Always wanted to try red lipstick but don’t know where to
start? I meet so many girls that think
they can never do red, but here's a secret - once you find the right shade, you
will be searching for places to wear this sexy color! Here are a few options that will make you
feel like an absolute vixen.
1. Russian Red (MAC)
- looking for a true blue-red color that will make you feel the glamour of
Madonna circa "Vogue"? Russian
Red is my all-time favorite red - it's a cult classic worn by starlets, fashionistas
and powerhouse women alike. This
lipstick is a blue based red which is great for olive complexions, and it has a
demi-matte finish so it's not too drying.
It glides on quite easy and has great staying power.
2. Ruby Woo (MAC) -
there is something I find really unique about this color - it is similar to
Russian Red but it is uber matte so it just feels so sensual putting it on, a
very femme fatale feel, if you will. It
is much more drying than Russian Red, but its a super sexy look. I find that it
has better staying power than Russian Red, but if you have dry lips you may
need some gloss on this one.
3. Be Legendary
(Smashbox) - this is a classic, iconic shade that is wearable on a variety of
skin tones. It has a lustrous, creamy
feel and it is highly pigmented with great staying power. Love the square Smashbox packaging! So sleek!
4. Oversexed plush
glass (MAC) - Not yet ready to do a full red lip? Ease your self into it with Oversexed Plush Glass. Don't let the dark berry color scare you! This is a beautiful gloss that gives your lips amazing depth and a nice tingling feeling. For extra oomph, put this gloss on any of the
above reds to take your lips from blah boring to bombshell!
FYI MAC Cherry lipliner
is my go-to liner for all my red lipsticks. Enjoy these gorgeous shades!
I love Russian Red (MAC) and Ruby Woo (MAC)! I love all the descriptions...very accurate! of course of course :)
