Nah. I have soft, muted coloring and bold lips just look goofy on me. I can appreciate the look on others, though.

YES. Love it. Am not as good at it as I would like to be, but I keep trying. The "trying" part is the fun part because I love shopping for lipsticks. I find that whenever I am the slightest bit depressed, I buy a lipstick. Some of my purchases are great. Some not so much.

I even wear lipstick to the gym. I know this is not typically done, but I like it that much.

I wear a red lip that I consider more of a light blue red lip. Violet - not tomato - zero orange and zero brown. I find when I wear this type of almost fuchsia lip my eyes look better/ brighter.
I agree the skin goes a bit lighter due to the contrast. But the teeth look white. I clear lip pencil is good and also some of the Clinique Chubby sticks are pretty good - Mightiest Marachino etc... their texture is pretty light but still fairly sheer and lots of red color.

Never. As someone else said, I feel like a clown. My coloring was kind of muted, though, so I think that's why. Now that my hair is grey I wonder if I should try again.

I love copper with lots of shine on top or a blue tone red with shine on top or deep berry tones (they make my teeth look superwhite).

Playing around with oranges, fuchsias, hot bright pinks really don't work for me. I usually do a bold lip for evening or for fun summer looks.

Never for me because I've always been about the eyes. As for seeing it on other women, to my eye, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I really dislike the look on an older face with thin lips because it looks like a vampirish, blood-red slash.

I have been sporting red lips (or coral, depending on which lipstick I find first in my purse) since my braces were taken off. I'm not comfortable with painting my eyes -I don't like my eyes AND I wear contacts), so it makes sense to move the attention downwards.

Really? I would have thought you'd have the perfect mouth to pull it off.

My first job was with Eastern Air Lines and they made us all wear heavy make-up with bright red lips and nail polish. From there I branched out into "power pink" and everything in between. In the 90's I went for that pinkish brown. Now my lips are smaller and have those lines around them so they don't look so good in a dark or bright shade (too Laura Bush). I try to keep them moist but not glossy with a little sheer rose/berry tint. It's too bad because I really did enjoy wearing a bold lip.
