3. It embodies strength and femininity: The red lipstick has been a classic symbol for strength and beauty within women all throughout history. One of the most powerful women, Cleopatra, was known for her cherry-reddened lips. She would make others crush up thousands of beetles just to get the dark-pigment of this color. It even symbolized her power as she wore a beautiful red lip while her subjects’ wore a dull and rusted tone on theirs. If you’re searching for a color that is classy, polished, and bold for your next date night, pick up a striking red lipstick to feel powerful and in control.
4. It plays up youth: As we get older, our eyes, lips, and complexion get paler. It’s just part of the aging process. But, there is something a red lipstick does that can liven you up and make you look more youthful with a term called ‘facial contrast.’ This contrast is the process of balancing out the paleness of our features with a vibrant color somewhere on our face. By using a striking red lip, it automatically flatters our skin. If you’re wanting to create a more youthful and playful look for date night, we recommend one swipe of your most vibrant red lipstick before you head out!
