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

No unfortunately not. Kevin Aucoin is a little difficult to find. He's available in a few big dept. stores (select Nordstroms, I believe) and a few boutiques here and there, but I order from beauty.com. I don't recommend ordering a lipstick sight unseen, but it worked out positively for me. Beauty.com does have a good return policy.
I would go to MAC and see if you do better with orange or blue based reds. If you think you do better with oranges, Talula might work for you. It is a *bright*, tomato red though - very 1950's. I could take a pic if you are curious.
KA has a large selection of red lipsticks, literally one to suit every person I think.

I think a stain would look really pretty and you can achieve that look with most lipstick through light application or blotting a bunch.
I'm a lot lighter than you (NW25), but my favorite is reddish color is Stila's Sofia.

You turned both ways?? Wow! I think most ppl. just turn one way or the other. I turned fuschia immediately when I tried some reds...it was ugly. Rockocco does look *really* pretty, so I hope it works out for you.
One thing that helps with lipsticks that turn is using a base (concealor or foundation) or a liner that would counteract the turning ie: a brownish liner under a blue red to warm it up.

Need opinions on a RED lipstick for my face
Would a warm red or cool red look best on me? Any colors you can suggest?
I have 6 empties to return so I'm excited about getting a new lippie!
TIA!!!!!

I think a warm red would be fab on you.
For a deeper more subtle red maybe try New York Apple, for a brighter red red maybe Ruby woo.
Hell just try them all until you love one.

Anyone else have a RED lipstick phobia? (And recs please!)
So I never thought I was a red lipstick kinda girl, partly because I always consentrate on my eye makeup, so I ususally wear very pale or neutral lip colors. My sister in law was looking at a picture of me wearing red lipstick for one of my proms, and she said it looked great on me so now I am rethinking it. I have some B2M empties, and thought I would red for a change. Now the question is which one. I have blonde hair, blue eyes, NW20 with pink undertones. I don't want an orangy red, and I am not totally opposed to bright red, but I am thinking I might ease into the color with a more suble red (if that is even possible LOL!) What would you recommend for me?
And.... if I am going to have red lips, that mean neutral eyes, so what is your favorite neutral MAC combo? The only neutrals I have are retrospeck and nylon...
