Lipstick Colour for a Winter?

10 replies

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 17/01/2016 19:03

Can anyone give any pointers on a lip colour that's suitable for someone who suits Deep Winter colours please?

My last purchase was L'Oreal Cassis Passion (which I love but it is bold for daytime).

DH is going travelling and has asked me to give him my make-up requests. I would appreciate your tips thanks.

I use a red with a blueish tone iyswim, rather than scarlet.
True red/pillar box is also good.
If you like pink then you could have dark like raspberry or hot pink can look good too.
I have worn brown too, but more of a natural than chocolate or deep coloured.

Not sure if this helps though.

I've been loving Mac Darkside. It's very very dark and quite vampy but I love it.

I love cassis passion. In that range I also love Velvet Robe, though I last ordered it from Amazon, as I couldn't find it in stores. It's a gorgeous wearable red. Mind you, I wear cassis most days, so maybe my everyday is different. Clinique grandest grape chubby stick is lovely too. Mac plumful is quite subtle . For me it's a my lips but better type lipstick. Unfortunately I can never find it as dd1 keeps laying her thieving little mitts on it. Bastarding teenager.

But if your husband is buying you'll want something a bit more special I guess. Estée Lauder red ego is lovely. I think the rage is colour envy, but don't hold me to that.

I love Nars Olivia which is a dark garnet red, been looking for this sort of color for ages

I second Estee Lauder Red Ego and although Dominant in the same range.

Thanks for Mac plumful tip mimi

Yes mimi, it looks lovely and would be good for daytime too.

L'oreal Milday is a clear violet colour , it's my 'my lips but better ' everyday colour. It might not be dark enough for you if you are a deep .
