The ultimate RED lipstick

[katred]

So holidays are supposed to be all about glamour and that includes a bold red lip! What's your favourite red to wear out on the town? Do you like to make a statement or preferred something more subdued?

(And if red isn't your thing, maybe you'd like to offer your opinion on your favourite coral lipstick here: http://www.specktra.net/t/185649/your-favourite-coral-lipstick)

My number one favorite is Chanel Rouge Coco in Cambon. It works really well on my cool toned skin since it's got strawberry tones to it. Some of my other favs are- -Illamasqua Sangers (esp with their Sheer Lipgloss in Lily-Rose over top it's amazing!) -Mac Deeply Adored (I get so many compliments every time I wear it) -Paul & Joe Silk Stockings -Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Intense Moulin Rouge. Wore this soooo much last fall and it reminds me of Hitman Absolution since that came out when I was wearing it a lot lol

For me, the ultimate red lipstick that can be worn all year round is MAC's Ruby Woo. I think it looks lovely on just about everybody. However, RiRi Woo is not far behind.

I am in love with RRW right now. However before it's release my absolute favorite red of all time was NARS Fire Down Below.

I got 3: RRW by Mac, Moulin Rouge by MUFE and Belladonna 2 by Melt Cosmetics. Those three are the reasons why I am no longer looking for another red lipstick. Doesn't get any better.

 

[MoForMakeUp]

I suppose I am the only one showing MAC RED some love

I do like Ruby Woo a bit better for the fall and winter though....

 

[Serenityy]

RiRi Woo! It's just the perfect red for the holidays! 2nd place would be Absolute Power! For everyday wear my go to reds are Scarlett Ibis and Ruby Woo.

Russian Red!

I have ten red lipsticks (all MAC and most of them LE), but I always go back to Russian Red because it's my ultimate red lipstick. It's the only red I'll backup for sure.

The other red lipsticks that I love are Heartless (a great neutral red), Love Goddess (a nice pink red), and Sin (the vampy one in my collection). I recently got RiRi Woo and it looks great for the holidays.

I love red lippies and have several but here's the crazy thing- I rarely wear them. I have no idea why? I think maybe I just feel that when I do wear them its like "BAM!" Look at those lips coming this way. The funny thing is I will wear every other color and not think twice about it, lol. Still, one red I always love is scarlet ibis. Riri woo is pretty too but I wonder if it's good with my nc30 skin. I just bought Kat von D's Adora today and I think it's a pretty holiday red with a metallic finish. Has anyone tried it?

Shontay - LOVE your new pic!!! WOOO beautiful!

I love every red lipstick especially Chanels

 

[jaeljasmine]

I don't know if I'd call it the "ultimate" but MAC Lady Bug is the only one that works for me. It's in my profile photo.

Thanks, Elegant! :kiss: I was going to name a Chanel lipstick, but it got squeezed out of my top 3. I do love Excessive, though.

I guess it's only fair if I name some of mine... Although to be fair, I could do separate lists of warm, neutral and cool reds. In general, Chanel has always seemed to bring their A-game to red lipsticks like no one else can, followed by Armani, but there are lots of reds that I love.

Chanel- Cambon and Rivoli; Dragon was my go to killer red until they discontinued it
Armani- The Red (#400 in the Maestro liquid lipstick formula; lives up to its name), #402 (Rouge d'Armani- so cool it almost crosses the border into pink), #608 (they call it plum, but it's red)
Guerlain- Garconne (my replacement for Dragon and I have to admit I prefer the solid formula)
Tom Ford- Reckless

Of course, this doesn't even include deep/ vampy reds, which form a whole separate category in my lipstick system... And yet, I still yearn for more...
