In a recent study by Manchester University, men are most drawn to a woman's lips over any other facial features. Dr Geoff Beattie, who led the research said "The research suggests that red lips and perceived attractiveness are still inextricably linked, with red lipstick proving to be the most powerful attractor and significantly increasing visual fixation."
Manchester University carried out the research by tracking the eye moments of 50 men as they were presented with images of different women. The research concluded that if women wore lipstick, the men gazed at their lips for an average of seven seconds. Research further showed, he would spend just 0.95 seconds looking at their eyes and 0.85 seconds studying their hair. Men spend 6.7 seconds of the first ten staring at women with pink lipstick, while red lips attracted 7.3 seconds of the first ten, the study found.
For all the natural beauties - when women wore no makeup, the male attention was spread more evenly among all the facial features.
My current favorite lipstick is Korres Wine Red. Second favorite is Burt's Bees Fig. What's yours?

I never wear the stuff. Once a year or so, I resolve to wear makeup on a regular basis. And I usually make it two days, at most.
My very southern mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law took a long time to reconcile themselves to my au natural look.
I wear Burt's Bees too, usually in a shade that's a couple of notches darker than my lips.
My husband hates lipstick, so I don't wear it when we go out, just lip balm.
