What's your 'everyday' lipstick shade?

I've just watched a YouTube video where the person who made it was scathing about bright pink lipstick, and said no one wears it. But I do! Grin Bright blue based pink is my go to lipstick, it works so well with my colouring (dark brown hair, pale skin, hazel eyes) and brightens everything up. When a new range of lipsticks appears I make a beeline for the bright pink one, and it normally ends up coming home with me obsessed. So now I'm wondering what everyone else wears?

None. I never wear any makeup at all.
THANKS FOR THAT

Ididnthearanything · 29/03/2018 11:48

Pale, blue eyes and blonde here.
L'Oreal Bois de Rose
Mac Syrup, or Mehr sometimes
Mac Brave - not really a nude as such but a nice pink. It's matt and has great staying power but I need a bit of gloss over it. My lips ain't what they used to be!
Love these threads for new choice ideas!

Melon! Grin

Grin Sapphire Maybe! I'm wearing a brighter pink today because of this thread. Feels quite uplifting. It's a bright Spring day so I wanted something cheering and fresh. I've gone slightly retro with Revlon Cherries in the Snow blotted out a bit.

notaneasyjourney · 29/03/2018 14:57

Mac Hue.

3stonedown · 29/03/2018 15:27

Dior Kiss and I can't remember the name of the other but its another Dior thats a bit darker (helpful)

Mammysin · 29/03/2018 15:32

Brown hair, pale freckled skin blue eyes. NYX Dublin looks fab, today Mac Ruby Woo gave me a lift 😁

SapphireSeptember · 29/03/2018 15:43

EnidButton Oh, I like Cherries in the Snow! Fuchsia Fusion and Fuchsia Shock (bright, but sheerer than the former) are ones by Revlon that I like too. Smile (As was Colorburst Fuchsia, but they discontinued that range of lipsticks!)

Now are you the evil twin or am I? Wink

Laura Mercier- Kissed Lips (Pink-discontinued now I think) or Tangerine (a coral that I apply to the insides of my lips and almost let ombré outwards)

MelonKim Why do people post on threads they have no interest in?

Mac Russian Red. I feel super confident with it on- it's bold and unapologetically in your face. But only when I have classes at the hospital or need an extra boost.

If it's just meeting up with someone- Mac Red in Satin.

Rawesome6 · 29/03/2018 16:09

MAC Cockney - sheer red with v v v v slight gold shimmer through it

EnidButton · 29/03/2018 16:22

Sapphire Depends on the time of the month with me. Grin I'm a good twin atm.

Mammysin · 29/03/2018 17:39

Mine is Bobbi Brown Blue Raspberry. A makeup artist picked it for me. I always had trouble finding the right shade before.

Caroline680 · 29/03/2018 18:30

so i bought the MAc syrup one
Its nice

SapphireSeptember · 29/03/2018 23:11

EnidButton I'm the evil twin then! Grin Excellent, I shall wear all black and skulk about scaring small children. (I'm nice really.)

No 7 nude lip liner all over lips then Nivea hint of red lip salve over the top.

ColdWaterMusic · 29/03/2018 23:19

Two for me - either Bobbi Brown Blue Raspberry or Charlotte Tilbury Stoned Rose. Love the colour and staying power of Stoned Rose but do find it quite drying.

MsGameandWatching · 29/03/2018 23:21

CO Bigelow Vanilla Mint 2X lip shine.

I don't like the feel of lipstick and my lips are a nice pink anyway. This gives them a lovely, not too shiney glow. I only used to be able to get in the US and would buy ten tubes whenever I went - not often but I have found a stockist here in the UK now.

SukiTheDog · 31/03/2018 10:55

So, for anyone watching bbc’s Keeping Faith, anyone any thoughts on what this shade she wears might be? Thanks

Revlon Primrose is a similar colour, but it probably isn't the exact one she's wearing.
