Do you ever wear red lipstick?

[blueflowerpetals]

i can’t find one shade I actually like

I think Mac’s Ruby Woo is beautiful

Edited to say that I haven’t reached for it in years though! Some people can really pull it off and I think blondes tend to wear it without getting so much of a reaction, iyswim? I have dark hair, so paired with a full face of makeup and red lips it tends to look a bit too much.

Plus one to Mac ruby woo - it’s long lasting too.

came to say either Mac ruby woo (but other posters beat me to it) or Russian red, which is a bit more cool toned but very similar so depends which suits you more.

Another vote for Mac Ruby woo, I go for the Mac Maximal as it’s matt but much easier to apply than the original

yes - Mac Viva Heart (was Viva Glam I). It's sort of a vintagey red - deeper and softer than Ruby Woo, and IMO easier to wear for that.

Always! Various shades of red but always red. I'm nearly 58 and will continue to wear it. I don't give a flying fanny fuck what people think.

Every day when I’m not at work! My favourites are ‘Pop’ and ‘Fire’ by Victoria Beckham. So many red lipsticks have too much pink in them for me.

It may be worth doing some colour-analysis and research on what colour palette complements your skin tone. Those with a cooler over/undertone may suit different types of red to those with warm over/undertones.

I love an orangey red on holiday when I have a bit of a tan. I also love a true red lip with a minimal make up face, very Amanda De Cadenet in the
90’s

There was a ‘two for one’ offer on or something in boots and I picked up a red lippy by mistake. It’s ok, but it doesn’t really suit me much. It is quite dark though ! Red is a tough colour to wear.

Ruby woo is too drying for me. I need a warmer shade anyway, I know it's supposedly the neutral, "suits everyone" red but it doesn't really work on me. I'm just a bit too warm toned, I think. I need an orangey/rusty red. NARS red square (tragically discontinued) / MAC Lady Danger (great colour but v drying) / Lisa Eldridge Velvet Dragon are my go to brights. MAC Chili / MAC Warm Teddy (bit darker and loads warmer than classic Teddy which makes me look dead). Warm Teddy is more of a brown / tawny though. Mine are definitely more on the orange/copper end of the spectrum though, as it works best with my colouring.

I have tried so many shades but red always makes me look like I have a massive clown mouth. I wish I could pull it off.

I like an orangey red colour.

I am very pale and red lipstick makes me look dead

The only one I can pull off is Revlon Rich Girl Red. It is sheer, build able and has warm undertones.

I like lost cherry by Charlotte Tilbury. Much less drying than Mac as well

Always! I have lots of different tones and depth of coverage depending on my mood.

Yes but not anymore with regret!

My dream is to be that person who always has red lipstick on, I love it! I used to and never got back into the habit after COVID and now I feel too self conscious to suddenly start wearing such a statement look. It makes me feel so happy and it's a fun look IMO!

Dior "Lucky" is my absolute favorite! Has a tint of pink to it, it's gorgeous 😍
