My husband really dosn't like red lipstick, or red nails. I wear them with very classic, conservative clothing. Red is such a classic color, I can't understand why he dosn't like them.

Tell him you like it. That should be enough.

So ask him. Be honest about how much you like the color, and ask him to return the favor by telling you honestly why he doesn't like red. Maybe he was raised to think that red is the color of prostitutes (a long time ago it was).
If you two can't agree, suggest a compromise that will suit you both. Maybe you wear it when you go out with the girls, or for work. But you leave the red lipstick off when you go out with him. You can paint your toes red, but not your fingers.
You shouldn't give up something that you like, but you also shouldn't have a major disagreement over such a minor issue.

nothing is wrong with red lipstick, but make sure it is the right red for you. choosing a great red will depend on whether you are a warm or a cool skin tone, if you dont know that answer find out a local make-up counter and they will be able to help you choose a red

It may be what he associates red with in his head.
Ask him what he thinks of when he sees the color RED
It might have negative connotation for him.
Instead of being upset or off put by this try to give him a new association so when he this red he thinks his wonderful wife.

IS it just the red that he doesn't like? My husband likes my nails natural, no polish at all.
He also doesn't like me wearing lipstick either, he says it's really gross to kiss a women w/lipstick on.

Although you wear it with classic, conservative clothing, maybe he still associates it with trashiness.
Red is one of those colours that can exude class, or whore-ishness. Maybe your husband only has negative associations with it.
Keep wearing it though, especially for work or going places without him.

red is not every woman's color. red nails, now that is sexy to a man, but red lipstick has to match your complexion, skin tone and overall shape of your face and lips..

Nothing wrong with red lipstick,is just that the colour is not his favourite.Since you are his wife he might prefer someother tone.

Nothing is wrong with it - that is just his personal preference. Red lips for everyday though are a bit much.
