Red Lipstick, the 24/7 Face
Brightener...
Who
says a bold lip is limited to the
night?
 I
have been getting mixed advice on this
topic that truly affects me. I love
red lipstick, the darker shades--
mostly brownish reds and burgundy reds
that look the best with my coloring
compared to any other color--BUT, I
have been reading that reds are for
night and I should pick something
lighter for day.
I asked a woman at the Elizabeth Arden
counter and one at the Estee Lauder
counter and they both said it was fine
for day because I could pull it off.
Is this true? Estee Lauder even picked
out a red for me, "Very Red" from their
Futurist Line, a brown based red. Am I
committing a
fashion no-no???

 Why
wimp out with a pale mouth, when you
can radiate with red? There are colors
that are definitely
more happening
each season, but common beauty sense
should always prevail.
Read this: Wear what color looks best
on you! Make your
personal beauty
statement and if you want to follow a
trend, tweak it to suit you.
A darker, strong lip happens to be
very hot right now, a little more to
the purplish plums and reds, rather
the fire engine bright. Reddish-browns
are the most universally wearable
shades. But, the precise shade really
depends most on your skin coloring and
clothing.
A darker lip looks more modern and
casual when it's the focal point-- that
means, play down your eyes and let
your lips pop. The lipstick formula is
paramount to keep the look strong and
simple. A creamy or glossy bold lip is
more formal, not to mention messy!
Matte, sheer, or a lip stain offer
more kissable looking lips, are better
for daytime, and provide better
staying power.
