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.
*red lipstick expert*




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 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.








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












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*.![]()

Many of the obstacles you once imagined are not even there.

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

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.
Exotic dancing is like any other job.If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.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.




Russian Red for the win!!
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!

My favorite drugstore red is Rimmel's lasting finish (the one with Kate Moss's signature on it) in 01.





I always thought red lippies were harsh on me..last yr. I got the 'birthday gift' from Sephora containing a mini Makeup Forever red..I love it! It's kind of a muted red. N9 color
