Well B4 reading the responses, I was always thinking about Red Russian and Dubbonet from mac and now I just might get them.

For right now it's Nyx Mega shine lip gloss in Plush red and Np Set in Madrid loves these two babies!!!

I love Dubonnet, too. I have other reds as well but I can't remember what they are right now :) Depending on my mood, I pair them with MAC Chestnut liner or MAC Currant. Sometimes I'll use a lipglass or a generic lipgloss over it for a different look. I personally believe that anyone of any shade can wear red. It's all about playing with liners, undertones, glosses and blending. With so many liners, lipglasses and glosses available in a multitude of colors and the array of red lipsticks, every woman can have their signature red lip color and look fab!

Well I use Pure Vanity l/g and or Warning l/g. I also have Dubonnet but it looks a little wierd on me. I have Nars Fire Down Below as well that I like.

I would say just go in and try a few, also the key to good red lips is a lipliner so dont just slap on red lipstick use it with a liner it will make it look much better too.

All of my perfect reds (funnily enough, I just noticed) contain "red" word in the name hehe Port Red, Brave Red and Russian Red, both l/s and l/g.. Brave Red looks pinky-red on me, but I still adore it.

I just found my Vinyl lipstick, I always thought it was Ruby Woo for some odd reason. All the reds I like are always LE!

I need another good yellow red lipstick to dupe Vinyl and Shh, I'm bummmin!

I think Russian Red looks great on most people.
It is such a great colour and is my favourite red lipstick i have come across. It is also a matt lipstick, which i prefer to as glossy/shiny one. But if you dont like that you could always put some clear gloss over the top.

Hope this helps : ]

My perfect red is Dubonnet. I love that color, because when it's brushed on it can be very sheer like a stain, or very deep and rich when applied straight from the tube. It's a really beautiful color that I think is often overlooked.

I'm NC30 with olive tones, btw.
