    While red is not my go-to lip color, the combination of red lipstick and a simple cat eye is one of the most classic combinations in makeup for a formal event!

  • Tiff Tess

    Red lipstick is my ‘special occasion’ beauty product. I rarely wear it during the day, but at night if I really want to make my look pop, I’ll go for a swipe of bold red. To me, red lipstick equals CONFIDENCE – it means you’re not afraid to be bold + go for a look that turns heads. I love it!

  • Taylor

    Wearing red makes me feel bold! And a touch more confident!

  • Jasmine

    I LOVE wearing red lipstick. It was one of the very first colors I started to wear when I first got into makeup. It always made me feel bold and classic, as well as empowered, sexy, and confident. If I ever need a boost in self confidence I always go for red. It instantly changes my mood and I’m ready to go!

  • Rose

    Everytime I wear red lipstick, I really feel confident like, I can rule the world. When I am happy and wearing a red lipstick, it makes me really pretty. But when someone annoys me, I always tell them to “read my red lips” and will say “Go away or I’ll kick your ass.” I love red lipsticks. It’s a perfect day-to-night staple.

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      Love this!!!

    Red lipstick to me means turning the ordinary into extraordinary. I worship the confidence, beauty, and poise of women in old film and vintage style. Their trade mark look was a classic bold red lip, with smooth skin and a stunning come hither smile. When I put red on my lips, a touch of mascara and a pinch of blush, I feel put together, very feminine and ready to deal with anything that comes my way.

    • Natalie Carmili-Mazloumi

      I agree! Even Mary Poppins wore red lipstick and as a child, I was obsessed with her!

  • I love bolder lipsticks.. deep reds are my go-to! But I have a substantial collection of reds from sheers, balms right into red-orange mattes and some deeper wine-red shimmers and satins. A girl can never have too many red lipsticks!

  • Tenley Erickson

    Red Lipstick= Glam! Nothing draws attention to your lips like a Powerful Red Pout! ♥ Red is my choice when I really want to make a statement.

  • Jamie Simchayof

    When I see someone else wear a red lip they look confident and sexy. I rarely wear red but I would love to start stepping out of my nude comfort zone and gain the confidence to pull off the red lip!

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      Step out Jamie!! It would look so good on you!!

  • Julie

    Red lipstick makes me feel fancy. Day to day, I’m definitely a neutrals girl, so I don’t wear red lips that often. However, I think red lipstick is gorgeous and glamorous, and thus a perfect way to stand out for a special occasion.

  • Cynderma

    Red lipstick makes me feel like my mother. Her signature lipstick color was red. She passed away a couple years ago. She was a strong women with a sense of style. In fact, she instilled this style in all her children. She wore rich, stylish clothes. When I wear red lip stick I feel empowered. My Twitter name is @cynderma. Instagram @bloomover50

  • Vicky Ortiz

    Red lipstick makes me feel on fire and extremely confident!

  • On days I need to feel empowered, confidant and beautiful, I wear Red lipstick. There is something about putting it on that makes me feel like I’m able to conquer the world, win that interview, or simply catch the eye of that cute guy. When I wear it in the evening, I feel Glamorous, like I’m a Movie Star walking the Red Carpet. I stand a little taller and have a little more sway in the hips when I walk. It doesn’t matter that I’m only a 5’2 over weight Grandmother, I put on my Red Lipstick and for the moment I am young again.

  • Bunga Siahaan

    Red lipatick makes me feel all kinds of amazing. I can be having a bad day and it cam make me feel better. When I want to feel badass, I put it on. Red lipstick has been my signature look for a while now.

  • SLR

    Red is My POWER Color! I wear Red Lipstick Almost Every Single Day!!! (I am A Professional Dominatrix…Seriously!) It makes Everything I’m Saying Better Understood!

  • Diana Devlin

    I seldom wear red lipstick because I feel like it’s too bold for me. But the few times I do wear it, I feel strong and confident.

  • Melissa Rivera

    Red lipstick to me means sexy , fiesty and bold. I know when I wear it I seriously even get the best pics from the bold beauty.. Red is my favorite hey my hair is red lol.. Some people see red as angry or rage I see it as making a statement . ?

  • Blaze Tulip

    When I wear red lipstick I feel like a boss. But it depends on my outfit if I am a sexy boss, powerful boss, mysterious boss, or a idol boss! Bold lips can do so much for a persons self esteem and self awareness. @trippsgotlips for both Twitter and Instagram

  • Lola

    Honestly, when I wear a red lip I just feel very daring. I’m normally understated and natural when it comes to make up, but red lipstick ignites a fire in me for a special night. Somehow I feel like I can step outside of my shell and become someone a bit more adventurous and sexy.

