Which red lipstick?

[Pinkvici22]

Following on from the red lippy at work thread...

Any suggestions for a red lipstick - I'm yellow toned, almost olive skinned, very dark, almost black hair, hazel eyes.

I really fancy the look of MAC relentlessly red which looks slightly pink toned.

Please tell me your favourites that will suit my colouring!

Ps I know the ideal would be to go into MAC or a big department store but I really don't have time at the moment.

I have very similar colouring and I wear Revlon Colourburst in Femme Fatale. It looks alike a fat shiny pencil.

Though on second look it is slightly pinkish (rather than tomato orange).

Great thanks king I'll take a look. I generally prefer the pencil type lipsticks (although usually pinky nude colours).

Does it last?

MAC Relentlessly Red is indeed an extremely pink toned red. It's a stunning colour and would probably suit everyone. Sadly the formula is shocking - extremely drying and i find it makes my lips look flaky by afternoon. I have to wear it with a lip balm underneath

Oh no Lotta - how much do you need to reapply if you were a balm under it? I love the look of it but hate a drying lipstick

If you're looking for a pink toned red, MAC Red might suit - it's one of the satins so not drying, but still stays on really well. (I usually like a matte lipstick but do rate this one.)

I probably reapply MAC RR a couple of times a day. I adore the colour so I don't mind sacrificing the matte effect by adding lip balm

Revlon Fire and Ice might also be a great colour for you. Its a bright red that has both pink and coral tones. Cream finish and not drying at all. I love it

Mac Ruby Woo is lovely!

If it's still made, Maybelline's Hollywood Red is a fairly gentle pink-brick red that works on most people as well as being both cheap and not too drying.

Maybelline matte siren in Scarlett. It's my fave in the world

MAC Ruby Woo suits everyone. I'm a big fan of their Lady Danger too. It's got an orange hint.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

MAC ruby woo diehard here too
