nothing? Well, YOU can if you want, but I refuse.

I want to join in on the fun. I want to get to partake in this month where everyone unites and does something together, like a team.

So from this year on, I will be starting my own November tradition. From now on I will be wearing lipstick every day of the eleventh month. Yes, lipstick! I will try to wear a new colour every day; however, I do not have 30 colours so I will have to double up on a few shades.

It seems like nowadays no girls ever wear lipstick anymore; it's a fashion trend that seems to have died. Why, though?

It truly is an accessory, a splash or pop of colour to an outfit without having to really buy anything too expensive. Low-end lipstick retails for about $9 a tube. It lasts for what seems like forever, because let's face it, many women have plenty of old and half-used lipstick containers.

The thing about lipstick is you sort of have to take care of it. You have to apply lip liner that is either clear or matches the lipstick's colour, and on top of that, you have to reapply because you want an even tone.

A tip before lipstick application is to exfoliate lips. This ensures the lipstick is dispersed evenly upon the lips; this will also make lips look plumper and rid them of any flakes. Before you apply your lipstick, make sure you apply lip liner or else your lipstick will bleed through little crevices that transition your lips to the surrounding skin.

When looking for the right lipstick hue and shade, make sure you consider things such as the colour of your teeth and the colour of your skin. Dark skin tones should go with bold brights, not light colours. Light skin tones should look for colours with light shades and orangey reds. Olive skin tones have quite a lot of freedom and are welcome to choose any colours.

I come to next point: teeth colouring. Yes, I'm serious. Yellow teeth — not hot. But there really is a solution!

Many lipsticks — and even some glosses — have beautiful blue undertones that make your teeth look whiter. When you look at the lipstick, you should be able to see little hints of blues.

So next time you're looking for a lipstick that suits you, make sure you consider a few of the elements mentioned above; they can really save you from making any beauty don'ts.
