French Women Love Red Lipstick

French Secret #29
Okay, maybe not all French Women love red lipstick.
But, certainly many French Women do like to indulge in  the bright cherries, the deep clarets, and the sultry vin rouge shades of red when they want to go for a little dramatic effect.
Do you like to wear red lipstick?  Or do you go for a dramatic eyeshadow when you want to make a bold statement?  I'd love to know!

  2. I favor a red lip over shadow. I always blot it on with my finger to create more of a matte stain which makes my lips look fuller. Red lips are great for the dinner parties when you drink red wine. :)

  3. I LOVE red lips, Jamie...but my coloring is very close to Paloma Picasso's, so I have to be careful not to overdo...I really love a dramatic, smoky eye too....but not at the same time...mais non! ;)
