    I notice that my lips and cheeks are always red. To me it looks like I might even have lip stick on my lips. Is that even normal?

    my skin is kinda dark naturally, my hair isn't light either.

    It doesn't bother me though, but I have no idea what it could mean.

    Could just mean you have really good blood flow in your body?

    My sister has something called 'rosatia'. (No idea if I've spelled it correctly.) I'm not sure if it makes her lips red, but it makes her cheeks red. She wears special cover up so that it isn't noticable...

    I took a look at the pictures in your gallery and I didn't see anything that looked out of the ordinary. There's a lot of variation in the normal color of skin. It can vary from pale pink to dark red. Some areas like the lips, tongue, penis, scrotum, labia and perianal area can take on a bright red, purple or even brown color. These are all normal variations and in the absence of other symptoms, are all considered normal.
