| In Praise of Red Lipstick Red lip color originated in ancient Mesopotamia. Wealthy women would crush precious red jewels to try to give their lips a red tint. The ancient Egyptians went on to perfect the technique by crushing flowers and even seaweed. Cleopatra went on to experiment with crushed red beetles and ants. Thankfully, today s woman does not have to go to such extremes to obtain what the ancient Egyptians considered a luxury and it is no longer "one shade fits all". Red lipstick is available in many shades and textures which will flatter any skin tone. When picking a shade of red, I recommend not only taking your skin tone into consideration, but also the natural color of both your lips and your teeth. Women who have gold undertones in their skin, like olive skin tones, may wish to pick a lipstick with some brown mixed into it. My very favorite in this category is Revlon s sheer lipstick in "Wine with everything". Women who have pink undertones in their skin may wish to use a watermelon Crimson Tide 41 Courtney Upshaw Red Stitched NCAA Jersey or cherry red. Clinique s lipstick in "Angel Red" and Chanel s lipstick in "Pretty" fall into this last category. For those of us who have a lot of color in our natural lips, a gloss might prove to be a better choice. Some of my favorites Mountaineers 13 Andrew Buie White Stitched NCAA Jersey are Bath and Bodyworks gloss in "Candy Apple and Cover Girl Lipslicks in "Hint of Red". (The later can be a little tougher to find. Look for the gloss in the blue container). Then there is the eternally reliable Chanel lip gloss in "Red Shine". The last thing to consider here is your teeth. Blue based red lipsticks with make your teeth look whiter while brown based red lipsticks cannot offer this benefit. Ok, you have your red lipstick. Now, when is red lipstick appropriate? The key to making red work at anytime is to keep all of your other makeup to the bare minimum and to consider your surroundings. Red lipstick in lighter shades or glosses is appropriate for work. Darker shades should probably be reserved for evenings Badgers 16 Russell Wilson Red Stitched NCAA Jersey or the office Christmas party. Whatever shade or format you choose, enjoy yourself. Self confidence is the best beauty enhancer. I love my red lipsticks and lip glosses. After all, is there a simpler way to transform one s self into a modern day Cleopatra?
