Red Lipstick: The Timeless Choice

Red lipstick is the oldest shade of lipstick since the beginning of makeup thousands of years ago. Precious gemstones and red pigments were ground together and applied to the lips and cheeks, berries were used as stains and terrifyingly, led based creams with intense red pigment rose onto the scene. From there on, lipstick became the tube based travel friendly confidence provider it is now.

Every skin colour suites red lipstick, especially because it comes in many shades from true red, pink red, purple red, blue red, etc.

I sport the same red lipstick almost every single day- Lady Danger matte by MAC

This has always been my favourite red just because of how bright it is. Lady Danger has a slightly orange hue which bounces off my pink toned skin and that gives it that POP.

Now matter if your look is vintage, funky, retro, modern, simplistic. A red lipstick always works.
