The cosmetic manufacturing industry is worth billions – more zeros than most of us could imagine – which is precisely why the multi-national cosmetic conglomerates are as happy as the proverbial pig in mud for their inner sanctums to be heavily shrouded in myths and misinformation.

Just to whet your appetite, the value of the cosmetics and toiletries market in Europe is around the $100 billion mark per annum, in USA $50 billion, and Japan $30 billion.

But that $180 billion isnt even scratching the surface – Asia, India, Africa, Middle East … how many zeros can you handle? Is it any surprise the big name brands dont want to share even the smallest slice of these massive pro?ts, buying out up their competitors to create giant global monopolies?

Maybe hard to imagine for the uninitiated, but when you look at the major players in this game (Procter Gamble, Unilever, L’Oreal to name a few), youll see theyre some of the largest, mega-wealthiest corporations in the world, with forever increasing growth. These companies guard their intellectual property – their formulations – ?ercely. Its their lifeblood – the fact that the formulas and manufacturing procedures, though relatively simple, are not common knowledge, and so many myths prevail, allows them to keep a strong stranglehold worldwide.

Although it ranges from being a bright red to a deep maroon, red dress shirts are particularly pleasing when combined with darker colors.

It is a color with intense psychological effects, as proven by sociologists. It is associated with aggression, determination, and passion. With that said, donning such a color on a dress shirt is a method of conveying such characteristics.

Be careful with red shirts. Wearing the ‘wrong’ shade can offset the appearance of your natural skin tone. Just like the pink dress shirt, a red dress shirt on a man guarantees that he’ll get noticed. And because of that reason, it is best not to wear it in conservative environments, as it can look striking and unorthodox.

Red dress shirts are more suitable for occasions outside the office environment.

Men with porcelain skin can get away with wearing true reds in striking shades. Although not a popular color on men’s dress shirts, it can be played down depending on the design of the dress shirt components. Maroon dress shirts are great for olive and darker skin tones and can be another addition to dress shirts for clubbing.

The maroon shade is a rich jewel tone that invokes both mystery and allure and perhaps best suited for a romantic evening for two. Red Dress Shirts: Shop Online. www.ShirtsMyWay.com |
