What Your Favourite Lipstick Says About You

It's a common saying in today's society that red is a woman's signature lip colour. Just when we thought we were all being bold and unique, another girl comes up with that same line to counter our feeling of individuality. With so many colours on the lip spectrum to choose from, it may actually be considered conventional to select red as your signature. Gone are the days where this look made a statement. Today, everyone is inspired to try it and attempt to own it. If this is the case for you and you're feeling a bit dejected, that's okay. Red has a lot of amazing things to say about your personality. Based on my addiction to experimenting with lipstick colours, I've decided to provide you with a personality analysis based on your best lipstick. Are you ready?

NUDE

You're a more subtle girl who loves keeping her look as natural as possible. You're sweet, good natured and incredibly approachable. Though you are a closet seductress, you prefer more subtle ways of exhibiting intrigue such as eye contact. Your wardrobe consists of more muted tones such as beige, white, and black because you strongly adhere to the saying that less is more.

RED

You like to pack a punch, but you're a true classicist at heart. You're known to be a bit of a feminist and for being incredibly knowledgeable in a wide range of subjects. Your sex appeal is immediate and every time you enter a room, people can sense that about you. You're aware of the power of a red lip and use it to your advantage to ensure that nobody messes with you even though they're all dying to approach you. Your wardrobe consists mostly of black, but every once in a while, you like to add a splash of colour to match your mood.

FUCHSIA

You're incredibly feminine and have a playful attitude that people adore. You live for fashion, your active social life, and witty banter. A pink lip is your way of saying that you're a tough girl, but you're still girly, silly, and fun. Your wardrobe consists of an array of bright colours because you love to play around with fashion and make a style statement no matter where you go.

ORANGE

Known to be the wildest girl in your group of friends, you enjoy a great party with a huge crowd that you can work. You love making new friends and starting conversations about passionate interests and philosophical ideas. Your orange lip is a symbol of self-expression and invites a lot of attention, which you love. Your wardrobe is filled with LWDs, but occasionally you'll mix it up with some nude. If you're going to add colour, it will always be part of your beauty look. When it comes to clothes, you're a neutral girl and proud.

PURPLE

You're mysterious and edgy, but you still aren't afraid to be bold. Though you consider yourself to be more individualistic, you have a tight knit group of friends whom you hold close. You're very loyal and committed to the people in your life and don't put up with fake friendships. Purple is your way of making a statement while ensuring that nobody rubs you the wrong way. Your wardrobe consists of many dark colours like black, burgundy, and brown. Your favourite look? A classic LBD and some patterned tights.

Pharrellyn Monroe

Once upon a time, Marilyn Monroe wore red lipstick and everyone thought it was revolutionary. Subsequently, the red lip became her signature and everyone who followed was merely imitating the Marilyn look. Today, we've got Pharrell Williams and his infamous (or famous) Vivienne Westwood hat that happens to be more popular than the Kardashians. After wearing this hat at the Grammys, the jokes flooded onto social media as some criticized his taste in fashion and others admired it. At that moment, the questions began.

Was this just a joke?
Was he hiding something in there?
Has he gone country?
Is he just looking for attention?

The second that hat hit the red carpet, it got its own Twitter account which is clearly a sign of the times. If a hat is getting more followers than I am, I should probably rethink my entire reason for existence. Insert existential crisis here.

As soon as he decided to wear the hat in his new music video ironically entitled Marilyn Monroe, the hat became his signature, and without it, we can hardly recognize him. A new set of questions now permeate our minds.

Who is Pharrell without his hat?
Is the hat permanently attached to his head?
How many hats does this man own of the cowboy variety?
Is this just his way of compensating for the "Blurred Lines" fiasco according to la feminist?
Will it eventually get old?

None of these questions can be answered and that's all part of the fun. We can endlessly obsess over this fashion statement for a reason nobody can possibly comprehend as it becomes Pharrell's wingman and partner in crime. Would we still love Pharrell this much without the hat? Well, let's just say it was a smart career moves along the lines of Miley's haircut and new bad girl image. Everyone loves a controversial fashion statement. And let's face it, if I'm writing an entire blog post about it, it must be worth talking about. Right?

Good Night Lovelies,
