The history of lipstick started long ago, by some of the most powerful women. Some crushed insects, stones and plants to give off the appearance of youth and health. Did this get the attention of acceptable male suitors, or even seduce them? Some believed it did. In 1770, England’s parliament passed a law against lipstick, believing that women who seduced men into marriage by wearing makeup, should be tried as witches. More »

To wrap up our dating special, I went straight to the source for date-night beauty secrets: a guy.

More often than not, guys aren’t looking for a girl whose face is spackled with makeup. My Insider Guy says that when he sees a girl completely covered up with makeup, he wonders, “what are you hiding?” He says that the less makeup a girl is wearing, the better because it shows that she is comfortable with who she is.

To kick off our special dating series, I’m going to cut right to the chase: a girl needs to be careful when choosing her date-night beauty products. Nothing can ruin a great conversation better than when your lipstick decides to make an appearance on your teeth, or if your date is too busy looking at his reflection in your shiny forehead to respond to your questions.

From Ningin: As part of the ongoing preview on CrazySingleLife, we’re going to introduce some of the dating stars before the site launches. Each dater on CSL will have an alias derived from a color. They also have to write two posts before they start dating, an introduction post and a Mr./Mrs. Right post. The introduction post is meant as a description of themselves, but not like height, age, occupation. It’s more a window into their soul and the journey that their heart has been on. The second post is an open letter to the future Mr./Mrs. Right so that he or she will know to come calling on our daters.

The following except is from the introductory letter of Steel, one of the two male bloggers for CSL. On Monday, you met Tenne, yesterday you met Cerulean and tomorrow you’ll meet them all. Enjoy! More »
