Red Lipstick?

February 2, 2007 10:12am CST
Anyone wear it? I have before on special occassions but always think it look a bit too much, specially as I'm very pale. It looks great on celebrities such as Christina Aguilera & Beyonce though. Do you think its a good look?

I do. I'm tan, lighter than Beyonce's skin. I also love dark brown, dark purple, pale pink and pale lilac.

I am older so it looks horrible on me but I think it looks nice on a younger person xx

Oh I LOVE red lipstick. Beauty editors in magazines always say there's a shade that suits everyone but I've never found mine yet. Like you I'm very pale and it just never seems to look right on me. Really wish I could wear it though. I think the best "red lipstick wearer" is Gwen Stefani - it looks fabulous on her.

I usually wear red or a mauveish/red color...both very bold. I am extremly pale--almost ghost like lol. I have black hair though, and love it! I think it depends on the person and how the person wears it. Some skin tones don't look very good in it, others do.

It's a matter of how you apply it and match it with other make up, I don't think it would look bad if you're pale and you use red lipstick. In fact I think it would be seductive because your lips will stand out.. :) I don't use lipstick that much when there's an occasion I would, I'd rather use lip gloss.. It would still make my lips look shiny and luscious.. :)

It really depends on your skin color like you have mentioned. I am not a lipstick type of a person. I am a lipgloss girl more than anything.
