When it comes to beauty women do not seek easy ways. But in the history of love-hate relation to red lipstick most women acknowledged their defeat and abandoned it. But as recently as late 19th century when German moralists argued thatred lipstick was an attribute of streetwalkers, women bit their lips as hard as they could to make them look brighter.
Maybe those who reject red color do not dread the color itself but the effects it brings about.
There are three reasons for that.
- First, an old stereotype: red lips deliver an aggressive message, red color is for femme fatale type. It depends, though. Did gentle Audrey Hepburn look like posing any threat to others? She did usered lipstick!
- Second, girls often think that red color doesn’t match their complexion. This is an inexcusable misunderstanding. The red lipstick comes in some eighty shades and one of them will surely be right for you.
- Third, the red lipstick has no tolerance for fuss. Leading Sisley’s makeup artist Christian Guglietta chimes in: “This is not the lipstick you can quickly rouge your lips with in a taxi. But you should believe that when at last you find your shade of red, you will stay before a mirror with greater pleasure”.
