Calling all red lippy fanatic's, I am here to aid you on your crimson journey; That sounds terribly wrong, but bear with me, I'm VERY new to this.
I've been in search of the perfect combinations for my make-up kit since I started my lipstick love affair back in 2009, and the same problems always arising; 'Too sheer, bleeds, too similar to the one I previously purchased and finally PIGMENTATION WHERE ARE YOU?!'.
Luckily, every epic journey usually has a happy ending (unless you're invited to a red wedding). I have segregated most of my reds, and concluded that these four shall remain my primary shades until the end of time!
MAC COSMETIC'S:
SO CHAUD & RUBY WOO
LIMECRIME'S:
RETROFUTURIST & GLAMOUR 101
These shades are versatile beyond comprehension. They provide you with a variety of tones suitable for many different skin tones, a range of possible textures from matte's to something more glossy and my favourite of all 'THE LIP STAIN', which Retrofuturist is especially brilliant for.
Here is what they look like applied boldly to the lips straight from the tube. I just love how incredibly different and unique they look next to each other, the possibilities really are endless with these bad boys.
