I think a red lip can go with outfits that are not "too put together" too (avoiding as Merriam said to attract attention to the small imperfect details) when it's just applied thinly, blotted and smudged a bit with a finger without crisp edges. This way the whole look has an effortless and cool vibe imho and I really like it.
Choosing the correct shade of red to your seasonal colour is definitely important too
I have mentioned before under your red lip video, i would never feel good in bright red. However, my daughter who 99% of the time never wears any makeup. When it's a special occasion and she has red lipstick she looks amazing. She does have larger round eyes, with a small shape, but full lips. Though my lips are naturally red, i still don't feel good in a bright red lip.
If you feel like a classic red lip doesn’t look good on you, maybe try a blurred version of a red lip. Instead of the harsh lip line, the blurred lip line looks much more natural
My mom was all french and she looked perfectly natural everyday with it , I'm pretty sure she would have looked off in pink or any other color. I've tried to do it but that bright red that she wore doesn't look good on me. I have to soften it down , mute it I guess.😊
I think a red lip looks really nice on a much older woman. Under 45? Not so much.
The disharmony theory makes a lot of sense to me, it's the reason I buy dresses yet most of the time never wear them. I feel like if I wear a dress, the standard for my hair and makeup needs to be higher. A lot of people don't get it when I say this though, but I feel like it's the same principle as what you're talking about.
I couldn't agree more! If the red lip creates disharmony in your look then maybe you should go for something else. Maybe having it smudged or not as sharp and vibrant would be nice, i find that making it look effortless and not too visible is the best option!
Completely agree. Color seasons aside- red is a lip color that shows any imperfections in application. One needs to take the time to apply it flawlessly
I think everyone can wear a red lip, but not necessarily a fire engine red, super saturated, crisply defined, very matte red. There is so much variety when it comes to tone, opacity, and finish of a red lip. I do believe that there is something out there for everyone!
Merriam, I just want to say that your hair looks AMAZING. It's the PERFECT length, and the bottom-heavy curls is the cherry on top.
I agree with you. So glad you’re talking about this. I follow a French CZcamsr who says there’s a red lip colour that looks good on everyone. I know I could wear a blue based red but I would feel uncomfortable. I’d feel a bit tarty I think. It’s just not me and I don’t think it suits everyone. I have very soft, rounded features and it’s just a bit too much for me, I think anyway.
For me, red lipstick is a mood booster. When the world around me is of certain colors - around November - when a certain shade of red lipstick makes me happy. And now I’m wondering if she emphasizes my imperfections. I’m glad that in Sweden the preferred aesthetics give a lot of space for naturalness and imperfections)
I was dying for a photo example Merriam! PS Love what you are saying tho

Yep, your video resonates... the red is so defined and precise, it requires a similar level of attention and definition on the rest of the appearance... totally agree, Merriam !
That makes perfect sense! ❤ great video! 🫶
I’ve never thought about it that way. I’ll watch your red lip video. Thank you!
You have a brilliant mind!! Excellent video!!❤❤❤
Thank you for your tip.❤
