Belladande, red lips will highlight the mouth in general, yeah — but I actually love gaps and crookedness. Those kinds of smiles are much more interesting and memorable than a mouth full of veneers. So if your teeth are less than "perfect," don't be afraid to wear red lipstick or anything else you like.

I wear red alot and bleach my teeth with Crest whatchamacallit mouthwash every morning (it really works!), but they don't look quite as white when I have red on.... `if i knew anything about emoticons, i'd insert a sad face here`

Should people be concerned about the condition of their teeth when wearing red lipstick?Besides stained or not-quite-white teeth, would red lips highlight gaps or crookedness?
