Ok so today I treated myself to a bright red matte retro lipstick and lip liner (ruby woo from mac). I used to work on make up counters so I've always worn make up so I'm not daft when it comes to applying it well etc. I just wanted something different.
I came home and applied it and answered the door to my mum (who is a pain in the arse at the best of times anyway but.....) who visibly recoiled in horror and said, "oh.... it's... terribly bright".
So she hated it. I think it looked fine!
Why do I care what she thinks anyway. Ho hum.
But a part of me is thinking do I look silly??
Red lips are ok aren't they? In your early 30's with minimal rest of make up (foundation, powder and mascara).
Persuade me I will be glam and not daft. I feel hurt.

convince me this is fine... my mum has made me feel like shit, which I know shouldn't matter at my age but it has pissed me off (red lipstick related)
