Seeing Red

I am a firm believer in red lips. You will very rarely see me without a shade of red on. It dresses up any outfit & just makes you feel sassy! There are so many different shades of red out there that every woman can find the perfect shade that fits their skin color & personality. I have a few different types & shades of red that I alternate through all of the time & would highly recommend, here they are: (clockwise starting at the top)

  1. Rimmel (Bordeaux) -This is a wine colored lipstick & will match beautifully with your fall wardrobe pieces. If you are not up to rocking a fire engine red just yet then this is the color for you - a shade of red with personality but not over the top. Tip: don't do numerous coats (unless playing a vampire for halloween) because it becomes really dark each coat you apply.
  2. Origins (Hot Date) - The perfect red lip gloss. Some days you want something fast, easy & on-the-go & this is the perfect gloss for that. Still gives you the beautiful pop of color but goes on super easy & smells like peppermint
  3. Urban Decay (69) - Red with a hunt of orange. This color works best for my skin tone during the summer when I have a wee bit of a tan. The color lasts for hours!
  4. Aveda (Ginger Lily) - This is my holiday time go-to. It is a darker red then the origins gloss & it has a sparkly finish to it! Very festive with easy application.
  5. Maybelline (Red Revival 645) - Probably one of the most popular reds on the market. It is your standard fire engine red lipstick that has a glossy finish. Its a staple in my make-up bag & you can't go wrong with this baby.
  6. Mac (Russian Red) - My Personal Favorite! 5 out of 7 days a week this is the color you will see me wearing. I love it because it is a matte finish & that always looks super polished to me. It last for hours & one good coat is all you need. I never leave home without it :)
Those are my favorites! Do you have a lip color or brand you swear by??

  2. I'm normally scared of dark lips on me. But at the Private Edition event I got a sheer mulberry, which worked with my light hair. So excited to try others. Which red do you think is great for girls with lighter hair?
