Hi everyone! Today's post is about the loves of my life. My top ten red lipsticks. Who said I have to only love one? There are so many out there, just waiting to be loved.
Front to back L-R MAC Ruby Woo (VERY matte), Illamasqua Maneater(Semi matte), MAC Russian Red (Matte but to me feels semi) , NARS Dragon Girl lip pencil(matte), Revlon Really Red(matte but feels semi to me), Illamasqua Box (semi matte), Kat Von D Underage red (matte), MAC Lady Danger(matte but feels semi), Wet n Wild 910(semi matte), And Revlon In the Red(matte but feels semi).
Swatches! NC40 skin.
They're in the same order as above. I'm happy this picture is pretty close to what the l/s look like IRL. As you can see, Ruby Woo is VERY matte. Just how I like it. I like 'em dry! This is my very favorite and my everyday go to l/s. The brightest red I've found so far. Maneater is like Ruby Woo but more pigmented and not as dry. The texture of the Illamasqua l/s is top quality. Very pigmented and very long lasting. Their reds are gorgeous. They know how to make a mean red lipstick. Even though they are matte they aren't drying at all. Goes on very thick so a little goes a long way. Russian red is like Ruby Woo but not as blue toned and not as dry. Dragon Girl is very matte but not drying, I don't know how they did it but they did! It's gorgeous and bright! Like I like it. Really red is very pigmented and hard to believe I paid less than $10 for it. Almost like Ruby Woo but not as bright. Great quality. Although It's matte I don't find it drying. It's really smooth and goes on creamy. Box is similar to Russian Red but more pigmented. Seriously, these puppies go on thick! The pigmentation is insane. In the ones I said were more like semi matte, you can actually see that sheen that makes them feel semi matte. I really like the texture of Under age red. It's a true matte that isn't drying. Great lasting power. Lady Danger is dangerously sexy!! Seriously, this one is hot! I'm very glad that the picture truly captured the actual color. As you can see It's a bright orange red. This one I wear with just eyeliner. It's bold on It's own! I LOVE WnW lipsticks. I can't believe this was only like $3. Not only do you get a lot of product, but the quality is amazing, so pigmented and long lasting. This red is bright and gorgeous. And last but not least, In the Red is a beautiful brick red. Great for anyone that doesn't like their reds as bright as I do. This is more of a sophisticated and classy red. Love the quality of this, It's really smooth and glides on. I have many back ups of this in case it ever gets discontinued. I never want to be without it! I hope this post was helpful! Sorry It was long but I tried to be as helpful as possible. :) What are some of your favorite reds? Thanks for reading!
Love,
Sonia
