To talk about Lipstick, it would be good to have the definition of it ! Tom is the one that should give his definition of a lipstick.
From what I know, that name was given in 2004 by Amanda Burke when she saw some of the sunglows that the female hypo het albinos “Ruby” produced. The were had lipstick colors, like the deep red ones have.
In the following years, I have seen many fantastic red sunglows (2005/2006) on Tom’s web site offered as “lipstick line”, not as “lipstick”
Now, every where breeders are labeling “lipstick sunglows” even thought they are orange !! Not even red and far away from the ones Tom is offering as “lipstick line” ? Obviously, they don’t have understood what a lipstick is and that the lineage to Ruby and the hypo het bloodline Tom is using give them their unique color.
I have a lipstick from the 2004 litter, he was red as a baby and is still .
So, if a sunglow is not related to Tom’s hypo blood line het albinos (ruby, ...)and not deep red with bleeding colors, it’s not a “lipstick”. That's my understanding.

Here is a male, 2 years old. He did not yellow up and is still white and red on the tail. He is now 5 and still red and white.
