Black Folks Can't Wear Pink??

Good morning Ladies!

Okay ladies, who would have ever thought that lipstick could come down to a black and white issue? Well apparently it can because this morning it did with me. So this post comes from a debate me and a few co-workers were having this morning on whether black people could or couldn't wear pink lipstick....I wear makeup to work practically every morning with the exception of foundation. I only wear foundation when I am going out or something. But I do wear lipstick, eyeshadow/liners, mascara, lashes, blush, etc to work all the time! 

Well, this morning was no exception! I wore some nude, gold, and brown eyeshadows, eyeliner, with a pink blush, and a pink lipstick by Wet n' Wild called Vivacious. One of my co-workers "Nita," who is a dark skinned black woman, always says that 'black folks can't wear no pink lipstick, that don't look good on you!" Yesterday it was  "Here you go with that white folks mess!" Mind you, she does wear ANY makeup at all and probably couldn't apply it right to save her soul lol! So I told her that I think that black people CAN wear pink lipstick and light shades of lipstick, it just depends on your skin complexion as to what will compliment you the best. The color that I am wearing is a very light pink, and it's true that everybody might not look good in this shade of pink, BUT this color isn't just for "white folks" as she says.

We went back and forth on whether or not black people should wear pink lipstick or not, as "Kris" sat there and laughed at us both. I asked Nita "well what color lipsticks do you think black folks should wear since you think we can't wear pink?" No answer...Just like I thought she couldn't give me an answer. I said, "do you think we should only wear Plum shades or darker colors?" And she said that yes she does think that we only should wear dark shades. Kris, who is very light skinned as am I, doesn't wear makeup either, but she does think that she wants to try to wear some pink lipsticks just to try it out and see how she looks. Kris said that she doesn't think that she could wear the color pink I had on because she doesn't feel bold enough to try pull it off, but that she thought it looked good on me. We asked 3 other co-workers including the Lobby Receptionist (older white lady), Housekeeping(black woman), and an insurance clerk(bi-racial) about whether my lipstick looked good on me or not and they all said the same thing....THAT IT LOOKS GOOD ON ME! And the white lady "Grace" went into further details saying that she goes into MAC all the time to buy makeup and sees primarily black women shopping there and she thinks that they always look beautiful to her. Also, that she does not see certain makeup as for black or white people, but by what works for YOU! And that was my whole point to Nita. LikeI told them, i'm gonna wear my pink lipsticks whether folks think black people should where it or not! It's about what works for you and not about you can't wear this or that because your black or because your white! Below are pics of me in different light shade lipsticks that I wear....
