Classic or Trendy?


Much like the great debate over whether preppy is "back" - I keep reading that red lipstick is the new trend. Did I miss the memo? Red lipstick, while not everyone's taste, is a classic much like a little black dress and pearls. It's annoying to keep seeing that some things that have never been "out" are back "in." The above is the new "it" lipstick - Red Lizard by Nars. I usually only wear Chanel lipsticks but I use quite a bit of Nars Cosmetics so I think I am going to try this one out. I also read that MAC sells more tubes of Russian Red than any other color lipsticks.

Love the red lips - I have two faves in my drawer - both are Clinique - Hot Date & Cranberry Cocktail. I love the red lip for evening :) it never goes "out" (in my opinion of course!)

Classic. Did you see the article in the new Blueprint mag about make up at the fashion shows? one was pale face with brilliant red lippie.

Definitely. Red lipstick = classic
I think I still have my Chanel "Red Red". I wonder if they still make that color. IMO it's the perfect red lipstick. "Tempting Red" was my other favorite red lipstick from Chanel. It was a red that was very wearable for every day.

I think red lips are always sexy.

I love red lips. They have never been out, so I guess that they can't be in.

I agree, red lipstick is a classic.
