Celebrating National Lipstick Day In Red!

This repeat photo of me in the Tuscan hilltop town of San Gimigiano at a wonderful small but packed gallery full of so much wonderful art!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am head over heels for the color RED. I have my glasses, of course, and you can often find the color somewhere else in my ensemble. However, one thing that I do obsessively, and that I am questioned about the most is this: I ALWAYS wear Red Lipstick. I will leave my home with no make-up on but always wearing my red lipstick. Whether its running a weekend errand, exercising early in the AM at the gym or walking around the neighborhood, it is the one make-up item that I never leave home without. As you can see below… red looks good on every skin tone, elevates your complexion to a glow status and even makes your teeth look whiter…….it’s perfect for any settings.

Did you know? When you wear red lipstick, people perceive you to be younger than you are! This happens because as we age, our lips lose color. Adding that pop of color back in to the mix immediately gives the wearer a look of gracefulness, confidence, strength and power. What I know is that when I apply it, it makes my face glow, look younger and I feel confident enough to take on anything.  We can thank celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani, Debbie Harry and even Queen Elizabeth I to thank for elevating this shade of lip color from sleazy to regal! But don’t just take my word for it… hear what resident beauty expert Chelsi Ostreich has to say about crimson lips…

For some reason, red lipstick is scary for a lot of people, but I believe that everyone can (and should) wear red lipstick.  At least from time to time.  It can instantly brighten your complexion and make a statement all on its own. Finding the right red can take some time – is a blue or orange undertone better for you?  Let a pro makeup artist help you test a few out to find one that suits you best but after you find the one, wear it proudly and often!

I could go on and on on why RED LIPS are just a part of who I am, however, I am constantly asked which colors I wear and like the most. Well, I’ve decided to share my picks! Below are all current colors straight from my make-up tray and bag that I use frequently. Believe me, Red Lips are HOT right now so there are many more colors out there to choose from. As Chelsi says, your first decision has to be whether you like an “orange” red or a “blue” red and believe it or not, you will find limitless choices.
