A Rave For Red

I'll be honest, it took me a long time to wear red lipstick anywhere aside from the football field during a half time show (I was a dance team member). However, I recently decided to brave the color that move fashionistas declare as a "must have".

One thing I really noticed is how different I feel when I'm wearing the red lipstick. It's like the days that I wear my red, suede heels. I feel powerful and confident, ready to take on the world. When I wear my red lipstick I'm no longer in jeans and a blouse at a quiet office, I'm a powerful marketing exec who is going to look amazing as she promotes her company.

I recently wore the red to an important interview I had a couple of weeks ago.  As I put the color on my lips while sitting in my car I realized that a little bit of color boosted my confidence and I was ready to prove my worth to the board of directors for a local chamber of commerce.  When the interview finished I knew I had rocked.  I won't say that my confidence is completely due to a lip color, but I will say that it didn't hurt.  

Not sure if red lipstick works on everyone?  Here is a photo of me in a before and after shot of the red lipstick.
