Over the forum, specifically in the makeup section, we have a thread called RED – LIPS & KISSES that goes on so fast I can’t keep up sometimes. The ladies share their enthusiasm over red lipsticks and LOTDs are almost posted daily. Let’s meet with the lady who created this buzz, angelajess!
Could you tell us when and how did this obsession started?
It all started because of photography. My boyfriend has always liked and good at taking photos, and his favorites were those black-and-white kinds. I tried hard to be a good object, and the color that actually looks great in a black-and-white profile photos is red.
Back then, my hair was also a really light yellow brown, paired with red lips it was awesome, even in colored photos. I fell in love and I have that slight OCD-ness inside me so everything I like naturally turns into obsessions, just like that – I don’t like things … I LOVE things.
Some of her precious collection.
Why red, of all colors?
Red is a color of statement, it is strong, it stands out, it has a lot of meaning. I like that fact on its own. No other color radiates the same level of confidence, beauty and strength (er.. pink, strong? No.).
Besides, I live by the Pareto 80-20 rule. In this case, 80% of your beauty impact is actually originated from 20% of your face portion, that is, your red lips.
