Ladies - red lipstick
Jump to: Newest in thread
I aimed this at the ladies and then realised there are probably a whole array of guys out there who could answer
I need a red lipstick but I find they tend to make my teeth look yellow even although they aren't..
Any suggestions as to what shade? I ideally wanted a slut red lipstick (no I am not sure Boots sell that shade either)
any suggestions Oh experts... |

Try different reds. The orange toned reds may make your teeth look yellow but the blue reds may make them look brighter. I find putting on a neutral base-coat lipstick first also helps to keep the red tone as true to the lipstick as possible. |

as a qualified make up artist and beautician  I can tell you, you're just wearing the wrong shade of red, EVERYONE can wear red lippy, just need the right shade for your complexion/colouring, go to your local make up counter and get them to match you!  |

I can't describe it except to say when you look at two reds side by side you will see some have more of a yellow/orange base to them and others have a blue/purple base to them. |

Go to one of the make up counters and ask them to put it on you... I went to Chanel and had them do it and it looked great! I can't really pull it off now I've changed from dark hair though, as my hair is the same colour as the red lipstick!  |

"Yes number 3 if you get the gosh one. 540 if you get the maybelline one! X"
I was just about to suggest going for number 7, it's just 4 to the right of number 3; or you could go for the 539 from maybeitslipstick, which is just next to the 540.
If you cannot get any of those, I'd suggest a nice red one....
Hope that helps |

boots, debehams, anywhere like that, all the ladies on the counters should be qualified make up artists and should know their stuff |

Can't remember the shade number, however, my "play" lippy is Colour/Super-stay by Maybelline, and it is a blue-red.
Very hard wearing, kiss and BJ proof!  |

Rimmel Kate moss in number 01 is a great blue undertone red lipstick if you're on a budget. If you have money to spare, chanel does lots of different shades of red that is lush. Or an intermediate between the two budget would be something from MAC, the make up artist there can probably help you out with the colours. I've heard good things about Russian red or ruby woo by MAC.
Have fun! |

I don't actually mind paying a bit for it....I suspect I will have it for a while...Putting on your lippy always boosts confidence but red lippy is something else....A woman who wears red lippy is demonstrating her confidence ..I think... |

Some ladies had asked for advice in the past about BJ proof lippy, and I remembered the recommendations, that's all.  |

Diverse shade, Kiss-proof, food/drink-proof and blowjob-proof.

True! Love a good red lipstick! Although, kissing OH is a bit of a problem with red lips.. Which is why I tend to stick to other colours.. Red lipstick is when I feel like smothering him with red.. Lol |

"Don't forget to exfoliate your lips either. That always helps.
My lips are exfoliated and always balmed....well after all who wants to kiss crusty lips lol..."
I agree but I do see women with lipstick on and it looks lumpy. Not a good look. |

Elizabeth Arden do a good one (It can become a lip stain after a while, so doesn't just disappear after one snog), the shade is called Red Diamond, and I love it for a night out (not an everyday lipstick) It's not a bright red, but it has subtle undertones x |

"I need to find a decent red lippy..... "
Get to Boots and take your time. she tried loads on me until we got the right one...It was time well spent...I have spent years trying to find the right one..
she also gave me some great make up tips too.....Put a bit of balm UNDER the lippy to keep your lips moist..I have always put it on top
My lips feel great which is very unusual for me with lipstick...
Oh and I found a new perfume too lol |
