LOVE A RED LIP

Shanus — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 12:55:16 GMT

When done with very little colored makeup on other features, a red lip (on Ali's show) is classic.

What do you think?

I love it but think it is high maintenence, even if just for an evening. If I want red these days, I tend to go for a daytime gloss. I am not out much in the evenings anymore!!!

I also love a red lip. I have this set and love it! However, I don't apply it as heavily as shown on the models. You only need a little bit and it goes a long way especially when wearing it during the day. For evening, I would apply it heavier. This color is gorgeous.

Love a red lip on some people, but I don't feel it suits me.

I love a red lip too but for me I like it more sheer. No matter what lipstick I've tried it really dries out my lips. So I stick with balm or gloss.

When I see someone who is wearing red lipstick, or any heavy color really, all I do is stare at their mouth. I feel the same way about some eyeglass frames. I think it detracts actually.

I would feel very self-conscious wearing red lipstick or really just about any darker color.

I love a red lip too. On young women with perfect 👄 lips. On an older woman all I can think of is Norma Desmond..."All right Mr. DeMille I am ready for my closeup."😳

I think of "Baby" Jane Hudson.

My avatar loves a red lippie as you can see but irl my lips are super-thin so I don't wear the classic red lipstick. I think the lighter shades look better on my pencil-thin lips. I envy those who can rock a good red lip.

Big no for me, personally. I don't have the lips or possibly the coloring for it. I'm more a berry or raisin person. I also can't do a nude lip. For a natural lip, mauve works for me.

Because I take medications to "dry me out" I cannot wear lipstick any more. But I do like a red lip on someone else. I didn't often wear red lipstick when I was younger, but think it's great for those who can do so.

Not that I do not like the look, but lately, I've really toned it down to more natural. I'm casual most of the time, and I guess that's why.

But, it's such a 40s look! And it reminds me of my DM and aunts!

I would give my older sister a bad time when she would wear dark lipsticks.

Well guess what? I now wear darker lip color than she did years ago.

And "yes" I wear red a lot.. Also berry, deep shades and some pinks, but mostly "reds" these days.

@sunshine45 - I love Lipsense! It's the only lip product that stays on me until I take it off at night. During the pandemic, when our masks were on and off, it stayed on and didn't come off on my mask.

Red Lantern is so pretty. I'll have to check it out. I have a few reds. My favorite bright red for summer is Fly Girl!

I stopped wearing red lipsticks when I was in my early 50s. I decided it was a harsh look for me. I don't really care for darker lips on anyone. It, also, has a tendency to get on teeth which is not a good look.

@Shanus Last night I was flipping by PBS on their special on the Althrop estate. What I was taken with was the red lip on the old paintings on most of the women! Nothing on the eyes, though.

Lots of blush, too! Man, those cheeks were rosey!

From another source....one can only assume that's the way it was....it was the French court ladies who painted their lips & cheeks. The French were always considered to be more fashionable. And the English women followed suit.

LOVE a RED lip... a blue red one for me.

As I've stated many times in the past, I have a number of red lipsticks and LOVE the color but they are way too intense when worn alone. I dot the color on my lips and spread it with a lip balm. That way I still get the original color, just more sheer. I do that most of the time with my reds.

Edited to add... Laura Mercier has some beautiful reds.

You can have the best of both worlds... use the red lipstick and the balm over it. That way the color is more sheer and you get the moisture too. Just dot on the red and spread with the balm.
