Frankly I meant the topic to be a social experiment on lipstick fad, but why complicate things when makeup is a personal preference? Beyond the colors we cannot really give labels to the women who wear them out of respect to each person's individuality.
So I will just share how wearing bold colors of lipstick make an ordinary mom feel after trying them:
One, it felt like a jolt of confidence depending on the occasion the loud colors were worn.
On routinary days, these lipshades give a feminist statement- that the woman can deviate from her usual sweetness and appear stronger rather than weakly feminine.
Two, the colors work like an attention magnet of sorts to the opposite sex.
As to whether the association has good or negative connotation, that is left in the mind of the other person seeing you in a different spectrum.
For me I used two new shades beyond my comfort level- one a chocolate brown ala retro brown of the 1990s;
the other a violet shade of lipstick on the deep blue side of hue (check photos).

Trying on the first lipstick- Maybelline Powder Matte in Raw Cocoa, felt intensely empowering. What new lipstick can do to a woman, and more.
Amore for the shy girl and confidence on a dull day.
But for me, let us just stop at women empowerment. Go wear this retro brown if you are a 1990s doe-eyed mom, hence I actually like the impression I make by wearing this color.
As for the vibrant violet, I think it is both flamboyant and cunning of a hue.
In addition, the punchy color may not be practical to use on usual days lest I want the negative glares from fellow moms of the old school variety; the color is appropriate though for unusual occasions like a costume party.
And use it as a political statement if you may (hooray to equality of rights, no to discrimination of all sorts, kinda statement). Of course this is just an off-beat suggestion. Take it as a pun, or not.
Wearing bold colors is a big deal for women who want to differentiate themselves from other women.
I've read somewhere that the human brain is wired to notice immediately anything that is out of the ordinary in his/ her environment.
So wear bold colors in lipstick fashion, and speak from the heart of a strong woman- unrelenting and unbending to stereotypes.
