No doubt about it –Mary O'Neill

Why would someone ever live without it? 


What's the first color that comes to mind when you hear classic, passion, romance, sexiness, power, and prestige? If you're like most people, it's the color RED. There's a reason businesspeople wear the red power tie, and celebrities and VIPs walk down the red carpet.

Red is a color that demands attention. Studies published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology prove that both men and women find the opposite sex more attractive if they wear red.

     Oh là là


Women view men in red as more attractive, wealthy, and higher in status, versus men in other colors. AND women wearing red are seen as more confident, physically attractive, and when on a date, guys admit they spend more money on women wearing red.

When we see the color red, our heart beats a little faster because subconsciously, the color indicates that the other person is seductive and bold. Red signals that the other person has sex appeal is romantic, confident, and passionate. 

 

If you're a woman looking to make a statement but don't want to wear a whole red ensemble and only want to make someone's heartbeat a little faster, What better way to do it than with your lips?! 

 

Nothing screams; I'm a confident, influential superstar, more than a bold red lipstick.

 

 Think of all the movies stars and up-and-coming starlets who wear red lipstick. Don't think for one minute; they don't know what they're doing.

Superstars aren't the only ones who look great in bold red lipstick. The color looks good on just about anyone, and you need to find the shade that's perfect for your skin tone. 

 

Pale and fair-skinned women such as Gwen Stefani should stick with reds with blue or brown undertones, which look fantastic against fair skin.
