Struggling to find a red with blue undertones like this one...

for under £10.

Can anyone help? It needs to be really blue to suit my colouring I think (mid-dark town hair, blue eyes, fair skin which more often than not looks very washed out).

Anyone help?

Maybe check out this Lisa Eldridge video on red lipstick: www.lisaeldridge.com/video/25389/ultimate-guide-to-red-lips/#.VV2wdmAeKCQ

She talks about blue reds from 3:40 onwards.

The ones I have - I really don't have any warm toned reds:

1: Clinique Pop in 08 Cherry Pop
2: Mac Ronnie Red (very similar to Ruby Woo), discontinued
3: Mac Absolute Power (very similar to Ruby Woo), discontinued
4: Revlon Colorburst in 250 Standout
5: Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in 350 Vengeful Red
6: Guerlain KissKiss in 321 Red Passion

Hopefully this will give you some idea of how some of the blue toned reds look compared to each other.

Ruby Woo is more matte than the two Mac lipsticks I have - it's a retro matte formula where my two are the matte formula. The retro matte formula is quite nice, but it is very drying.

Another really nice red is Inglot lip pencil in 21 - www.inglotuk.com/Lipliner-AMC_Lip_Pencil_Matte.html
It's £11. It's less blue toned than the other lipsticks (but it is not a warm red), but it looks amazing on.
