Why do women wear red lipstick?

Because red is a color that makes women more sensual, energetic, sexy, and more bolder.

because one time a long time ago a lady had her period and the guys liked kissing the lips of her vagina while they were red and so the ladies made the lips of their mouth red also to make their husbands happy.

this isn't a joke. my ap psycology teacher taught this to us.

This is only partially accurate. The part about the period is not the actual reason. As we all know, when a woman is sexually aroused, her vulva enlarges and becomes reddish as a result of becoming engorged with blood - needless to say this is a very stimulating, exciting and sexy sight for her partner. When this is coupled with her viginal secretions, the effect is irresistible. This is what lipstick is all about, all the more so when her lips appear to be moist.

Because it grabs mens attention. And well lips make u think of kissing, kissing of touching, and touching of love.

Actually...I found the real reason when I was looking around online, and it's nothing to do with sex.

Stage actresses wore red lipstick because it looks good under limelight and can be easily seen at the back of the theatre. Movie actresses in the early days wore red lipstick because it worked well in black & white and in Technicolor...and because movie actresses worked on the stage too. And just like today, women modeled their makeup after their favorite actresses' looks.

These days, women wear red lipstick because their mom (who worked hard to look like her favorite actress) wore red lipstick...because they like it...and because, sometimes, it's the right color to wear. Try pulling off a bright-red sweater if you're wearing coral lipstick. Can't be done.

- That's one way of looking at it, but the actual answer is the one that explains what happens to a vulva when aroused. Your answer might explain why it became so popular with women, but long before actresses, movies and theatre women in ancient Egypt, to name one place, would use make up, including red lipstick, to improve their appearance. The reason red is so popular? Men like it the most, because it subconciously reminds them of reddened lips...and because men like it so much, women wear it to be popular with the opposite sex. Any woman that's put on a bright red lipstick and walked out of the house will certainly notice that she receives a lot more attention,.

Answer>> Red lipsticks are associated with passion, seduction, and flamboyance. Made popular by Hollywood actresses of yore like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor who flaunted their red lips with panache, red lipsticks have stayed a rage with women down the ages. Most women wear red lipstick because nothing catches attention like it. However, it makes a bold statement and you need to wear it with confidence. Also, make sure that it goes with the outfit you pick or the result can be disastrous.

I have no idea, it looks stupid, its very undesireable to men cause it looks gross, and it never made them look prettier.
