I bought a new GORGEOUS red lipstick. Bobbi Browns new Heart ls. Super gorgeous true red red that wears like crazy well. Made my lips look plump. It stayed for hours & did not come off on my coffee cup or glass. I put a pic & swatch of it in the Chanel spring thread if you want to see it.

Like ya'll need another red lipstick

Any suggestions to help AP look redder on me? Maybe a lip-liner? It is VERY pink and I'm not liking it too much.

Here are pics of me wearing the lipsticks. In order Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, Strong Woman and Absolute Power. I'm not wearing any lipliner underneath them and I tried to do it fast, so if the application isn't perfect that's why. Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot are brighter in real life. My camera has problems picking up bright pink shades. It also has a problem with purples, but Strong Woman is really close to how it looks in real life. When I wore SW last week I had Magenta underneath it and that made it closer to Heroine in case you don't have Heroine and wanted it.

Thanks! Maybe try Cherry or Redd lipliners? Cherry has more blue and Redd more orange, so Redd might help better with cancelling out the pink, but Cherry is closer to the actuall lipstick so it won't give trouble blending the colours into eachother.

I'm actually really suprized by Strong Woman now that I tried it on it's own. It is quite a deep purple and while it has more red than Heroine it doensn't pull very reddish on me at all.

I love your swatches. You are just a cutey pie and your coloring is similar to mine (except for the hair!) so I get a good idea if I will feel bold enough to try a lippy after I see it on you.

I'm glad my swatches can help you out:) But beware for PiPi and PaPa cause they are bolder than my pictures make them look.

I'm as pale as you, and SW looks very purple on me and doesn't pull red or pink on me either. I think it has a lot to do with skin tones.

While I was waiting for my SW (thanks Yazmin!) I kept seeing swatches of others wearing SW, and it was looking more pink than purple on them, and I was thinking "oh no" , then I told myself to stop getting so worked up, it would probably look quite different on me IRL.

And then I got it, tried it on, and it was

Because AP will turn pink on pale NW skins :)
Also, AP looks pinker if you apply a really light layer or blot it down or when it fades. I'm NC15 and I still get this, although it looks plenty red on me for the most part ….more of a cherry red, though, without much yellow or orange undertone.

Love Goddess - now that one runs reeaaaaallly pink. It only looks red on me in low light.
