Red Lipstick: Trashy or Classy?!

This is just a quick blog post I wanted to make about wearing red lipstick. So, this blog URL use to be "classy red lips girl", but I changed it because I like my current one better. So, you pretty much already know my opinion on this.

But, I know there has always been debate upon this topic. Some people believe red lipstick looks messy, clownish, or slutty. But I believe if you wear it correctly, it will look bold and beautiful.

Seldom times will I be out and see people with bright red lipstick, that's just the truth flat out. I think it makes you stand out from everyone else. Let's face it, plain old pink lip glosses can be boring sometimes.

I have a few tips for you, if you're kind of afraid to go for that red lip. Try to build the rest of your face makeup around the lipstick. Meaning, you have to keep the rest of your face fairly simple, especially with the eye makeup. Wearing red lipstick with nude eyeshadow and cat liner is a classic look that I personally just LOVE.

You should also make sure the red doesn't clash with your skin tone. Another tip if you're afraid of it looking a little slutty, don't wear it with a short dress. ;)

Lip stains do last longer than the lipstick would and I suppose wouldn't be as 'messy', if you're worried about that.

Here's basically the golden rule with wearing red lipstick: Classy, if worn with neutral eye makeup and a sophisticated outfit. Trashy, if worn with heavy eye makeup and the wrong outfit.

If you really want to wear red lipstick, go ahead and don't worry what anyone else thinks. YOLO, right? (Haha, I'm so cool...not)
