My new red lips. Not too orange, not too blue. Just right! In case you're curious, I went shopping for warpaint last night (aka "stage makeup" aka "my derby face").
As it's been years since I've actually worn red lipstick, I've remembered that it's darn near impossible to put on properly straight from the tube (need a brush or start off with lip liner). That won't matter much for derby, though: one hit and it'll be smeared all over the place and I'll look like an escapee from the asylum =D

the serious face makes it look even better, IMO ;)

What, you've never heard it called warpaint Earl? Maybe it's just me, but that's always how I've thought of makeup (especially when going on job interviews!).

I think the Marines recently adopted that shade for the Afghanistan campaign.

Okay I am Navy and the comment about the marines wearing Tina's shade of red made me spit water on my monitor. THAT WAS FUNNY!

*sagenod* Warpaint is either camouflage or distraction: depending on the circumstances this color should serve either purpose well in battle.

War paint on the derby floor, you got to be tough!

You look great! Like you are on a special SWAT team - And I volunteer to be 'SWAT-ted' first! :-)

Sorry Morgan, I'm pretty sure Dave gets first swatting privileges.

Cheryl, that's Revelon Matte "In The Red" (color 007, which makes me chuckle). If I put it on lightly it's a bit too pink, but another coat brings it back to brick red. Same thing when it starts to wear off... Feels great for a matte, and no sunscreen so I'm not allergic to it.

Does anyone remember the Cathy comic when red lipstick was popular in the 90s? She felt like a giant pair of red lips walking around all day? That's how I feel when this floats back up my feed!
