Guys, is it true that red lipstick on a woman is attractive?

[little_bird1]

I read somewhere that red lipstick on a woman arouses men. I rarely wear red lipstick but for the fun of it I tried wearing at work yesterday and a lot of guys stared at me. Many people told me "you look great today" and one coworker was blatantly starring at my lips while we were talking.
P. S. It's a REALLY good red lipstick, like very, very red. I spent fortune on it, lol.

[passinby]

I have noticed that any artificial attractant works only a couple times. It is true by studies that red lips signal for sexual arousal but when simulated it really functions on shock effect and will dissipate as it is worn repetitively. No woman’s lips are as red as red lipstick no matter how fertile or aroused she is so the effect on a male/(maybe female) is over stimulation similar to drinking too much. If you keep drinking too much habitually, eventually the effects are null by exhausted chemistry. So, you spent a lot of money on it and I believe it works but it is fleeting on the same group (test subjects). It is best applied in new outings.

I love red lipstick on girls definitely my favourite in that sense, and there are many shades of red. Red is great colour as a whole. Research shows girls get most attention when wearing red so it should not be surprising red lipstick is more arousing. What colour are lips? :)

[little_bird1]

Yeah that's exactly what I read! :D

[ragequeen]

Red lipstick with few other products can look really good. I don't like when girls cake their face with fake brows, contour and lots of eyeshadow and top it off with red lipstick.

[little_bird1]

That red lipstick on your profile picture looks really beautiful :)

[ragequeen]

Thank you!

[CherryRoseChampange]

I think it depends on a person face. I'm personally bit a fan of red lipstick on everyone.

[FakeName123]

Yes, it is. In nature red often times means fertile. For plants (look at fruit-colours, blossoms, etc.) as well as for animals. Additional for mankind it also means arousal.

This psychological reaction of men also has been researched a while ago. Essentially women who use red lipstuck (and red brush on their cheeks) say "I am fertily and willing to do something about it".

See his talk about the matter: (about 1:30 he goes specifically into it)

[EmbraceThePain]

Yes, red specifically. I heard that there’s a biological basis for the color red specifically because red indicates blushing of the face and cheeks during arousal and also signals how ripe a fruit is. So, taking this information into account it makes sense that the color red in lipstick touches so primal/evolutionary emotion within men when it comes to attraction and arousal.

[rutgerhauer]

I learnt somewhere, can't remember where, that there is subliminal psychology at play when women wear lipstick. Apparently men can't help feeling aroused when they see an opening surrounded by lips... and if those lips are painted it makes the arousal even more acute. That might explain why your co-worker was so transfixed.

[Anonymous]

It is totally opposite. I hate lipsticks that completely change the colour of her lips

What makes red lipstick sexy?
We find it sexy bcoz it leaves marks on our body.

Red lipstick is sexy because it boosts our confidence about our sexual excitation.
Because when we are sexually excited, we won't care about anything that is applied on the woman's lips, we will simply eat (swallow) it along with her lips.

Red lipstick makes us feel confident about our desires and sexual excitation

That's why it is sexy.

Red lipstick does not look attractive

I repeat, red lipstick does not look attractive

It looks like clown.

[lightbulb27]

yes, draws the eye there... and you have full lips, so that makes more to draw eye. I'd wonder if the color is cultural, or across the spectrum of humanity. Red is very visible, a warm color... e. g. stimulates, inviting.
There are good and bad shades..., I think they say different things. agree?

[MusicMayhem]

They took more notice of it cause you never wear it.

I think it depends on the situation. If you're going out or on a date, great. If you're just going shopping it's a bit much. Red lipstick is a bit suggestive, it's showy so it needs to be worn at the right times.

[unlovedguy]

I don't know about lipsticks but it's a proven fact that red is the colour of attractiveness.

www.psychologytoday.com/.../red-alert-science-discovers-the-color-sexual-attraction

[StephenCF]

Red is the colour of love. Dunno about arousing me, but I definitely find it a nice touch on elegant women, more so than not wearing lipstick at all. Some guys hate this, but I love the idea of a girl kissing my cheek (or anywhere) & getting lipstick on it; it’s a nice reminder of that sexy moment when I see my reflection, or just makes me look like a legend to everyone else who notices it on me 😜

[Cask23]

Yes. There is a deeper meaning of red lipstick identify by social scientists.

A lot of makeup is intended to subconsciously reference sexual signals. For example, blush is intended to represent the facial flushing of a female after orgasm.

Red lipstick is intended to subconsciously remind men of a women's sexually aroused liabia.

[Robjo1]

Yes, Red Lipstick is very attractive & I find it sexy! A womans lips are very sensual and the red lipstick accentuates them making them look very kissable!

[englisc]

When a woman is ovulating her lips naturally turn more red, that's the biological reason for red lipstick being a turn on for men. It's what it's designed to mimmick.

[dlawone]

There are different shades of red, I like a more subtle red so it doesn't look too much. Lip gloss send to be more commonly used today, and I think it looks amazing

[GingerGuy]

Not to me. It's the one color actually I think women shouldn't wear (compared to others). But that's me. I think a lot of guys do like it. I just don't see it, whatever it is that does it for them.

