Can you believe that the holidays are just around the corner? Are you looking forward to those holiday meals? I’m looking forward to spending time with family and… dreaming about those holiday desserts. Excuse me as I drool over the thought of desserts…You may have your holiday fest and guest list all planned. What about your makeup look? It can save you time coordinating your makeup to your outfit ahead of time. Try that theory out and tell me what you think! This time of the year I tend to reach for different shades of red lipstick. I going to talk about 5 red lipsticks that you might want to try for the holiday season or whenever. I believe everyone can wear red lipstick but one shade of red does not fit all…
- Coloured Raine Lip Paint in Vanity Raine…I can rave about this product for years.
Vanity Raine is something special to my heart. This liquid lipstick is orange based with a glow that is gorgeous on those with warm undertones. This lipstick has one of the most comfortable formulas out here. The texture is thin yet this product lasts for hours. The removal process is simple with an oil based remover or coconut oil.
Here’s two different shades from Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color collection.
685 Craving Coral is a vibrant orange red. When pairing with an outfit aim for shades of teal. This formula is a semi-matte and creamy. Apply 1-2 layer for a pigmented lip color.
690 Siren In Scarlet this is a blue toned red. This color will make your teeth appear brighter. This is perfect for when you want that simple yet classic red lip. The formula is semi-matte and creamy. Apply 1-2 layers for pigmented lip color.
Rimmel Exaggerate Full Lip Color Liner in Red Diva 024…that’s a mouth full.
This is an amazing two in 1 products! You can line your lips then fill them in with the same product. Take a look…
- 024 Red Diva is another blue toned red lip liner/lipstick. This formula is MATTTTTTE, long lasting and pigmented. This product will make your teeth appear whiter.
I know this isn’t a classic red lipstick more of a dusty rose… I added this one in for those who don’t like red because it can be too vibrant for some people. When the sun hits this color just right it looks like a blush of red on the lips. If you knew me two years ago…you wouldn’t catch me dead wearing red lipstick. Until one beautiful day I decided to give different shades a try… Will you?
Nyx Cosmetics Lingerie in Exotic…this freaking color.
LIPLI12 Exotic is like all shades of lipstick it can look different on various complexions. The daylight makes this lipstick look a muted red. The picture above shows it looking more like a dusty rose. The texture is a mousse formula that is very comfortable. Longevity can be 6 or more hours but this will breakdown when you eat oily foods. I adore this soft reddish color.
Let’s wrap things up! Remember one shade of red may look good on one person but you may not like it on yourself. Why is that??? First off you need to know the undertone in your skin. Are you cool? Are you warm? Are you neutral? Getting colored matched at a make-up counter is one of the easiest ways to find out the undertone in your complexion. For example: if you tan easily then most likely you are a warm soul or if you sunburn easily then you may be a cool soul. If you want to know more info on that topic, then please let me know in the comments. This is my opinion, photos and experience with these products. I am not getting paid to write or review these items. I have bought all of these products with my own money. Until next time!!
