Re: Red lipstick for a beginner?
I agree to start with a sheer gloss (i love venetian lustreglass) then as you get used to it, add a red lipstick over the gloss for a little more color. as you get comfortable you can start reversing the order and put lipstick on first and gloss second...or no gloss at all!!
good luck!!
red lipstick = Love

Re: Red lipstick for a beginner?
I second LadyBug. Its a lustre too, so its a sheerer formula. And like its been said before, make sure you use a red lipliner.
Oh and your son is adorable!

That, and Russian Red l/s is a matte formula, and I find it enhances every little crevice or imperfection in my lips, unless I use a gloss over it.
I would still consider getting a red lipglass, however. But Lady Bug is still awesome.

Re: warm toned red lipstick from MAC
My personal fav is actually from mark. It is their Glamazing lip and cheek rouge in Screen Scarlett. So awesome! But if you are looking to go the MAC route, then I suggest Lady Danger, Chili, Dubonnet, or Eager. HTHS!

Re: Anyone else have a RED lipstick phobia? (And recs please!)
I personally really like russian red, and i'm pretty pale.
i think there is, like many others have said, a red for everyone :].
Just sometimes it takes a little while to find it.

Re: Anyone else have a RED lipstick phobia? (And recs please!)
I am NW 20 and I really like to wear red lipstick.
I wear Viva Glam I with lip pencil Auburn or Russian Red with lip pencil Cherry. I apply the lipstick with a brush.
My MA once said to me: "You must wake up in the morning and say - today is a day for Viva Glam I!"
I listen to this feeling in the morning

I'm an nc25-30 and i found that Modern Ms. from the barbie collection is very flattering on me. If you can get one i would, it has brick tones which work well with our skin tone. Also try New York Apple but it is more of a pink in my opinion.

Re: Anyone else have a RED lipstick phobia? (And recs please!)
Red lips are tricky. Reds can make thin lips look like two thin red lines. Reds require the right base like liner all over the lips, applicication of lipstick and blotting till you build up to the right colpour that will not migrate off the lips onto the face or teeth. What looks great in the tube or on your friend may look not so good on you (MAC's O looks like I was asphyxiated, Russian Red is way too cool-and thin) Sometimes a deep rose or a moccha'd or plummy red can work better. (On warmer skins) Blood Reds like Fire Down Below (NARS) work well as a stain, and a clear red gloss or laquer can be applied to a lighter red (Sucess, SCarlett Empress, Viridiana) to ampify the redness and shine without making the lips apperar too flat or thin. (Matte red is very old lady)

Try MAC's Russian Red. Its similiar to that vibrant red that Christina Aguilera wears. She was actually my inspiration in wearing red.
Russian Red is a true blue red..bonus is..it makes your teeth look lighter
Hope that helps
