Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Marilyn-d Me Your Ears


If you're going to get on board the red lipstick trend, you need a few things, the first being the right red. Here's one that would flatter a lot of people; I won't say everyone because anyone who says one color will flatter everyone is just a big, fat liar and probably trying to sell said color. And I should know. Ahem. So...try Smashbox Lavish -- described on the website as a "cherry red," it's bright and more orange than blue, which is more flattering on most people. Better for making your teeth look white, not as harsh against your skin tone. Pair it with a strong brown/gold eye for the au courant look stolen straight out of the nineties, or if you're not ready for that, a tiny bit of black liner. The other things you'll need for wearing red lipstick are time -- slap it on and you'll look like a clown -- and confidence, because baby, you will get noticed.
