Can anyone look at this picture and tell me a lipstick that matches the one she's wearing?

Try Kate Moss for Rimmel (matte collection) in I think 107. It is wonderful, but maybe more pink and less plummy. Depends on your skin tone I suppose.

Maybe Guerlain Rouge G in Gigolo or Tom Ford Bruised Plum?

BunnyLebowski · 14/12/2013 22:44

MAC Media?

Or MAC Hang Up?

I am currently obsessed with a Collection 2000 lipstick in a similar colour. It's called Prohibition and you can see it here

Ooh lots of ideas, thanks! Have never had a guerlain or tom ford one :)

Bunny I have Mac Media and it's one of my favourites - comes out more purpley plum on me though, and it's the redness of her colour that I like. Haven't tried Hang Up.

Prohibition looks gorgeous, might be a touch pinker than I'm after but am going to have to try...partly cos I love the name :)

I have the Kate Moss 107 btw OldRoan and love it, but it's a bit too pinky plum. A mixture of 107 and a proper red like Russian red would be ideal!

Mmmm I like the 'prohibition' one Bunny

I have a No7 Christmas one (Opulence) which is a deep wine but it is quite sheer.

Temptalia is so helpful, her blog's amazing. But it frustrates me because lipsticks look SO different on her than they do on me - Media looks rather brown and scary on her.

Nyx black cherry

Dilidali · 14/12/2013 23:08

try again

Flangeofmingetown · 14/12/2013 23:14

L'oreal cassis passion - but you will prob have to eBay as it's discontinued. Ditto Maybelline ruby star.

If you can find it- Revlon opulent garnet. That is a brilliant pinky red that is deep and plummy too.

Nyx black cherry looks like it could be a great match - lots of the reviews say it's very red leaning rather than plummy. Do you have it Sunday? What's the staying power like?

I have Revlon black cherry but that's very dark and purple/plum.

No idea about the lipstick elizabeth but it's gorgeous and would look fab on you.

SundaySimmons · 15/12/2013 07:44

I don't have nyx black cherry as yet, it's a shade I am getting with my next nyx order.

I love nyx, they do have staying power but don't dry out lips.

Although very cheap they are far superior to mac lipsticks which have gone down in quality in the last few years.

KosherBacon · 15/12/2013 07:50

Id post the picture on Makeupalley and ask them.

I love Mac lipsticks but I've tried all their dark, vampy shades and they're all too purple, which is not what I'm after. Am going to order black cherry, thanks!

Kosher I hadn't thought of that! I used to post on mua quite a bit but kind of forgot about their boards in the last few years. MN took over :)

I read their reviews of black cherry nyx. S

KosherBacon · 15/12/2013 09:20

Oops posted too soon! Some say it's brown toned, others blue based, some say warm others neutral and a few cool! So no idea!

KosherBacon · 15/12/2013 09:21

Oh the poos! Nobody has replied to your post. It's better to post in the evening as it's busier- it's the middle of the night in America.

HanneHolm · 15/12/2013 09:24

BunnyLebowski · 15/12/2013 09:44

NARS Terre de feu could also be an option??
