Bright Red Lipstick.....

[cardoon]

Give me your best bright red lipstick recommendation please - long lasting and not too glossy.......

Recent convert to lipstick after buying some Lipcote - am currently switching between Maybelline Always Plum and now got Revlon Really Red, very nice creamy texture, but matte-ish I think. Very fifties bombshell with pale eyeshadow and black eyeliner.

I like the look of Lime Crime Suedeberry upthread....Does anyone have any recommendations for a brick-y red - I am trying to match a colour that Zooey Deschanel wears in New Girl a lot, it's red but a lighter, pink brick kind of red, not found on high street so presumably is Mac or something. I did read a bit about the products her make-up artist uses on the show but not for the latest series.

Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood very glamorous bright red Sali Hughes's favourite, apparently

I'm really pale/a difficult tone and anything too pinky looks terrible on me, and so far every single mac shade is too pinky. Revlon really red is the bluest I can wear - it's superb though, true red and can be slicked up with a clear lip gloss. If you need a decent tomato red, then dior 999 is good but quite slippy. Last - my perfect irreplaceable - is ellis faas 401. Good god it's red, but it also has a lovely finish. Good luck!

Cross parley-you sound a bit like me, I've debated Dior 999 several times at airports but I think maybe it was not pigmented enough. Will have to try really red-never heard of ellis faas-any big uk stockists? Have you tried mac lady danger or the bourjois ones? I find I can get away with hardly any other make up if I have red lippy on.

Impossible without seeing a pic; everyone has a different red they suit and hardly anyone suits the sort of Hollywood glamour red. I think Taylor Swift does it really well with slightly coral-ly reds and pinkish reds.

Any thoughts what Taylors reds might be Bigpaws?

Tried Dior 999 today but too dark for me.....

Funny thing is the Dior S/A was wearing it and it looked a great colour

Revlon butter lips in tutti fruti is ace, j can even wear it to work

I really like Estee Lauder Pure Colour Envy (what a mouthful) in Fierce. Lovely brick red that looks great on my very pale skin. The texture is semi-matte.

The EL one is quite spendy - I saved up my Advantage Points to buy it!

I wear a Rimmel Kate Moss one too - think it is 101 though

Another fan of EL Pure Color Envy -- I have Emotional which is a warm deep red that I would never have dreamed of wearing, but was persuaded to try by an orange woman, and lo and behold, really suits me. It's a great lipstick, highly pigmented with great depth of colour, but not drying at all, and doesn't stain the lips (and your cup/glass). Easy to apply and lasts very well. Spendy, but really worth it, IMO. There are quite a few very nice reds in the range.

MAC Ruby Woo makes my teeth look yellowy too. Found it too drying and didn't really stay put either.

I love Rimmel Provocalips in "Kiss me you fool" or similar. Really long lasting to the extent that it won't come off when taking make up off.

Someone asked for terracotta red upthread. Bourjois Rouge Edition 05 Brun Boheme is my current favourite for that.

evelynj ellis faas is in Liberty in London, and some Selfridges but not sure if all of them. I bought Dior 999 when feeling flush but generally use it over Revlon Really Red for shine. The Revlon is only 7.99!

Tried the EL today. Loved it-fierce is best for me. Added to wishlist!

Chanel Rouge Allure Passion

Mac Russian Red for me without a doubt.

Failing that, try Lipstick Queen. There's a red for everyone.

MAC Relentlessly Red is my favourite, wear it loads
Also have a few of the Rimmel Kate lipsticks - great colour but nowhere near as good on the staying power.

NARS Dragon Girl for me (I'm pale but suit cooler, less teeth-yellowing reds). It is amazing and stays put.

Besame old fashioned Hollywood style lipsticks vhlemporium.co.uk/product-category/makeup/lips/
Put it on carefully and it will stay put. Very glam packaging.

Boots No7 stay perfect pillarbox red, really long lasting.

evenlynj itsn't it lovely? I haven't worn it for a few weeks and you've inspired me to put it on again :)
