And from a fashion perspective, one of my favorite characters is Quinn Fabray. {Also Emma Pillsbury. I want to own her closet.} She has such a sweet style aesthetic, and her makeup is classic.
The neutral face with red lip has become one of my favorite looks. I've seen it in this post from clothed much {doesn't Elaine look darling in red?}, and in J. Crew's holiday catalog, among others. I like this look so much, in fact, that I've begun sporting it myself. Observe, our 2009 family picture:
What do you think? Have you ever rocked the red lip? Do you continue to wear red lipstick {and do you have a favorite brand that you'd like to share with us?}, or do you think it's just so 2009? Leave a comment!

I like your blog redesign. Very cute. I can't rock the red lip. Not brave enough.
I have never liked what I look like in lipstick, so, no, I haven't rock the red lip. Although you look fabulous in red!
I didn't notice Quinn's style much until recently because for whatever reason those Cheerio's are ALWAYS in their cheer uniforms. She does have a sweet style sensibility. I will have to watch her more closely from now on.
I adore Emma Pillsbury's closet. I WISH I owned her wardrobe... it's to die for. P.s. you have gorgeous lips so this look looks great on you. I have skinny lips so I don't think it looks so good on me.
PS- I love Emma's clothes. They are a bit prim, but the girl can rock a cardigan!
I would take every piece home and make it my very own!
Oh my gosh, you guys are adorable! I love rocking the red lip too. :) My favorite red lipstick is Lipstick Queen in Saint Red-- it's so sheer and light and it never bleeds. It's gorgeous.
Chels -- thanks for the suggestion! It sounds great! The red lipstick I have right now I think I bought for $3. It's definitely colorful, but if I don't tone it down with lots of sheer balm, then I look like I just colored on my face with a red crayon. Um, yikes.
Mary-- I know how you feel! I have a whole small makeup pouch filled with failed red lipsticks. Lipstick Queen is by far my favorite and the least crayon-y of the bunch! :)
(The redesign is adorable-- good job!)
