But if it looks good on you, go for it- what's life without a little daring? And cut-pasting links without forgetting the "Paste" part is harder than one would think!<BR/>Atelier: To be truthful, I never liked my banana gloss very much. But I think a lot of my new comfort with red lipstick has come with age- my 16 or 18-year-old self would probably have scrubbed it right off her mouth. Twenty-three is much more comfortable.<BR/>Romeika: The red lipstick will be something I save for when I feel I need the specialness, as Susie puts it- which won't be every day. I'm happy enough with my glosses for daywear, just like you.<BR/>Teresa: I suspect a lip stain will be the next step for me, a transition between gloss and lipstick seems in order when I go to work. <BR/>I personally thought Barbie was a pink lipstick girl and not a gloss girl- not that that should put us off gloss..<BR/>Amanda: Like Suzanna says, I'm sure there's something for everyone (even me- the post was motivated partly by surprise). And thank you for finding my ramblings inspiring and not nonsensical!

As for the kissing part, I really do like the image you just put in my head...hee hee. Though in the interests of fairness, lip gloss- depending on how long ago it was applied- can be tremendously messy, too. <BR/>Indi: My mum is also of the school that believes red looks strange on me. But it feels so good, and the not working on Indian skin myth is just that- a myth. Maybe a lot of people just aren't comfortable with something that's so attention-grabbing?<BR/>Thanks for the nomination, and the compliment too :)<BR/>Suzanna: I've never been good at figuring out makeup, but this did teach me that there's something for everyone even if we aren't Wendy. :)<BR/>I didn't mention it in the post, but there was extensive usage of a lip brush involved. I think it looks a bit more polished that way, than applied straight from the tube..Blue Floppy Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924517166595597734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-68235873799246202972008-01-17T09:04:00.000-08:002008-01-17T09:04:00.000-08:00Red doesn't work for me (blonde, light eyes, light...Red doesn't work for me (blonde, light eyes, light skin), but it looks wonderful on so many other people (LIKE WENDY B!!). And there is such a wide selection of products available--know your undertones first and finding the perfect shade should be easy!<BR/><BR/>I do wear brick red, but I always find the application irritating.

Try MAC's long-lasting Lust...it's like a matte gloss and it doesn't budge. Also practice makes perfect as far as keeping it on. As for kissing? Screw that! When you wear red lipstick, men kneel at your feet and kiss your toes until you deign to take your lipstick off and honor them with lip access. And that's how it's supposed to be.WendyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985099019783464580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-1174919356672660262008-01-17T03:17:00.000-08:002008-01-17T03:17:00.000-08:00That sounds to me like the the purest shade of red...That sounds to me like the the purest shade of red for you and save for the messiness, I reckon you should buy it just to feel those few moments of special-ness.
