Re: Red lipstick for me?
I think russian red is great for pale girls. Like if you've ever seen russian people in movies like james bond that's the type of red they have and I always wanted that and I got it when I got russian red. I'd forgo the lipglass though that's the lamest thing ever.. Red and Matte.
Also Urgent! isn't a great idea for red.. more orangy than blue and you really have to layer it on. Still amazing lipstick tho.

It depends on your skin color, as well as, skin pigments/undertones. Hair and eye color also play a role, but only moderately.
If you have cool pigments/undertones, you would need a red lipstick that possesses cool colors, as opposed to warm. I would recommend "MAC lipstick in "Russian Red"
If you have warm pigments/undertones, you would need a red lipstick that possesses warm colors, as opposed to cool. I would recommend "MAC lipstick in Lady Danger"

I used to love wearing red lipstick when I had red hair. But since going back to my natural colour (dark blonde) I feel like I just can't pull it off any more. I'm NW15 (just) with grey/blue eyes. I love bright lipsticks, but I just don't know where to start with reds. I've already got Venetian l/g, which is gathering dust as I just don't think it looks right. Does anybody have any suggestions, or should I just stick to the pinks?
There's a couple of pics of me in an old FOTD here http://specktra.net/f166/feeling-pink-96827/ if that helps at all!

It's entirely your choice, of course, and you do look great in pinks, but since you asked ...
You have such pretty lips, full and nicely shaped, that I think you can, as they say, totally pull off red lips.
I suspect that maybe you're just not used to seeing yourself in red.
I love MAC Lustre lipstick in "Ladybug" for a sheer but true red.
I have a good friend(NC15, brown eyes, brown hair) who couldn't find a red she liked on herself, either.
I even gave her "Ruby Woo" as a gift, and she tried and tried to make it work, but finally gave up.
She was still determined to wear red, though, and I suggested "Ladybug."
During the recent Friends and Family(guess who forwarded to her?) sale, my friend went to a MAC store, determined to come home with a red lipstick.
She looked at MAC Red and Ladybug, and ended up choosing MAC Red.
I think MAC Red looks great on her, but I can tell she's still uncertain about it, because she keeps putting Melon pigment over it.
Red is tricky, but worth it, at least in my opinion.
