I have the most fabulous bright red lipstick and it really suits me - makes me feel great too. But, I'm having a bit of a crisis of confidence. Is it twatish to wonder about in the day wearing it? Y' know, supermarket, school run, bins out

I do, most days. Life too short to worry about what other think of your lipstick choices.

MrsLettuce · 24/08/2012 14:21

Well said Plum Wink

"it really suits me - makes me feel great too"

^^ that is all the reason you need to wear it. No-one is going to walk up to you in the street, however "shocking" your lipstick colour is, and tell you they don't like it, so wear away.

I use just a random red liner from collection 2000 or something :)

ThisTooShallPass · 26/08/2012 13:18

You're all right, I know you are, but I lack in the confidence stakes so still I doubt Hmm

I hand the decision over to you lovely lot - brutal honesty please - for a brief time only a photo on my profile...

I don't feel dressed without my red lipstick on, I even tend to put some on if I'm hungover staying home unwell Grin
I've had the odd comment from the very odd dickhead along the lines of 'D'ya fink you're on a red carpet or sumfink' while out and about during the day, but honestly couldn't give less of a toss Grin

ThisTooShallPass · 26/08/2012 13:25

Yeah, but I've got glasses, a fringe a facial mole and am under confident. Worried there might just be too much going on on my face IYSWIM. I just want to know if I look like a fool...

Comments I could handle, I think, but people look at me. I'm not sure. Hence the photo, I know I can trust you lot to be brutally honest Grin

It looks fab on you. You can wear it everyday - it really suits you.

perceptionreality · 26/08/2012 13:32

I agree it looks fab on you. Wear it :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/08/2012 13:32

It looks fine - and I like your kitchen!

colditz · 26/08/2012 13:36

Yes definitely. I love red lipstick.

colditz · 26/08/2012 13:38

I like it on you, and the beauty spot only adds to the image or fifties glam.

ThisTooShallPass · 26/08/2012 14:10

Oh heck, hadn't expect that Blush

Thank you! I shall probably go glam!

Great look!
Sure I have a red lipstick somewhere...

ThisTooShallPass · 26/08/2012 15:21

You lot are great!

DP is now saying that me pin-up-red nails are potentially slutty. I told him to fuck the fuck off and have wank...

Is your DP Amish???? Or just a twunt??

I missed your pic.....post again?? Grin

DonaAna · 26/08/2012 16:14

It is not too much, helps to define your features. 2nd pair of glasses better, they give your face more definition.

BunnyLebowski · 26/08/2012 16:17

You look fantastic Grin Love the glasses!

50's glam definitely suits you. Keep it!

StellaAndFries · 26/08/2012 17:07

I think you look lovely :)

ThisTooShallPass · 26/08/2012 17:39

Cheers all. I feel most flattered.
