Today's post is in honor of perhaps the most classic cosmetic product of all time. Red Lipstick!
Lipstick has been around a loooong time, dating back 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Historical icons such as Cleopatra and Queen Elizabeth I were known for their cosmetic practices, that we still emulate to this day. When it comes to red lipstick in particular however, my mind always travels to the film sets and lavish parties of Old Hollywood. Red lipstick seems to take on a life of its own by bringing a sense of elevated glamour and style. Red lipstick has survived throughout countless other trends and times and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon!Choosing the right red for your skin tone can be challenging since there are so many variations. For those with pink undertones to their skin, choose a cooler, blue based red and for those with warm yellow undertones, choose an orange based red. If you think a full on red lip is too dramatic for you, try a red lip stain or gloss for a rosy hint of color.
Here are just some of my favorite "Red Lip Moments" from some very glamorous women throughout the years!
Until Next Time!
Stay Classy & make sure you don't have lipstick on your teeth!
