I stormed up to a suburban Richmond MAC counter a month or so ago and demanded to be given the truest red I could get. I left with a bag of Russian Red lipstick, RR lipglass (in case I wanted to go vinyl) and cherry liner. I like - but when I try during the day, I later feel foolish. Still working on that.
Here's my conundrum: A while back I bought Eclipse - an awesome deep wine matte that was in the Moonbath collection. I love it - but I can't wear it! I'm not sure if it's the darkness, the matte texture, or the combination of both, but it settles into the creases in my lips and I end up with areas of the lip that look very dark and spotty.
This actually happens with just about any deep burgandy/vampy color I do, unless it's a gloss. This didn't happen with RR, however.
What's wrong with my lips?
*PS: adding a similarly colored gloss or glass helps, but it negates the idea of having a matte color in the case of Eclipse

you might want to try a primer. mac makes one...sally hansen makes a comparable one as well, but for about half the price, called line fix. some lip balms will also do the trick, i wear burt's bees religiously under any lip products. the beeswax in it really helps fill in those little lines where makeup settles into.

I loooooove Seriously Rich mattene with 80% lip liner and clear gloss on top! Perfect red on me; not to overpowering for my face yet it give a lovely classy look. It has a slight berry tint to it that looks lush. I may need to get a back up although I just bought it lol. I am NC 50 with select tint and NC 45 with everything else.
