| Poor SJP... not her best look |
The ageless and elegant red lipstick has recently been revamped and over used in a more casual daily setting, aka high school. My personal opinion is that let bright red lipstick stay classy and elegant- and where it belongs- by saving it for special occasions, the runway, or a night out when you are one-hundred percent sure you can pull it off. So when I see legging-clad freshmen sporting Ugg boots and a crop top, it makes my gag reflex kick in a little to notice them sporting a painstakingly bright red hue of color on their lips. Their logic? No clue. I'm not sure why some people think that by adding red lipstick you automatically look like a supermodel or something, but that is not the case. And really, I feel for you girls with orthodontic work (knowing from three years of braces hell), but red lipstick smeared on your braces and teeth is not cute... I'm saying all of this with deep love and care, not bitterness FYI.

I'm sure there is some girl out there in the midwest that nobody's heard of but who can rock red lipstick daily like it was made for her, but realistically and practically speaking... it's a tough trend to pull off and I encourage girls to save it until they are well out of the experimental-makeup stage of life (the teenage years). Not only is red lipstick hard to pull off, if not executed perfectly; teeth will look yellow, red may smear and stain, bold lips + heavy makeup = drag queen, eating with red lipstick is difficult, etc. etc. etc. (essentially, the list goes on and on).

Don't get me wrong, red lipstick CAN be elegant, dramatic, and a statement. But where and when you choose to attempt this feat matters very much. So taking all of my red lipstick bitching into consideration, and the beautiful photos of Marilyn Monroe & co. boasting red lips, what do you think about red lipstick? Is it super hot, or totally not? Vote to the right (Fashion Forecast's first poll!) and see if others agree with your opinion!
