wear red lipstick

I bought a beautiful shade of matte blood red lipstick from revlon. I have yet to wear it out in public. I’m not sure what keeps me from wearing it confidently out in public. My goal is to wear it.. OUT!

So I decided to pull out my lipstick/gloss case that has an assortment of different reds and to put one on! :] I decided to go with a vintage hair and make up look. I wore my Vigoss skinny jeans and a gray v-cut t-shirt from Old Navy. I also paired it with a boyfriend blazer and vintage shoes from the 1960’s that are silver and have sequins all over the toes of them! I felt like a sexy diva goddess in this! Even with the jeans and gray t-shirt. My mom wasn’t a fan and nobody started swooning at the sight of me.. but it was still a ton of fun to do. I plan on finding a perfect shade of red to go with my fair skin and red hair so I can make it one of my regulars!

Every day this week, right before leaving the house, I’ve put on the boldest shade of red lipstick I could find. The first day was a little difficult for a while, but it’s been smooth sailing since then. This isn’t gonna be a daily habit, but I’m pretty confident that I won’t have anymore problems with rocking a crimson pout.

I ADORE red lipstick, but its one of those colors that makes you feel so conspicuous and self-concious. However, it also makes me feel bold and powerful and sexy. I wear it from time to time, so I guess my goal isn’t really to wear it. It’s to wear it often and confidently.

I bought a tube of this really nice pink lipstick that I have been wearing daily. I figure it’s a good way to get used to wearing lipstick all the time, and the transition to red will be easier.

I wore a little bit today! It’s a start. I definitely want to start wearing a more noticeable shade though.

I have red lipstick and I’ve worn it before, but never outside the house! I love the way it looks on me but I’m not brave enough to wear it in public. Maybe when I’m a little older (no one my age wears lipstick these days, let alone red!) or if I have the right occassion I’ll get up the nerve. Would it count if I wore it as part of a costume?

is sitting in my makeup case right now. Truly retro. But I don’t have the guts to use it. I need the perfect dress to match it with. :)

All you have to do is stop worrying about what other people think.

L’Oreal Color Riche lipstick in “Target Red” – it’s a limited edition shade that you can only purchase at Target.

Anytime I wear an outfit fancier than a t-shirt and jeans, I dab this lightly on my lips and I’m ready to go – no other makeup necessary, as the lips take center stage. It’s a lovely look!
