I read this article in the Globe and Mail the other day and I figured I would share. I think it’s awesome since I LOVE red accessories.
It would be interesting to see what our phero-guys have to say about that.

Article:
Women interested in attracting a man would be well advised to wear red - and the more red the better.
A series of studies by researchers at the University of Rochester has revealed that men are far more attracted to women in red clothing or surrounded by red accessories than females who sport other colours.
What’s more, men seem to be especially generous to the lady in red - and are more willing to open up their wallets to wine and dine her.
To measure the amorous effects of red, the researchers gauged men’s responses to pictures of women under different colour conditions.
In one experiment, the pictures were framed by a border that was either red, white, grey or green. In other tests, the researchers digitally altered the photo so that the same woman was wearing either a red or a blue shirt.
“The women shown framed by or wearing red were rated significantly more attractive and sexually desirable by men than the exact same women shown with other colours,” the researchers concluded in their study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Psychology professor Andrew Elliot, who led the research, noted that throughout history many cultures have linked sex with the colour red, ranging from ancient peoples who used ochre body paints on fertile females to modern-day “red-light” districts.
But Dr. Elliot speculated that men’s response to red may also have deep biological roots that go beyond a learned cultural response.
The sexual parts of female baboons and chimpanzees take on a conspicuously red hue when they are reaching ovulation. In similar fashion, many human females will become flush-faced when they are interested in a male, Dr. Elliot said.
“It may well be that males have this deep-seated sense of red indicating sexual availability,” he speculated. “I think females can use that to their advantage - and to wear it or not, depending on their desires.”
Still, it could take more than a red dress to win over a reluctant male. Red did not change the way men rated the women in terms of likeability, intelligence or kindness - just their physical attractiveness.
kinda weird because i was just reading this up today 
shows ur different
Personally, I love a hot matte orangey red on blondes. Brunettes can take more of a range of reds. I think a deep red or plummy/vampy red can look smashing on a sultry brunette. If you want to go for the color but are a bit unsure of getting away with it, or have a thinner lip-shape, you can just use a gloss in the middle of your lip, instead, which you can blend out with your finger/brush. This gives a much softer appearance to the lip while you still get a nice pop of color!
