As we head into fall and winter, I have to ask:
What's your favorite red lip color?
These days I have been constantly reaching for my NYC Smooch Proof 16HR Lipstain in Rock On Ruby. It goes on deep red and then it fades to more of a neutral red that's never too blue and never too orange. It's the perfect shade of red for me and I love the stain it leaves behind as it fades. How about you?
I'm kind of scared of reds, so I like mine sheer-ish. My favorites right now are the Milani HD lipcolor in Ignition and The Balm plumping gloss in some color that has punch in the name.
ReplyDeleteI have this teak lippy that's nice and mellow looking. It's kind of a go-to day lipstick for me, especially for fall.
ReplyDeleteI also want to try a berry lippy for those bolder days, but I'm still looking for the perfect one.
I usually use a really sheer brownie red every day (when not sticking with mauvey pinks), of varying brands. But when I want a *red* lip, I reach for Kat von D's Adora or Revlon Colorburst in Crimson. Both topped with a dark gloss to bring down the "shazam - it's red!" aspect.
ReplyDeleteI really only wear a red lip if I'm going out in the evening, but I like Maybelline's Red Revival. There's a Wet n' Wild matte red I really like too. I can't remember the name of it but I think it's Stoplight Red.
ReplyDeleteNYC Retro Red! It is a very bright true red that I almost never wear, but I love. Cheap, very well-pigmented, comfortable on lips and doesn't skew fuchsia.
ReplyDeleteNYX soft matte lip cream in amsterdam. love love love love love it
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about NYC Retro Red! I think it looks so good blotted; it gives it a stain-like appearance. Wearing it like that is a nice way to ease into bolder colors.
ReplyDeleteI have to say if I want a red i go for my mac red, that's if I am going for a classic look, now my all time favorite vampy red color has got to be cherry juibilie from avon I love it, its not too dark, not to brown the perfect vampy red.
ReplyDeleteRevlon Matte in Really Red. Hands down my favorite red lipstick ever! And I'm a TOTAL red lipstick junkie; I have so many! I always get compliments and get asked about this one when I wear it =) And I love this formula cus it's not drying on the lips, yet lasts a really long time! It's my signature going-out lip (when I'm not out with my honey bunches haha =P he doesn't like getting a mouth full of lipstick everytime we kiss LOL).
ReplyDeleteI love the wet n wild lipstick in cherry frost! It is bright and great for fall! Plus it's only $1
ReplyDeleteI love red & have too many now because I don't wear it as often as I used to:
ReplyDeleteTarte Stain & Shine in Cherry
NYC's LipGlides in Chinatown Cherry, Red Hot and NY Apple
a ton of red Lipstains by Mark, NYC, Styli-Style, VL, TheBalm, Pop & CG
Revlon matte l/s In the Red
Lancome Work It l/s and Ablaze JT
CG Burn LipPerfection l/s -which I bought because of your swatch and review G :)
WnW glosses, shimmery reds from holiday collections.
WnW tinted lipbalm in Cherry, the one that reminds me of a BB LipSmacker from the 80's, for those old enough to remember those!
Maybelline CS l/s in Summer Sunset & their new Baby Lips balm in Cherry Me
VS Beauty Rush l/g in Cherry Bomb
Sephora l/g in Bronze Beauty (red on me)
NYC plumping l/g in the sheer dark red from the spring LE collex, I forget the name but I think you have it too G.
There are probably a few more that survived the last purge, but that's enough for now ;)
My classic go-to is Revlon Certainly Red for every day or Cherries in the Snow for something more intense.
ReplyDeleteI love WnW Fierce and a new WnW matte berry red that doesn't have a name but is numbered 905D in a black casing with a clear top.
