Red lipstick

[cno64]

I have "Russian Red," and it is a gorgeous deep glamor-girl red.
"Powerhouse" is on the way; I'll let you know what I think of it later.

Ruby woo is awsome!

Second Dubonnet! And Diva is pretty but it is *not* a red color, it's a deep burgundy. You can see me wearing it on the geisha look here: http://www.specktra.net/showthread.php?t=53196

Lady Bug is nice for your "first" red lipstick! It's subtle but buildible.

I personally like warmer reds since they don't turn fuschia on the lips. Try filling your lips in with Half-Red lip pencil and topping it off with Ladybug lipstick.

Thanks for the sugestions! Im going to list them all to try on when i go to the mac counter this weekend

thanks!

It depends.
For a deep blue-based red, I love "Russian Red," but for brright, fire-engine red, it's gotta be "Powerhouse."

red lipstick?

I am a NC 45 and I need some ideas or tips for wearability. If anyone has any sugestions for colors/brands let me know.

I'm also NW15, and I love love love Kevyn Aucoin's lipstick Talula. It's a bright, coral, orange-based red. The formula of his lipsticks are to die for...so smooth and they wear a long time.

I tried on reds at MAC and they all turned fuschia on me.

I hope you find your perfect red! You'll know when you put it on.

can you hold on until Rockocco comes out next week? B/C the one in that collection is fall on your head gorgeous.

As far as MAC goes - Ruby Woo or Russian Red - I think those are the best.

Go with MAC if you want good quality for sure. I'd say apply prep and prime lip by MAC or chapstick first and then use either Russian Red or Ruby Woo for l/s.
