What your lipstick colour says about your personality
By Rita Chioma,
Beauty experts and psychologist are of the school of thought that a woman’s choice of lipstick color is not for style purposes only but also a representation of certain traits and characteristics she possesses.
A woman’s lipstick says so much about her personality than most people will care to admit but the choices one makes both consciously and subconsciously reveal so much.
If you have issues with the way you’re perceived in a certain community or the types of men you see, change your lipstick colour.
So what does your lipstick say about you?
Red

If you’re a fan of red lipstick then you love to bask in the attention, passionate and you are not bothered when others get to know the sensual side of you.
Choosing red lipstick as a shy person can embolden you to become a powerful woman.