  • Ellen Willett

    I know make up and fragrances can influence our moods, but with all sincerity,
    red lipstick has and does give me a high tend sense of being shrewd and quick witted. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but seems that I’m more approachable and canny, as well. 🙂 #Pampadour #urbandecaygiveaway

  • Rebecca B

    When I wear red lipstick I feel like a superhero! @unboxfoxsweeps

  • Sylvana

    Red lip stick makes me feel confident and sexy. Generally, I do not wear makeup, but on the occasion that I feel like getting glammed up, I usually do that with red lipstick. It makes me feel like I have a super power when I see others looking at my lips. It also helps me to step outside of my “safe box”, and say “I am woman. Hear me roar!”

  • Debbie

    Red lipstick makes me feel like a I can take on the night, the day or the world! It gives me that extra “oompfh” when I need it. It’s such a little extra thing but man oh man does it have power to empower! #teamredlipstick

  • Marisela Bennett

  • I feel so bold!

  • Marlene

    ??❤️ Yes! Can’t hide the truth with the proof of some studies. The way red lipstick makes me feel is totally fierce, just pulls your whole look together. Just last year I was not into color on my lips but now I see what I was missing. I love red lipstick???
    It’s bold and classy just makes me feel like I got everything under control, can never go wrong with red lips.

  • Leslie Guzman

    Growing up, I barely lipstick. Overtime, I started to experiment more with different colors. Red is absolutely one of my favorite colors for a lipstick. The color alone makes me feel sexy, confident & daring. It gives me a boost of self-confidence & makes me feel like Snow White.

  • Annamaria Carlisi

    A red lipstick transforms
    me from ordinary to spectacular! It makes me feel like I’m the most desirable
    woman in the world! I don’t wear it often because it can be too distracting for
    me and I’ll be transported into the land of make believe! Make up does that to
    me overall. It brings me out of the everyday life into a world of beauty where everything
    is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. It is as simple as that!

  • Chelsea

  • Sarah B.

    A red lip makes a bold statement, and therefore, requires a bold attitude to go with it. A red lip is my definite go-to makeup look when I’m going for a more classic and sophisticated look. It’s perfect for both classing up a casual outfit and for complementing a night where I want to dress up to the nines. Instagram & Twitter: @slbatchelor

    Red lipstick to me means fearless. I feel like as soon as a put on that color I can do anything. It really just gives me a sense of power and boldness for the day. It makes me feel like a true woman. Like a “heck yeah I can rock this” type of attitude.

    • Tiff Tess

      Completely agree – it’s kind of like putting on a superhero cape! 😉

  • Maria J.

    I personally feel like a Hollywood starlet whenever I wear red lipstick, in the sense that I feel very confident and it demands it’s own crowd, it’s own attention and sometimes even steals the show. I like to feel like my own version of Marilyn Monroe when she would wear red lips to any event, very important and very eye catching! Whenever I’ve worn red lipstick (at least in the right shade of it) I normally get compliments and while red lipstick does give me confidence it’s great to feel complimented because a lot people don’t feel they can rock red lips or are too scared it might be too bold and I just feel they haven’t found their perfect shade of red.?I always say✊OWN that Red lipstick like a Red Carpet, don’t let it Own You!?

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      I keep buying red lipsticks but have yet to be able to walk out the door wearing it. I love it on everyone else, just not myself.

      • Maria J.

        Don’t worry, you’ll find the shade you’re comfortable with someday! I used to have the same thoughts, but one of my favorites is Maybelline Red Revival because every time I wear it I get compliments and a lot people think I’m wearing a High-end lipstick which is my favorite part. Certain shades of red can be unflattering, but never doubt that you can be fierce, that’s what red lipstick is made for!?

  • gina blades

    i feel confident, sexy and bold when I wear red lipstick.

  • Barb Yewa

    Quick story time 🙂 The first time I actually wore any type of lipstick was to prom of my junior year. My sister did my makeup and covered my lips in a lovely red shade. That night, I went out to a fancy restaurant with my date, who was just an acquaintance (a very nice one though!). When we got to the banquet, there were very cautious parents administering breathalyzers to anyone who wanted to go in. They let my date go in but pulled me aside and made me take three or four. Little did I know that I had red stains all over my teeth, and they thought that I had red wine! Horrors! Anyway, the moral of the story is to make sure you set your red lipstick. After you do this, go out and make a difference in the world, for I believe red lipstick truly is empowering!!

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      That’s great story!!! Do you use a powder to set the red lipstick?

      • Barb Yewa

        Yep! I blot my lips with a tissue and then apply translucent powder over the tissue to make my lipstick stay put!

  • I still haven’t found my perfect shade of red, I have been looking everywhere. So right now I am looking to find a red that makes me feel sexy!

