Red lipstick can be quite tricky shade to wear - one moment it’s on your lips, the next it’s smeared all over your face, nose and teeth and not to forget your precious dress. But still its one of my favorite shades to wear and nothing brightens the face instantly as red lip color.In this video I will show you my favorite reds that will suit most complexions.
My favorite Red lipstick of the time is the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick Le Rouge. This is a classic true bright red. The lipstick so comfortable to wear and never feels dry on my lips. The pigmentation is superb and stays put on my lips all day without eating and drinking that is. It particularly looks great on darker and more sallow complexions, but without the double it will really suits everyone.
Another lipstick that I never want be without is the MAC Lady Danger. This is a matte lipstick , yet smooth as butter and quite moisturizing, very pigmented, applies evenly and also incredibly long wearing. This is the perfect shade of bright orange red und if I feel and look tired then this is the shade that I fall back on. Again, it really would suit everyone but I find it looks especially great on redheads.
If you are on a budget then I suggest you try the Rimmel 660 in love with ginger. This is a beautiful coral red and feels moisturizing enough on my lips.
The only disadvantage is that it doesn't stay particularly long on the lips and it also doesn't wear off evenly - so you will have to check it frequently in the mirror in order not to end up looking like a clown. But still, all in all great budget buy.

In Autumn and Winter, I tend to wear red lipstick more often - I suppose it gives bit of warmth and color in the dull winter months. Also red lipstick never seems to go out of fashion and it suits every occasion. I probably own over 100 lipsticks ( I am a makeup artist and I need them... all), so it was very hard to limit the stack to only three lipsticks, but these are the ones that I have been wearing most lately and one of them is always in my bag.
Hot pink lips never seem to go out in fashion in summer time. One thing I love about bright pink lips is that they're ultra-feminine and so bold at the same time. I love pairing hot pink lip with neutral or rose eye shadow and glowing skin. This look is on my favs for a hot summer party.
In summer, I
prefer to use a lip-gloss to a heavy lipstick. I suppose it’s like wearing
lighter clothes.These are the top three
lip-glosses that never leave my makeup bag and they also would suit most skin tones:
I am not really mad about the Kardashian clan and I
generally don’t buy celebrity endorsed products such as makeup or perfumes, because
they usually disappoint. Nonetheless I have to admit that Kardashian sisters’ makeup
is always flawless, so I gave this line a go. I picked up the Kardashian Beauty
Au Natual Lip Kit ‘In the Flesh’, which is a pinkier flesh-tone as the other
two colours in the line. I tend to look bit washed out with completely
nude pale lips, so adding bit of pink to the nude doesn’t make me look like one
from the waking dead.
This set features a dual ended lip liner and lipstick and separate
lip-gloss.
Orange lips are so on trend for Spring/Summer 2014. Orange is a hot and vibrant colour, it promotes energy and focus. For me its the colour of happiness, every time I wear something orange it makes me bit more enthusiastic about life. So if you want to stand out this season you need this color on your lips and in your wardrobe. May favorite orange lipstick of all times is MAC Morange followed by Makeup Forever Lipstick No. 40.
As a general rule your lipstick should
coordinate with your dress, wedding theme and of course with the rest of the
make-up.
I always recommend soft
pink-beiges, light or coral pinks, and also the classic red to the brides. I
think these shades are timeless and also photograph best. The consistency
of the lipstick should be creamy and smooth. Avoid matte lipstick as they can
be bit drying. If you want to your
lipstick to last long, then you must use and lip pencil. Choose a lip pencil
shade lighter or the same as the actual lipstick color. I would not recommend using lip-gloss on your
wedding day; firstly because it just doesn't look good in photographs and
secondly it makes the lipstick less lasting.
And if you must apply lip-gloss then concentrate the lip-gloss on the
center of your bottom lip for a plumping effect.
Here are some of my favorite Wedding lipsticks
that I recommend you try:
Bright pink lips and nude eyes have been spotted on the Giles Spring 2013 Fashion and this is a my favorite look at the moment. Bright lips are fun and young, and just perfect for spring. For this looked I used my new Maybelline Lipstick in 902 Fuchsia Flash , a vivid fuchsia shade and to add interest to the look, I applied a pale gold eyeshadow to my lids, but still kept the eyes clean and nude.
I must admit that I wasn't to crazy about the MAC's Strength Spring 2013 Collection. I think the promotional shot with Jelena Abbou, a Serbian-American IFBB Pro Figure competitor, put me just bit off. The collection looked way to strong and to dark for my liking. But two things really stood out for me: the Embrace Me lip pencil and the Absolute Power lipstick.
MAC Embrace Me lip pencil
Embrace Me lip pencil is not completely new, and it has been released few times over the couple years in various collections, but I just never got my fingers on it. It's a beautiful vivid fuchsia, a truly unique shade. The pencil glides on easily so long as your lips have been primed with foundation or lip primer. This is a perfect shade for bright pink lips as seen on Giles Spring 2013 Fashion Show. The key is to keep the face clean and fresh and let the lips do the talking. This was one of favorite make-up looks of the S/S 2013 season.
