Help needed! First red lipstick :-)

[lily89]

So as the title says I need some help with choosing my very first red lipstick. For some reason I have been staying away from red but I think it is time to get some red in my life xD I am nw15 and I was looking up some swatches online and was thinking about Ruby Woo or Russian Red? I dont look good in yellow/orange ubdertone lipsticks. I like my lipsticks a bit brighter but to be wearable to work at the same time. lol so please could you give me some recomendations?

Ruby Woo and Russian Red both have a blue undertone (which is awesome because it makes your teeth look white) and both compliment basically everyones skin tone. Russian Red is a deeper red where as Ruby Woo is brighter. I personally LOVE Ruby Woo because its a Retro Matte. If you can, get both! They're both beautiful shades

Burberry Military Red ( very classy ) Dior 999 a go-to Red lipstick MAC Ruby Woo, a must-have Chanel Pirate or Passion both are great Armani 400 Estée Lauder Vengeful Red Among others I hope this was useful

Chanel passion looks very pretty on swatches. Def something Id wear. thanks!

Illamasqua! They also have a vast selection of reds. Sangers is a great one (I own this). Maneater is another one to check out, as is Box.

On my skin tone Russian Red pulls kind of warm, I'd go with Ruby Woo or Mac Red for a very cool undertone.

You are welcome Yes Passion would be an option. I forgot to mention the new Nars line, beautiful Red lipsticks are available now.

Don't forget the Mineralize line too - Everyday Diva is great (I'm a Nw10-15). I find the formula a lot easier to wear (i.e. with Russian Red - which i also love! - I need to use a brush and liner, whereas everyday diva doesn't need all that special attention)

I also think that Ruby Woo would be perfect but Russian Red is also a great color. Also, how about the VG I which is darker kind of a brownish red but still with a blue undertone therefore also easier for every day since you are not used to wearing reds ? I am also not a red-kind of girl and I also started with the VG I to get used to it

I love cockney and ladybug too- they are sheer so very wearable

Cockney is really good to begin, it's sheer but red. I started with it and now most of my lipsticks are red. I think it's easier to begin with a lustre than a matte one.

I have just recently started to wear red and went on a red lipstick buying binge . Ruby Woo is amazing and I really like Kinky.

Reds are so fun!! Russian red was my first red, and I feel like it's a very classic shade to start off with.
