February came and went, I swear. I wanted to close it out with favorite reds since I did so many this month. I have to admit there was a time I was afraid of red lipstick, hell there was a time I was afraid of lipstick. There's been something illuminating about my makeup journey and not just because my mother was a makeup goddess in her own right and passed it along to my sisters and I, but because there's something so empowering in an eyeliner, in a blush, in a lipstick. Every time I put on makeup it feels like the final rose on a cake, the last brush stroke on a painting, the flourish at the end of your signature. Believe me when I say don't need makeup to feel good about myself, I looked like a mess all through college and held a steady relationship (S/O to cute and natural girls) but I do know that makeup adds that extra spice. That when my mascara is on 10, my lips are poppin, and my eyes are smoldering I'm ready to take no prisoners. Red lips are just another arrow in my quiver on the ready when it's time to attack. The Red Spread has been great and I so look forward to March, thanks to all the ladies who submitted.