  • judy o

    i have to admit that i am still not totally comfortable with bright red lipstick, but since i have a few tubes, i found the perfect way to wear them. i have a beautiful, creamy silver lipstick, and putting that over the red i end up with a gorgeous color with which i am more than comfortable

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      That’s a really cool trick! I may have to try that! I have about 10 red lipsticks that I never ever wear.

  • LilyBiscuit

    I don’t wear red lipstick often, but, when I do, it makes me feel polished. It’s a sophisticated shade!

    Red lipstick is daring and fierce! I always feel as if I am channeling my favorite blogger – dallaswardrobe – especially when I pop a clear gloss on top! But I’m always weary of it ending up on my teeth!

  • PrettyLittleLiar412

    honestly, I feel horrible in red lipstick! I have very pale, fair skin with dark blonde/light brown hair. it looks really really bad on me. I have yet to find a red that looks good. NOw give me a good mauve or deep berry and I feel fierce! I just feel very foolish with bright red lips for some reason. and it doesn’t help because when I think I have a good one, my boyfriend says I look like a …. well you know…. not a nice word for girl who sells herself lol.

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      That’s exactly how I feel! Well, if you win this giveaway be sure to gift the lipstick to someone who would wear it and keep the blush palette for yourself 🙂

    Red lipstick make me feel on top of the world. Being an only girl with a mother who didn’t wear makeup, I never knew how it could make me feel to wear it. It make me feel confident in my skin, sexy, and my husband says I look like a bombshell.

  • Kiera

    I’m actually wearing red lipstick now! I love it because it makes me stand out and it makes me feel confident, bold, and glamorous! I started wearing it because of Gwen, so I wear it as an homage to her, and so I can pretend to be her since she is so amazing, haha!

  • cristina

    great contest
    thx for opportunity

  • Katie Burnette

    Red Lipstick is my way of telling the world, “See me. I’m having a good day and not hiding behind a my ponytail and if you’re lucky I’ll really be froggy and wearing makeup too.” I am chronically ill and often not well enough to even put on makeup and go out, much less do so often at all. It means I actually feel human for once. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this giveaway, but regardless of whether or not I win, thank you for hosting it.

    Red lipstick means bold, so when you feel average or down, a pop of red gives you the self confidence you need

  • Elyzium

    My first lipstick my mother ever bought me was a soft light red. She said to me “you are a woman now”.
    So although my shades have become more vibrant and dark as I have gown older a red lipstick still says to me, “woman power”.

    • Jennifer Hakimian

      That must have been a really special moment.

      • Elyzium

        It was. I called her after I posted this and we talked about it. She is was happy. 🙂

  • Brittany Andrews

    I never really feel attractive or beautiful, but there is something about this line and these colors that make me feel empowered as a woman. I went to a local UD to check out everything and tried on some lipsticks and couldn’t believe how different I felt just by putting on a little lipstick. I felt beautiful the rest of the day walking around, just because I took some time for myself and realized that all I did was enhance what was already there

    Red lipstick makes me feel like I can take on the world. If I’m ever in a bad mood, I put on red lipstick. It doesn’t matter if I’m dressed up to go out for the night or in my pajamas, red lipstick is my staple. An instant mood booster. A shot of confidence. An immediate dose of “You can do this.” It makes me feel like nothing can stop me.

  • Samantha Schreiner

    It makes me feel confident because most people don’t even try to wear red lips because it can intimidate a lot of people and they never try it. I tried it and loved it so now I do wear it a lot and always get complements!

  • Ona Luna

    Red lipstick can make me feel sophisticated and put-together, or wild and daring.

    A lush velvety lipstick — tripled with my long red silk-velvet coat and a pale winter face — creates a stark-yet-decadent look, like Aubrey Beardlsey’s Salomé.

    Red lipstick can summon other period looks as well — the saucy pinup from the 1950’s, the no-nonsense, buttoned up neatness of the WW2 forties, the artistic indulgences of the flappers and the silent film era.

    And as this lovely photo of Jennifer Lopez pops out to the right of of my screen, I’m recalling the deep, bold lip of the nineties, paired with au-naturel eyes. Ms. Lopez’ lips have just enough sheen and brightness make them current. With her highlighted hair, and a sheer wash of her signature glow, it’s perfection.

    So many glamorous looks can be achieved with just that touch of red!

  • backnblacck

    I love the way bold red lipstick draws in attention. It’s impossible not to do a double take when you see someone wearing bright red lipstick out in public. It makes me hold my head a little higher and show them off. A simple eye look with a bold red lip speaks for itself. The Gwen Stefani 714 lipstick is perfect. Insta- trista_marie_young

    Red lipstick makes me feel on top of the world. Like a woman in charge. It makes me feel absolutely beautiful, but a little sexy as well. It gives me a boost of confidence that I normally wouldn’t have, which is why I wear it on special occasions. A red lip is a must have for any chica who wants that extra boost to feel outrageous and fabulous.
