how to find the perfect red lipstick{like gwen)

[luvme4me]

any ideas? I always seem to choose a red that looks to orangey on me

 

[Juneplum]

hmm.. have u tried ruby woo or russian red?? those are pretty true red's..
oh and i moved your post to recommendations..

 

[Shawna]

What colouring are you? I am really pale (NC15), but New York Apple and my fave O look really red on me.

 

[luvme4me]

oh sorry and thank you for moving it! I have tried various brands recently i bought a red lipgloss from avon i think what i need is a red lipgloss with a blue tone base

If you want a soft but blue red gloss Scandal by Nars is gorgeous.
For a more in your face red, try Russian Red (seen in Dopesickgirls avatar)
It looks stunning.

If you're looking for a nice blue-toned red try the following:

Lipstick: Viva Glam I, Russian Red
Lustre Longwear: Alta Moda
Lipglass: Russian Red

I Wish I Could Help Ya But Im Still On The Hunt For A Red Also...

High Bred Red is also a beautiful blue toned red, but that was a limited edition in the Red Haute collection. It's worth looking out for though.

In the FAQ forum there is a list of the top 5 red lipcolors, which might give you a good jumping off point: http://specktra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25458

I strongly suggest going to a counter and trying colors out on your hand, as red can be a tough shade to find that stays true on some skintones.

Russian red all the way!

I second Viva Glam I!!! Red Haute was a great collection....too bad it was LE. But if you can find it sometimes at the CCO's if you come across Red Haute l/s and V-Red l/g grab it!!! I love that color combo. HTH

Definetly look out for V-Red lipglass, it's my favorite red lipgloss! I'm very cool toned, so no orange toned lippies work on me. However, Russian Red and Ruby Woo work on me.

MAC Russian Red all the way!

It looks great with MAC Cherry lipliner. HTH!

I'm an NC35, and I found that no orange or blue toned reds really suit me. So now I tend to choose berry, burgundy, or wine shades of 'red'.

I think Gwen used to wear Gash by Urban Decay, but it's D/Ced.
You may be able to find it on ebay though.

i have yet to find the perfect red too.

 

[daisyv316]

[Tubachick02]

I wear red all the time and my faves are Russian red and Viva Glam I

 

[glittergoddess27]

Ruby Woo + fanplastico laquer,... is HOT

 

[glam8babe]

MAC eagar - gorgeous and bright and makes your teeth look white!
