Remember those movies where you'll see pretty pale girls with pink flushed cheeks wearing dainty bonnets and scarves walking in the snow and are being followed by the perfect boy-next-door?
If there's one thing common about these girls, it's their red lips. Beautiful, cherry lips that somehow look wonderful and apt for the holidays.
So why not sport a red lip this holiday season? Here are my personal faves for you to see. And who knows? You might find your perfect red lippie! :)
MAC RETRO MATTE LIPSTICK IN RUBY RED
Ruby Woo is a lovely ruby red color. It is darker than Russian Red but it looks somewhat bright on the lips when worn.
REVLON MATTE LIPSTICK IN 006 REALLY RED
Really red is a true red lipstick color. It is a universally flattering skin tone, and is the cheaper alternative to Russian Red. The only difference is, it's a bit muted than the bright red hue of Russian Red.
MAC MATTE LIPSTICK IN DIVA
MAC Diva is a burgundy shade with a deep brown undertone. It is dark in actual and is perfect for those who want to sport a more vampy look.
ELIZABETH ARDEN CERAMIDE PLUMP PERFECT LIPSTICK IN PERFECT CASSIS
Perfect Cassis is a pink- red lipstick. It's perfect for those who prefer a not-so-screaming red lippie.
MAC MATTE LIPSTICK IN RUSSIAN RED
Russian Red is a blue- based red. It is a universally flattering shade of red for any skin tone.
MAC Red is a cherry red color
CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE LAQUE 75 DRAGON
Dragon is a brick red color. It's bit dark but is absolutely gorgeous. Makes skin look fresh and the overall look pretty.
I find myself wearing Chanel more often since I'm so lovin' it's color right now.

I haven't found my ultimate red. I think I wanna check out Ruby Woo!
ReplyDeleteShu RD 165, very similar to Ruby Woo! I love it because when it fades, it fades evenly so you can be carefree with this one but it stays on a long long time. One time I went to a wedding and we ate a lot of stuff but after the lovely dinner RD 165 stayed put.
ReplyDeleteNow I know when I think of previous Chinese actresses they're always in red lippies! It looks pretty on pale skin..
Nina: ruby woo is promise. trust me. you might wanna check out lady danger as well. :) it's also from mac. :)
ReplyDeletechelle:yep. especially on chinitas. but it looks equally good on morena and medium skinned ladies as well. somewhat like megan fox. :)
ruby woo stays put. kaso it's a bit drying kasi uber matte talaga ang finish. as in no moisture at all.
thanks for the comparison! I love MAC Red.. wanna buy Russian red next time.. and Oh, btw, in case you dont know NYX chaos is the dupe of MAC red.. =) I have some swatches on my blog..
ReplyDeleteomg nw I pissed I didn't get that Revlon in my BOGO buy. I really like matte lipsticks and that red is awesome. Red lips are too hott!
ReplyDeletekim: thanks for the tip sis! :) i suggest ruby woo also. but russian red will always be my first love. :)
ReplyDeleterayqueenbee: it's a must- have! it's a cheap alternative for mac's russian red imo. great texture too!
