    Default Favourite red lipsticks?

    I am tired of wearing nude pinks all the time. I really want to try a new look and am looking for a true red lipstick, without hints of pink or coral, preferably a matte finish... What are your favourites?

    What you're looking for is Russian Red by Mac.

    Hourglass Opaque Rouge liquid lipstick in Icon. It is the sexiest shade of red that I own. Everytime I wear it I feel...dangerous! Lol. They have the Icon shade in their regular lipstick and lipgloss too. I like the liquid lipstick best, it has a matte finish and lasts forever.

    I heard great things about Russian red as well! I really wanna try it out next time I visit a MAC counter... I have around 20 containers for the Back2MAC recycling program lol. Might as well exchange them for some lipsticks

    Is a red lip liner a must? If so, which one would you recommend?

    I am so excited about getting new lipsticks but scared at the same time lol I have fair skin and big lips... Last time a MUA put on a red lipstick on me it made them look huge and clown-ish.

    If you are pale like me, lip liner is a must. It keeps the edges from bleeding. Mac has a red liner that matches Russian Red pretty well. Personally, I like the clear lip liners, but that's just because you only need one, instead of matching up all of your lipsticks.

    If you feel that it's too bright and clownish, try patting the lipstick on or blotting twice with tissue. Then put a lip balm over it if it's too dry.

    Oh it's the first time I hear about clear lip liners!

    Do you usually apply the lipstick directly from the tube or with a brush? (I'm a total newb)

    You can do either, it's whatever you're comfortable with. I do it from the tube because I love bright (clownish, lol) pigment.

    Can't wait to try this shade out! I just looked on the Sephora website and Icon is one of the only two shades Hourglass also carry in travel size

    If you're willing to go a bit orange while you're at Mac, try Lady Danger. I looooove that shade.

    Or if while at Sephora you want to try a deep red, try the Bite High Pigment Pencil in Scarlet*.

    ruby woo, or any blue-tinted reds..they will make your teeth look much whiter than warm/coraly/peachy tones or frosts.

    Cargo has a great reverse lip liner, too. I use that with strong lip colors and use a brush to apply.

    I have Ruby Woo and am a dark skinned woman. It looks great on everyone. Please DO NOT buy Ruby RiRi by Mac it's the same shit.

    Low end red matte lipsticks....I can't go on enough about e.l.f rich red It's 3 friggin dollars and delivers. This is not an affiliate link I swear
    http://www.target.com/p/e-l-f-matte-...m=elf+rich+red

    I love this stuff. I grab a few at one time just to make sure Im stocked up.

    Also Kat Von D has a line of liquid matte lippys. Not sure but Underage Red is in that line. My tube has rubbed off and I can't tell. So if you can get past the name Underage Red, it's a contender.

    I personally use Very Cherry by Maybelline. It's the first red lipstick I've been completely happy with, but I have had such a horrible time finding a good red that I don't buy anything more expensive than the drugstore. Lay down a base of red pencil, line with clear, and apply from the tube is my style.

    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.

    I used a red lip crayon back in the day. It reduced the smearing and bleeding that would usually happen with red lipstick.

    My go-to is Nars Heatwave, although it's fairly orangey. You'll definitely need to spend some time trying them all on because bright reds are notoriously difficult to match to your coloring. What looks excellent on one chick will make another look like a zombie.

    For my base I use Too Faced lip insurance (it's a lip primer that is great if your lips tend to be dry), then regular nude lip liner, then my lipstick applied carefully from the tube.

    I actually saw the Kat Von D matte gloss yesterday when I went to Sephora, Outlaw was so pretty I almost bought it but chickened out. I'll check out Underage red next time (I think it was sold out)

    i absolutely love red lipsticks but i'm self conscious about how they make my teeth look so i rarely wear them :/ with that said, i am *really* interested in these, never tried any though. this is what drew me in:

    Ellis Red is Ellis' signature colour: it is based on the natural colour of blood. That colour is the same in all of us, so therefore it doesn't clash with anyone's skin. Loved by women who never wore any other red lipstick before, as well as by red lipstick die-hards.

    Omg, the Ellis Red looks amazing! I'm not sure if it's because of the blood red tone or if it's just the lips on the models used, but it doesn't seem to have that "minimizing" effect that most dark colors have. I've definitely gotta try it!
