Red lipstick: Top 5
The first time I wore red lipstick was 2010. I was never interested in makeup let alone lipstick. Especially since the elders frowned upon it in my household.
That way of life stuck with me into adulthood. I purchased my first Revlon shade after listening to the song Red Lipstick by Trey Songz. When that song dropped I was in the middle of a major life shift. I was fresh out of a 10 + year relationship breakup with my high school sweetheart and life had been whooping my ass. I was depleted, defeated, and my self-confidence was at an all time low.
I wore that red lip as a way to boost my confidence and honestly I used it sort of like a mask. I needed something new and this was my way of feeling like I was making a change toward that. Unbeknownst to me I was also on the brink of entering my spiritual journey. Over the years I began to love wearing red lip and it became a signature look for me since I still hadn’t taken any interest in exploring makeup further.
In the last few years I’ve worn it for fun and to enhance my personal style. Wearing my red lip has this way of making me feel sexy and beautiful all at the same time. On special occasions I rock it, otherwise these days you’ll catch me with my lip gloss chillin.
