Deep Red Lipstick

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

So I am looking for a very deep, very dark and matte lipstick - very similar to the one the model in this picture is wearing. Any recommendations?

[NotTodaySatan]

NARS Deep Aubergine

MAC Dark Side

NYC Mahogany

Wet n Wild Cherry Bomb

To be honest I'd consider other finishes as well as matte as the combo of dark colour + matte finish can often go patchy easily and be unflattering

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

It has to be matte. I only like deep colours in a matte finish with my skin. I have plenty of other dark lipsticks with a matte finish but just can't find the perfect red. Will google those now thank you.

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

Argh the NYC would be perfect if it was matte. The others aren't dark enough. At the moment I am layering MAC Ruby Woo on top of MAC Sin and its giving the sort of colour I want but when I need to top it up its not perfect.

[NotTodaySatan]

Found a promising one.

Melt Cosmetics 6Six6.

I've gone to checkout and it looks like they ship to the UK!

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

Oh yes thats what I am after!! I'd prefer more matte but would compromise as that colour is amaze!!!

Thanks

Try Topshop, great (Mac) quality lipsticks.
I have Curious in the Lip Ombré which I bought for the deep berry red (will probably never use the lilac), it's a great Matt lipstick that goes on like a stain so doesn't bleed or eat off. Plus it doesn't transfer to wine glasses.

They do a v.dark red in a traditional 'stick' as well

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

Thanks will try that

That lipstick is Mac Rocker, definitely (I have it and wore it today with a same colour dress to a do). It's matte but not drying either.

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

Mac Rocker isn't that dark.

A google search is suggesting these four - not all matte but not too wet looking so I might get away with it. Can I find any of them though... No!

[SorrelForbes]

Lime Crime do a very matte range called Velvetines and I think there's one in that shade. www.limecrime.com/velvetines/

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

They are liquid lipsticks though and I am not a fan of those.

We had this last year and the collection 2000 were really good

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

Can you find the thread? I can't search for some reason

[BrendaandEddie]

Rereading I think maybe these were too much of a red. I was really surprised by the Estee Lauder new range of lip potion colours. Some of them were really dark dark plum/purple

[SorrelForbes]

They are liquid but they dry almost immediately to a solid, matte finish. Definitely the most matte of any I've tried.

[WhyDoesGastonBark]

But they don't last as well as a normal matte lipstick and crumble (in my experience anyway).

Will try EL too then

[BrendaandEddie]

it might be worth looking at brands that cater for black women too

mac film noir looks good

Try the revlon matte lip crayon in Standout -not incredibly dark but v nice shade and non-drying.

[FunTransplant]

Try MAC Sin, I'm pretty sure it's a matte.

Lipstick Queen do a range called Bête Noir which are a deep berry/burgundy. Available at Space NK

OP: I'm looking for this exact colour lipstick.

MN: Try these lipsticks that are nothing like the one in the photo.



Gaston What about NARS Train Bleu? It's matte and when I googled it, the photo from your OP came up.
