Red Lipstick Debate: Do you need one to look beautiful?

If you walked into a MAC cosmetics store and asked for a red lipstick, the sales associate would probably ask you what type of occasion you were wearing it for. A first date? An anniversary dinner? Or maybe you just feel like treating yourself? No matter the answer, she would then proceed to find the perfect red lipstick for you.

Nowadays, it seems like everyone is on the hunt for that one particular shade of red. Whether it’s made by MAC, Becca, or Channel, there’s always a new red lipstick that beauty junkies are dying to get their hands on. But do you really need a red lipstick to look beautiful?

There are different types of beauty. There’s the kind that stops people in their tracks because they can’t believe what they’re seeing. And then there’s the kind that slowly grows on you until you can’t imagine your life without it.

I would argue that the latter is more important. It’s the kind of beauty that is unique to each individual. Everyone has their own definition of what is beautiful and what isn’t. So why does it seem like we’re all searching for the same thing?

Maybe it’s because we live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with images of airbrushed models and Instagram influencers. We see these unrealistic standards of beauty and we start to believe that we need to look a certain way in order to be considered attractive.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need a specific type of makeup or wardrobe to be beautiful. You don’t even need a red lipstick. Beauty is something that comes from within. It’s confident, it’s genuine, and it shines through no matter what you’re wearing or how you do your makeup.

So next time you find yourself coveting someone else’s perfect red lipstick, remind yourself that you are just as beautiful—if not more so—without it. True beauty doesn't come from outside sources; it comes from within. Be confident, be genuine, and let your inner light shine through!
