Wanting to Know you Wens : red lips!

one of my resolutions for this new year is to wear red lipstick like i used to. i believe you don't need much make-up as long as you have red lips and it works with anyone (honest!).

(ladies, Revlon's PhotoReady foundation is magical! seriously, my skin has never looked better though i promise i'm not this cullen-like; too much flash)

last week i asked everyone to show off your red pouts. thank-you to everyone who played along! it always means so much to me.


check out these red-lipped beauties:

^Jess who doesn't believe any date is complete without red lipstick

^Claudia who says she hardly wears make-up but decided to go to Target and get some to surprise her husband. I bet he loves it! *wink

 ^Marianne {my twinkie} who lives for carmex and smokey eyes donned red for me and gave me a kiss!

 ^Jess who is documenting the whole red attempt on her blog (i love it!) Tip for the smoochers: jess swears by l'oreal infallible color crimson. She says it has amazing staying power, doesn't bleed, and "I can kiss *him* as much as I want without sharing the lipstick." 

 ^Shell's red lips define her arches beautifully

 ^Erin all lipsticked up in "goldplum pearl." She has the talent to apply lipstick without ever needing a mirror. amazing! also amazing is she's in her work office and behind her is a Twilight photo of Edward Cullen. Work inspiration? indeed.

 ^Courtney who says she loves pulling a "Karen O from time to time."

 ^Kary's smile is even more beautiful with red lips.

 ^Phoenix who looks both french & like bettie page in her fabulous bangs and lips. 

^Sandra in the first lipstick she ever bought : MAC Russian Red. her words: "I felt... beautiful. :) I guess red lipstick does that, huh? ;)"
