The campaign is designed to promote spirituality, mystery and fire as part of every woman's
unique allure. These qualities have been captured in the perfect red. When a woman discovers
herself. When I first started to wear red lipstick, seriously, I did have this obsession.
I think a lot of women do have this obsession to find absolutely an utterly quintessential
red. Cosmetics lady once told me that I should wear red and that's stuck in my mind.
Because I don't think there's any two reds ever exactly the same. Mondrian decided that
there was an essential red and spent a great deal of time selecting it. I think it was
sort of like a pillow box red. I like a red to be a very red red. We were looking for something
significant. Not just beauty but grace, calm, strength. They said it didn't exist but we
kept looking. She's perfect. Have you found the perfect red? How does wearing red lipstick
make you feel? Fully dressed. It's that thing of having a mask on. Sexually excited. Powerful
escape. A bit more imposition of myself. It's not actually about power but just to have
a sense of place. I think in order to wear red lipstick you've got to be quite confident.
I was around the time and I put on a lot of weight and I stopped wearing red lipstick
because I felt like I didn't want to be seen. Red is a really strident colour. It's a very
passionate colour because it's compelling the viewer into a kind of state of agitation
of seeing. I copied my sportsmiss just when I was at school and she wore this particular
red lipstick which I searched for when I was old enough and got the opportunity. I knew
exactly headed in my mind's eye what colour I wanted. I don't know it's sort of symbolic
of beauty like Marilyn Monroe or somebody like that. It's sort of a part of our play.
How did men respond to you in red lipstick? It anticipated her. It lightweighted him.
It still respected her. It's calm, enticed her to enjoy the pleasure she had denied.
Just let go of us here. Discover yourself. Have you found the perfect red?
Obviously I'm aware of the way I look but it's not so much to do with men. My father
didn't approve of my mother wearing lipstick. Well he might not say anything but I know
he prefers me to have my lipstick on. And one of them is wearing a very good red then
the man will spend more time looking at that woman. Men quite enjoy women in red lipstick.
I think women think that men like lipstick more than men actually do like lipstick.
They like the look of it but they're afraid to touch it. They're afraid to see the people
you've marked. He actually made a comment this morning. You're going to have an
interview with that lipstick on? How am I going to put my sexual eye on my lips for you?
Sexy doesn't mean one's available. One can look sexy but not be available to anyone.
And I started like having sex and wearing lipstick. It was about the consciousness of
my self, of my body and what effects it could have in the world. I could have sex
and wear lipstick. I was an extremely grown up. What do you associate with the image
of red lipstick? It reminds me of anger. Sort of early 30s it was the film actresses
that one looked at. Of course it was in black and white. Related to sex, to a siren.
Dern Crawford obviously had a huge mouth. People like Madonna who wears red very,
very well. I suppose that wearing a red lipstick also kind of identifies me as a
femme don in the lesbian scene. Diana Ross. To be quite honest I was a bit confused about
the eating part of the whole thing because of the whole kind of commodification of women
eating things in the media and how that operates. What properties do you look for?
Depths of colour. Extremely cheap.
Expensiveness. Its size and its weight and things like that. It doesn't blade and feather.
Lipstick has to feel good. Wouldn't come all from cups. They taste nice.
She told me she had to get away. Whatever she found, it worked. I can do anything she said.
Red red. Parallel red. Really red. Satin red. Soft red. Sun red. Indian red. Cassis.
Rose antiques. Rochka beast. Rooch the atrial. Traitorial. Spicy red. Red waves.
That's the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
