The 3 Side Effects of Wearing Red Lipstick

Having the right shade lipstick can transform your look but having the right shade of red lipstick can actually transform you--the person. There's something about a rouge pucker that shines a spotlight on women that says, "Here I am!" But many women have tried red before and nothing really fit. It might have been too pale, too bright, too dark--but that also may have been years ago and make-up formulas have gone through enormous changes. Reds are redder and bolder, so ladies, don't give up just yet, in fact, take this as a cue to head out with one mission in mind and that's "get red".

Some might be thinking, is red really for me? Why not? Why exclude yourself from all the fun, and trust me ladies, the red-lipstick-wearing bunch is living it up. And why is that? They're in the same income level as you. They even have the same amount of stress as you. But these ladies have tapped into something that's driving them with heartfelt motivation. And here they are, in black in white, the 3 side effects of red.

1. Bold. Have you ever noticed how you feel after you walk into a room? There's a psychology behind color and a direct correlation on how colors affect your mood. Red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing and it's also associated as the color of love. Imagine wearing this on your lips--what signals are you sending? Bold is defined as willing to break the rules, so why not make a bold statement without saying a word, not many can get away with this but wearing red will earn you the title "a bold force to be reckoned with" but you knew that already, didn't you?

2. Confident. When you're confident, you're sure of yourself and nothing screams confident like a pair of ruby red lips. It's a little diva, but you can handle that--it's those around you that might need a handbook on the new you. Whether it's a night out on the town with the girls or you're gearing up for a date, that extra boost of confidence sure comes in handy--especially in this day and age when the dating competition is fierce. You want them to remember your every word, and why wouldn't they--they never took their eyes off your lips. In an post on ExperienceProject.com, Awuk explained her new love for red lipstick, "... last week I went in search of a red lipstick - it wasn't easy believe me, there are loads out there, but I had to have THE best. I found Maybelline's Passion Red 535 and it's perfect! I wear it everyday now for work! People even treat me differently. Someone even told me I look like a woman of authority with it on. I never thought it would suit me that much, but it really does. I have black hair and pale skin, so it's kind of a Dita Von Tease look on me - I absolutely love it! Gone are the lip glosses, gone are the pink lipsticks - red is where it's at!"

3. Sexy. Once you have bold and confident down, only one thing follows and that's sexy. Ramping up your image and boosting your sex appeal instantly is phenomenal . Some explain it's a cause and effect situation while other simply said wearing red finally allowed them to be the sexy woman they always knew existed. And right now, instead of questioning it or letting the skeptic in you come out and play, why not experiment for yourself and let red take over? What do you have to loose, remember, red is where it's at!
