Thanks for some great pics and inspiration! There's soo many takes on red lips to choose from!

I love reds too, also because I love the 50s pinup look. I'm Bangladeshi and an NC43. For a true red I use a Rimmel red liner with MAC Dubonnet on top, as Russian Red is too blue for me. Here's my pinup look:

I think reds + colour can work too if you play around with texture, here I am wearing a semi-sheer orange-red gloss (YSL Golden Gloss) with mint green eyes and sheer red cheeks (I like to think of it as a modern take on 1960s Bollywood!):

Here's mine - I'm Bangladeshi and NC45.

That's Wet 'n' Wild "Cherry Blossom" lipstick. Pinkish red.

Those are both Victoria's Secret lipgloss in Oatstanding. Sheer shimmery brick red.

That's Rimmel lipstick in "Scream."

Unfortunately I don't remember what color this is!

Thanks for this I'm nw45 and just bought my first red lipstick (at 29) and my husband gave me the Rock eyebrow when I tried it and I've been too shy to wear it out, but I'm going to try it tonight for dinner, best time to try new looks away from home

It may sound crazy but I live for bold colors and brightness.

I totally agree ... I recently tried Russian Red lips and Flame Red cheeks and it looked HOT!!

LOL ... the first time I wore red lips my BF said it made me look old and kinda like a librarian!!!

It's a good thing I don't pay any attention to him, atleast where make-up is concerned cuz now I have a newfound love for bright lipsticks!

Has anyone seen Rihanna's Take a Bow music video? In it she wears a wicked red lipstick. Does anyone have any idea what colour it is? Or what colour may come close?

you are too freaking gorgeous. im so jealous.

I bought a dark red from mufe that i reaallly liked, but it was so shiney and slick that it bled everywhere. i just bought the clear lip liner from benefit thats supposed to be great for preventing feathering. When i try it out i'll post it.

I don't think you need to follow the light eyes with a red lip "rule". I did a green eye with red once, and it actually looks pretty good. I think brown smokey eye would be nice, or gold or amber.
