Red Lips

I have somewhat of an obsession with red lips.  I just love them!  It must be the dancer in me.  At a young age and also into my "professional" dancing career I was required to sport the hue.  I went through a phase in high school where I hated makeup and thought even just a little was too much.  Somewhere between college and graduation I learned to embrace makeup, with special regard for the red lip. I feel like it's so classic, and you can look immediately pulled together / more done-up when you have a red lip.  You don't need much else.  You can pump it up with other makeup for a dramatic night out on the town or leave the rest of your look pretty natural and it can be casual as well.  One place I haven't ventured to wear the red lip is work.  I just . . can't do it.  I save it for off-duty hours (;

The shade that I have been sporting most as of late is 'Love That Red' by Revlon.  'Ruby Woo' by Mac is another one of my faves.

My favorite red lipstick celebrity, Gwen Stefani:
