Guest Post: Just wear it.

Welcome to another “But Black Women Can’t…” post. The pur­pose of this series to dis­pel the many myths and stereo­types that have haunted Black women for cen­turies. Colors we can’t wear, prod­ucts we shouldn’t touch…. it’s get­ting old. It’s time we start reclaim­ing our iden­ti­ties and defin­ing our own beauty. Who’s with me?!!

I can’t believe I haven’t done this one yet! If there is one lip­stick color that I think many Black women hide away from.…it is red. So many of us fear wear­ing it because we think it will make us look crazy. Chances are you prob­a­bly saw some­one who didn’t wear it well and it scared you off. Am I right or am I right?

Well un-scare thy­self because red lip­sticks are beau­ti­ful on brown skin.

“My lips are too big.”

“Red is too.…red.”

“It’s too bright.”

You’ve said it or heard it, haven’t you? What’s the mat­ter with you? You CAN rock red lips. A lit­tle bit of con­fi­dence goes a long way.

My girl Shavonda and I both hap­pened to try Maybelline’s ColorSensational Very Cherry. Check us out!

Go Shavonda!

Go B!

Go You!

.….and don’t let me catch you in the streets talkin’ about how Black women shouldn’t wear red lips. Girl please! Somebody dun told you wrong.
