Christina wears red lipstick for a reason

Christina Aguilera has finally given the answer to one of her life's greatest mysteries! In the January issue of Glamour magazine, the singer reveals the reason behind wearing her trademark red lipstick.

Regardless of where she is going, Christina never leaves home without that red look. So, when asked if she is obsessed with wearing those ruby lips, she said:

"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...."

While answering if she would feel exposed without her make-up she answered,

"Yeah - there's a witch under this hair [she says laughing]. Would I feel exposed? Yes, in a certain way. 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."