MAC Lasting Sensation Lip pencil
MAC Absolute Power lipstick
Another favorite from MAC's Strength Collection is the Absolute Power lipstick. This is a rich deep pink-red with blue undertones and a semi matte finish. It looks very deep, almost burgundy in the tube but on the lips it's so bright, rich and vibrant, perfect cherry red. It is bit similar to Ruby Woo, only less matte and more creamy. Really great shade for those little black dress occasions. Did you get anything from the MAC's Strength Spring 2013 Collection?
As a lipstick addict, I was very excited to hear that Bourjois had released new collection of 18 lipsticks.The collection is split into three lipstick families to suit all skin tones and tastes, namely; Preppy, Colour Block and Night Out.
Kate Moss had teamed up with Rimmel London Cosmetics and come out with a collection designed by herself.
Kate says: “Whilst I’ll always have my favourite timeless shades, I love to update my lipstick to reflect the new season’s style. I wanted to play with fresh and daring colour to create a look that’s fun and feminine but with an edge.”
I must admit that I'm very impressed with this entire line of lipsticks and would even go so far and say, that they are one of the best drugstore lipsticks in terms of color payoff and texture. They apply smoothly to the lips and are more moisturizing than the average drugstore lipstick and they also come in a wide range of colors that offer pearl to cream finishes and newly added mattes.The new matte range isnot completely matte though and the lipsticks have a slight sheen finish to them. The packing is either red for the matte range or black for the long lasting range with the name "Kate" written on a side in a lipstick print. They cost € 6.99 each here in Ireland.
Boots describe the No.7 Stay Perfect lipstick range as providing gorgeous colour that lasts for up to eight hours, while leaving your lips feeling dry. It’s supposed to be incredibly creamy and moisturising that it almost feels like a lip treatment. Well I don't think so. I find the formula provides a creamy matte texture, but the consistency accentuates every dry bit on my lips and is not even at all. So not really good choice if you have very dry lips. The color is quite pigmented, so I can imagine that can cover up most pigmented lips.
The staying power is not massively long lasting like you might find in a more expensive lipstick, it will still stays on for a long time but unfortunately doesn’t survive meals and drinks.
I picked two shades: Gay Geranium and Coral Rose.
Gay Geranium is such a gorgeous shade, its bright coral orange and it’s perfect for if you like the nude eye and bright pop of color look.
I had never tried before any lipsticks from Revlon as I usually love my high end lipsticks, but the Revlon's Red Lacquer caught my attention so I decided to give it a go.
Red Lacqueris a sheer cool-toned orange red. It’s a daytime red and not a rich, opaque red as it appears in the advertisement.
The lipstick feels smooth and hydrating on the lips and it doesn't bleed or feather but will have to be reapplied constantly. It doesn't last during drinking, eating or even from talking and takes a few swipes to get a bit of cover on my lips to get a nice coverage.
Lush liquid lipsticks are a mix of lip-gloss and lipstick and are really heavy pigmented and can double up as a blusher or can be also mixed with lip balm or cream to blend down. They will also soften the lips and are super moisturising. The bottle is really cute and is made of recyclable glass.
Cost in Ireland €17.95 for a 5g bottle.
Confident Confident is a deep plumy burgundy red. This colour applies really unevenly on my lips. To make it look more even, I press the lipstick with my fingers.Other than that it’s a great colour, which is quite trendy at the moment. I like to wear it with nude eyes and bright cheeks.
I was in love with tangerine and coral colors this summer, and feel quite sad, that the summer is over and now I've a feeling that should turn more to darker and richer berry shades for the autumn and winter. Blah! That's all I can say, not my favorite time of the year. Roll on summer 2013.
My favorite nail polish that came out this spring/summer 2012 is Dior Vernis in 537 Riviera, a lovely hot orange coral shade. It looks fiery, but still very feminine. I definitely wouldn't call it a straight orange or coral, but it does lean more on the orangey side with a slight reddish undertone. I also find that in different lighting, the color looks different too. Two coats and you get rich full coverage and with proper application the nail polish lasts almost a week on my nails.
No7 Sheer Temptation is the perfect marriage between a gloss and a lipstick. It glides perfectly like the creamiest lipstick and has the perfect amount of shine. Not sticky at all and it makes my lips feel moisturized.
I bought this one in Delight, which is a fresh natural pink with glossy finish and tiny golden shimmer particles. They are not really prominent, and you can’t really see them, but your defiantly can feel them somewhat on your lips. Not a long lasting lipstick but it’s very easy to reapply without mirror, because it is so natural looking.
To sum it up, it’s a great lipstick if you are looking for something moisturizing like lip balm with a pop of color on your lips. Also think they are quite good dupes for Chanel's Rouge Coco Shines.
