A Kiss Is Still A Kiss

I asked a bunch of my handsome guy friends their take on lipstick on a woman. I asked if it mattered whether it was dark or neutral, and I was astonished to find out that they did not like it at all. Not a single one of them gave me a yes. Pretty astonishing when you think of what a HUGE business it is for women, with new shades on the market every season, in every possible color. I love the way certain shades can add to or enhance a woman's beauty. I find it alluring. I always notice it and have been known to ask complete strangers what they are wearing. So it is no shock that I have a few tubes of my own, with red being my latest area of exploration. The holiday season is right around the corner, so why not make a statement that is a retro way to ring in the new year or meet under the mistletoe. If you find a shade you that flatters your skin tone, just go for it. After all, what's love got to do with it.
