I really hope its this shade of red that rihanna is wearing in the pic
I don't know which lipstick that is, but whatever it is, it looks like a red i could actually wear!
Most reds just wash me out - i need massive amounts of stuff elsewhere on my face to carry off a red - complete primer, color corrector, concealer, foundation, setting powder - full-on, seriously detailed eye makeup. So red is just generally not worth the trouble for me.
I've been thinking of trying to concoct my own red - start with a true red base, add a dab of true green to mute it, a dab of black to darken, and a dab or two of true violet to make it bluer...
Hmmm, Lipmix isn't on the MAC site anymore for us non-PROs - i thought there was a black... And didn't OCC have a true green recently (i don't mean Chlorophyll, which was teal).