[markscott]

red lipstick is attractive, even a little suggestive. But red lipstick also can be easily over done, and not look very attractive.

[Grond21]

Of course it's attractive. When a woman is aroused more blood flows into her face and lips, and so they turn more red. Also red lips is a sign of youth. So we are biologically wired to recognize it and be attracted to it.

[-Aeon-]

I do appreciate a strong, red lipstick. It suits almost all women, but it suits women with fair skin and dark hair particularly well.

[Goodwifie]

I’ve got a few shades of red lippy in my makeup drawer that I use from time to time but I haven’t noticed being looked at any different.

[smg99]

Talking about Rouge Louboutin satin? Guerlain or YSL? Dior is ok but louboutin is the absolute statement in glossy satin red.

[ValeriusDover]

I prefer the authentic look myself. Real people > plastic dolls. That being said, if it isn't too distracting or obviously fake it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

[DDpsy]

It kind of depends on the skin tone. It looks really good on pale skin women. For darker/tan skin, not so much. If that is you in your pic than it would probably look really nice.

[ManOnFire]

Very. I also have a thing for black lipstick too though.

[Anonymous]

Not a fan personally.

It's attention grabbing, but in a bad way for me.

Even if I don't really like your makeup I might still say you look nice because obviously you're trying so that's probably what you want to hear.

[carmiboi]

It doesn't look good on every woman. I prefer that gloss stuff more on women though as it gives of a natural look.

[kazzcrow]

Meh for me I personally say no plus it just reminds me of blood so yeah definitely nope

[jazal]

Yes, its generally true, but do consider the time and occasion, that red colour does become quite noticable.

[Matt57]

I love women from the 1930s-60s, and a lot of red lipstick was used then, so I have always liked red lipstick. To me, it's the best color.

[Dark93]

I think it's mainly the color red, it is often related to symbols of love, lust and Valentine's day which causes some level of attractiveness just because of the symbolism.

[interested70]

It depends on the woman wearing it. It looks great on some women and not so much on others. But they may have been looking for awhile now. But you noticed it more since you saw that article.

[hellacray]

I personally like light pink lipstick.

It's subtle and it looks good.

[allleycat]

Lips are for me a huge focal point when a woman is talkIng I tend to look into her eyes then start looking nose lips chin neck even. Red lips stick emphasis the lips in such a way I fantasize about recieving oral sex.

[Babygirl_S]

Red lipstick looks so classy and sexy. I feel so much prettier when I wear it lol.

[Aphrodite8789]

To some yes to some nope why is that so hard to understand?

[TacosRAwesome]

It is on some but I feel like a cheap hooker when I use it.

[Lloyd1985]

It does get me aroused when I see a woman with red lipstick. It's like sleeping to full attention when I see a woman in red lipstick.

[everydayimshovellin]

Depends on the girl. But generally no not for me it tends to look tacky

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I read that too.
Personally, it's my favorite color

Greetings my Slavic sister

[Sweatyotterr]

Not sure about attractive but I definitely notice when a girl is wearing some

[JesseP1nk]

This

[SovietBall]

Yes, I'd be relishing in the thought of kissing you rather than listen to you when you wear red lipstick ans talk to me

[Dionigi]

It's very arousing.
A friend of mine puts it on each time we go out. It's such a difficult temptation to resist.

[DashboardLight]

Not a fan of lipstick in general. I guess it's a "love it, or hate it" kind of thing.

[SirJohn42]

Its sexy for sure but not all women can pull it off.

[LordFondantFancy1th]

Yes it's very sexy but it's annoying to try and get off when she kisses me

[Sixgun77]

My least favorite look. I like natural, black, or the bright shiny pink stuff from the 80s.

[funguy690]

It turns me on! The lipstick makes me focus on them and imagine my lips finding out how sweet they taste! Yum!

[alwayswondering814]

I'm a man and sometimes just a little difference makes huge difference

[bigslab]

I couldn't care less what a woman has on their lips

[hereJohnny]

Black lipstick is more attractive than red
But it depends on clothes and the girl herself

[matty6500]

I wouldn't say it's more or less attractive, but it can bring more attention.

[Mr_Mystery]

They all work for that lipstic company. Its all setup to fool you.

[blizzy102]

Yes, in my opinion. I loooove red lipstick on girls; it adds this whole sensual layer to your relationship (or, perhaps, lack thereof.)

[luke1099]

Personally hate lipstick the most out of all forms of makeup

[aquadescorpio]

Its depends how you carry it , but red is color of life and its brings life on once lips.

[Big_Mike02]

I don't care, if you can pull it off good for you but if you can't no biggie

[JacobBath2587]

Science has proved that red is the most attractive colour

[bossplaya69]

Little _ bird you look like a sexy girl from a movie

[Slim57]

Yeah but it's kinda annoying to get all over you lol

[Jobage123]

Nice looking but messy especially clothes and collars if she kiss neck

[Ankitasingh466]

Yes it is. It looks shiny. But I like pink.

[Secret6620]

It's very sexy if done right
