Hello ladies! Weekend is almost here. Are you having butterflies about the first romantic date with your dude?  In regards to romantic encounters, different shades of coloured lipsticks can send different signals. So, let’s tell you about the colours and what they say, before you head out for that first date.

From classic red to hot pink, find out what your favorite hue says about you.

You are sending out emotionally charged signals, wearing a color associated with passion, energy and action. You’re a bold, confident woman and one in her sexual prime.” ​

You want to be taken seriously, have nothing to hide and a lot to give. There’s a vulnerability and sensitivity to your approach but with the right partner, you’re willing to bare your soul and wear your heart on your sleeve.

Pink is the color of innocence, but you’ve added some heat too, signaling a mixed message of approach-avoidance. Your date may be confused as to what you want from a relationship, and maybe you’re not too sure yourself, but ultimately it must appeal to your heart, body and soul.

 Burgundy:

Your color reflects your strong, decisive character, but you may find yourself holding back on the date, unwilling to give away too much too soon. It’s a color that says you’re strong but it take a while to get to know you, so your date needs to be patient.​

You are approaching the date with enthusiasm, playfulness and the right amount of balance. You want to be noticed, know where you are going and may be in a hurry to get there. You’re willing to have fun and just see where it goes.​

 Fuchsia

 With its undertones of purple, you’ve gone for a regal hue that conveys an image of sophistication and uniqueness. This shade also suggests enlightenment and creativity, so you’re expecting some stimulating conversation, someone out of the ordinary, and your date had better deliver.

 Bare Lips

You have a no-nonsense approach, don’t want to play games or get off on the wrong foot. So by not wearing lipstick, you’re saying, ‘This is me, take me as I am, or not at all.’ You’ll be looking for openness and honesty from your date.

Here’s to an awesome first date.
