Describe your favourite lipstick

I love lipsticks. My current favourite is probably MAC crosswires which is quite a bright corally pink. I also love Lancome Rose The which is a lovely nude that suits my pale skin.

What are your favourites? Looking for inspiration :)

Current favourite is Mac Captive, which comes out as a sort of plummy nude on me. In fact, it looks how I expected Mac Mehr to look, but that one is just brown on me!

Mine is MAC Mehr.

It's a brilliantly useful soft, matt dusky rose/plum, with a hint of brown in it but not too much. It's so versatile and goes with everything.

yes, plummy-nude is the phrase I was looking for too!

I am quite jealous Mardle, because now I still have to find a lipstick that looks how I expected Captive to look! I think I have weirdly pigmented lips, or maybe very acidic/alkaline ones!

Mac Ruby Woo is my all time, it's a super matte true red. Just perfect.

My current favourite is clarins Joli rouge brilliant in pink magnolia (15)

I first saw it on a lisa eldridge video. Lovely sheer pink - perfect for spring.

I wear Rimmel Kate 111, Kiss of Life for every day though. The colour is almost indistinguishable from Ruby Woo, it's matte but not as matte and a good bit cheaper.

Is Mehr like Fast Play? Love that one. Also loving Clinique chubby stick in heaping hazelnut at the moment too.

I've never tried a MAC red.

Kiko Temptress in 01 (glossy nude)

Avon Pure Matte (seriously as good as MAC or Bobby Brown) in au naturale (matte dark nude) or coral.

I'm going through a cheeky nudey phase.

According to Google images, Fast Play is more similar to Twig than Mehr. More brown, rather than the pink tones of Mehr (except on me, apparently )

Maybe I would prefer Mehr if that's the case. I was hoping Fast Play would look a bit more pink on me.

Have they stopped making Mehr? I've just looked on their website and it's not on there. Confused

Good job i've got two.

Mac Mehr over here too. Very nice pink on me. Captive was too dark for me but then again I have been told I have a lot of blue undertone my lips so that changes the shade.

Lndummy you must have very white terth.
I find orange and peachy lipsticks really suit my colouring but make my teeth look very yellow Smile

MAC Russian Red. Bit darker than Ruby Woo and suits my skin tone perfectly.

Me too maggie - I have one in every handbag and one in each makeup bag, so I am never caught without it!

I also really like the M&S Autograph lip crayon that came with the advent calendar last year, it's a pale beigey gold, I've got two of them.
