I'm an asian girl with relatively lighter skin.. not procelain, but is on the lighter end. I consider myself attractive. Some say I kinda look like an east european model type.
Basically I can pull off anything.except.. I love the red lip look on others, Cameron Diaz, Megan Fox... Not just caucasians and africans, some east asians, both abcs or natives back home look aewsome with red lips too. However, I hate this look on me ! I avoid using any lipstick that's darker than light pink, light orange, light brown....I even like the transparent one. Sometimes in winter my lips get dry and they turn a shade darker and I hate it !! It just makes me look "old"... Is it normal?

Is it possible that some people just arent cut out for this look? or does it have anything to do with being slightly baby faced?

    I hate lipstick. I don't need any anyway. Not for these luscious lips. They have a nice color on their own. I just gloss em up a little to keep them supple and sweet :)

    ..sorry but this post strike me was useless.
    I think it's pretty obvious that it's normal.

    It is normal. There's not a simple answer to it either. You have to find a specific shade that suits your skin tone and your skin undertones and you have to make it either cool or warm toned to compliment your own tones, and gah! it's just so much hassle! As for the baby face thing, I agree that that might have something to do with it. I have really chubby cheeks and when I wear red lipstick I just look like a child playing dress-up. I guess you just suit a different style.

    I HATE red lipstick on myself and others. I think the only person who looks kind of OK in it is Scarlett Johansson.

    The main reason I hate it so much is because, to me, it says "Look at how clasically sexy I am! I am so sexy that I am going to highlight my features in the most unflattering, unoriginal way ever!"

    What annoys me even more is that so many people I know wear red as their signature colour when they really don't suit lipstick and/or the shade they wear.
    Plus, I hate how it looks against your teeth.

    Normal. I feel like bright red lipstick makes my mouth look huge, but I like berry colours.

    Sorry, I stopped reading after "asian" and "eastern european model type". You're hot, you can do whatever you like -you'll still be hot. Enjoy your awesome life :)
