Beauty: Red Paris Lips

This season the models at the Dior fashion show exemplified the luxury of the Paris woman and her lips.  Big cosmetic names invariably make much about lips.  They have spoken -  and the bright coral lips and retro berry lips are Parisian women’s favorites.  Daytime and running around time you'll find American and Parisian women and brides love the "Au natural" look -  pale make up and faint pink lips.   For a wedding -  brides are choosing bright colors in the beginning of the fall and winter.  They are craving berried lipsticks and clear reds -the color is a standout - it makes one's teeth and skin more white, luminescent, translucent and natural.  French women wear very little makeup and what they do wear is applied to appear as a very natural unmade up look. Too much makeup, according to French women, makes you seem older and less refined.

From what I have learned women in Paris pay more attention to the exquisiteness of their lips  - and to such a degree that  - well they spend at least 20 minutes every day drawing a perfect lip line. (but did I tell you that it lasts all day)

One French makeup artist has been quoted as saying that Parisian women will use several lipsticks at the same time, and will not leave home until she makes her lips plump and solid.

Pay special attention to red lipsticks - not all reds are equal - for a great evening out and of course for a wedding, nothing draws more attention to a beautiful face than equisite skin and an unforgettable mouth.
