Christina Says Lipstick Makes Her Feel Good.
Christina recently performed in Germany with tons of lipstick on. I guess everyone already knows she always has gobs of red lipstick on. In a January issue of Glamour Mag she explained her obsession with lipstick. She was asked by the magazine if she feels exposed without it.
She replied.
“Yeah - there’s a witch under this hair [she says laughing]. Would I feel exposed? Yes, in a certain way. The red lips are - I don’t want to call them “armor,” but they’re the clothes of my character, and I’m in the business of entertainment….I don’t see makeup as a defense. I see it as a creative outlet. I am a woman who has my extreme vulnerable side and my baggage - and at times I feel extremely weak. And who’s to say a little mascara doesn’t make you feel more confident when you pop it on and look in the mirror? It helps, especially in my position, where I have people waiting down the street to take pictures of me so they can evaluate and criticize every little flaw on my face. I suppose that’s where the armor would come into the picture.”
