Mac lady danger, its perfect, nice consistency too, I so wear Ruby woo but find it very drying

twosoups1972 · 11/03/2020 22:11

How do you know what sort of red suites you? I have no clue! I have dark hair and eyes, and pale skin. Any suggestions?

Layoverlife · 11/03/2020 22:26

@twosoups1972 it's something I've always wanted help in 😭 Whenever I see red lipstick worn by other people I always wish I could find the perfect red for me to, I would love to own a red lipstick.

xmaskitkat1967 · 12/03/2020 10:54

thanks Judy - in that case i am sure i have something that would work. (Def can't wear a red without a liner).

@Layoverlife @twosoups1972 The beauty of Dior 999 is that it suits literally every skin type. It was designed to be a completely neutral red.

GinaCarbonara · 12/03/2020 16:36

Lisa Eldridge velvet ribbon and velvet jazz. Unmatched for staying power!

DearTeddyRobinson · 12/03/2020 18:29

Popping on to ask is there a red like Ruby Woo that doesn't dry out your lips? That also stays put?

MiaowMix · 12/03/2020 18:37

Lipstick Queen "medieval' is a really nice sheer red. I only wear red lipstick when I have a tan, and this one looks great in summer.

ILLBESUZIE · 13/03/2020 09:07

Dior 999!!!! This truly is AMAZING!!!!!

Clinique do one in their 'Pop' range of lipsticks, I think it's called Cherry Pop. Love it.

twosoups1972 · 13/03/2020 09:24

Thank you, might try the Dior one. Is it expensive?

Layoverlife · 13/03/2020 10:30

@FloraGreysteel Thank you for the suggestion Smile I may have finally found my red! Whilst out shopping this weekend I will have a look at it and try it and hopefully purchase.

Alsohuman · 13/03/2020 10:56

Dior 999 and D&G Devil are my two favourites.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 13/03/2020 10:58

Mine is a Clinique powder one. A very clear red.

BovaryX · 13/03/2020 11:01

Charlotte by Nars, it's a beautiful burgundy

Thistlepicker · 13/03/2020 13:16

Well LadyDanger arrived this morning and it’s dreadfully orange! Am gutted!

Alsohuman · 13/03/2020 13:28

And the moral of that story is never buy a lipstick online unless it’s a replacement or you’ve already tried it. The same colour looks different on different people. My skin turns every red slightly bluer.

Thistlepicker · 13/03/2020 13:34

Well you lot must be a really strange colour then, because this is like a satsuma.

trulyconfuseddotcom · 13/03/2020 13:45

MAC Russian Red, the ultimate classic matte true red. Very striking and very good at staying in place.

Turns purple on me and dries my lips.

Mydogatemypurse · 13/03/2020 14:24

I fond russian red bluey and lady danger orange and makes my teeth look like piss. You definitely do need to try a red. But the truest neutral ones are Jeffrey star red rum and estee lauder bar red. I have dior 999 Its lovely but i don't find it as bright and clean as the other two. Try loreal for some good cheapies. Also I think mac will swap for you you know. Apparently maybelline do a suits everyone red but I havnt tried it.

Mydogatemypurse · 13/03/2020 14:26

I have a couple of reds I domt use I could sanitise and send to you. Give you a chance to try. Tbh you can have the dior i dont reach for it. X

Arschgeige · 13/03/2020 17:37

Bought Lisa Eldridge velvet ribbon a few weeks ago and I’m loving it

noodlezoodle · 13/03/2020 18:12

Fenty stunna seems to suit everyone, I'm not sure how.

Also Nars Cruella and Chanel Pirate.

Icecreamdiva · 13/03/2020 18:14

My current obsession is Ruby Woo with a top coat of Bobbi Brown Ruby Slippers. It’s a glittery sheer-ish red that was out as a limited edition at Christmas. Despite the glitter it is very moisturising so it offsets the drying effect of the Ruby Woo I loved it so much that when our local BB shop was selling off the last of the stock I bought three more.
