You Are Entering A Makeup Fascism Free Zone.

Do you ever feel a bit brow beaten by the dictum often put forth by many of my fellow pundits of beauty, stating that a red lip must always be accompanied by a nude eye? I do. I must confess. The funny thing about it is, as I do know a bit about beauty and only adhere to a few of the conventions of the day, I am starting to feel this catch cry is getting a bit fanatical. The purpose of this post is really just to say, “Whoa, Nelly!” Save that right-wing business for your eyeliner.

You can wear a signature red lip with a dark eye. Feel free to smoke up your lids, like it’s nobody’s business. Heck, even add a bit of ultra finely milled glitter to those lovely lids if the feeling strikes. Go for it! The only two things you might like to be cognizant of (and only if you feel like it) is, if you’re going to rock a bold red lip, ensure that your makeup application is immaculate and well blended…everywhere. That really is the key to wearing what you want, how you want. Wearing makeup is all about making the most of your beauty and feeling fabulous!

If it makes you feel good, wear it. It’s as simple as that.
