Red Lipstick Perfection Is NOT Impossible! DREAM BIG, People!

It's Valentine's Day (duh), and your feelings about that probably range from YAY, CHEAP CHOCOLATE to mild indifference to inconsolable sobs. I'm not even that bitter of a person, and I can admit that Valentine's Day is kind of garbage. With the exception of vintage Valentines. Those are adorable.

But Valentine's Day is a good time to pause and remember that EVERY SINGLE DAY is an EXCELLENT excuse to wear red lipstick.

Check out my piece on how to wear red lipstick at StyleUnited (I'm guest editor of their Facebook page this week, so go there, do that), and please, whatever you do, get yourself Topshop's Rio Rio red lipstick. (I reviewed Topshop's makeup for Naag.com, BTW.) It's the best red lipstick ever, and it's a REMARKABLE feat of beauty. 

$16, Topshop

... Funny you should ask. Because I recently started writing for Procter & Gamble's brand-new fashion and beauty site called StyleUnited. As someone who owns enough lipstick to fill up a small Cessna, I'd like to think I know a couple things about finding the right shade of red.

Check out my Styleunited piece on how to wear red lipstick -- anyone can do it, and I mean that. Even guys if you really want to -- and I hope you find more fashion and beauty trends, tips and tricks on StyleUnited.
