Why Men Love Red Lips

I popped into my local barbershop wearing my signature Ruby Woo lipstick and the compliments were coming through thick and fast, I was slightly taken back, when even strangers on the street were giving me a cheeky wink. So what is it about red lips that send men in a frenzy. The sense of alluring seduction heat, passion and desire, brought on by icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Having a signature red lipstick instantly gives you a Hollywood smile. Every woman should have a signature shade of red lipstick; it’s the Cinderella item of your makeup bag.

Ruby Woo- Ruby Woo by MAC is great for darker skin tones with a matt everlasting finish that looks great for the office as well as a night out. Recently endorsed by none other than Rihanna, so why not get your RiRi on.
