1940s red lipstick?

[omnishambles]

I know this is a bizarre ask but does anyone know any shade of red lipstick available now (any range) that is a good deep dark red (with blue tones) and not pink? I have bought one from Rimmel last week and one from Benefit yesterday both which were completely wrong and pink (even though the counter person swore blind that it was right).

I need it next week to complete a 40s outfit for Glasto...

Lipstick Queen and Mac both do lovely, vintage reds. Pricier than Rimmel but should do the job!!

Mac do one - its a matt one

Brilliant thanks - I knew MN would know... now will just have to find somewhere near the City that does a large MAC range...

The colour's called Russian Red - I love it!

There's a big MAC counter in House of Fraser at Monument tube.

I love the MAC shade woo Ruby Woo which is a lovely red with blue undertones.

Ruby Woo

Not sure where the extra woo came from!

Thanks both - will go to HOF at lunch tomorrow.

Clinique do one-very blue actually-i love it with my victory rolls!

Barry M number 4 is great

Do you know the name of it iMum?

Thanks Hurley.

This is so great - wish I'd bloody asked before buying the others tho - what an eejit I am...

will have a look!

its 211 vintage red

thanks will let you know what I come back with.

Am going to practice my victory rolls tonight - the rolls themselves are ok - round some device from claires accessories but my hair is so frizzy that it doesnt realy look right. Will persevere.

my top tip for flawless rolls-is curl your hair first!, then the hair behaves iself a bit more even if its just a quick pin curl on damp hair whilst it drys.

will try o find a pic of my victory roll.......

ok some pics up now on my profile-can mist hair with setting solution too then pin curl, dry then style into rolls and spray like mad!

OMG they look amazing how do you get it to curl to the side like that? My hair is already very curly - will go into ringlets if I curl it or let it dry.

The problem that is its too long at the front really and have lots of wispy bits that dont do anything grr am just hopeless at 'groomed' normally am all over festival hair as mine does california surf chick naturally - ie a bit blonde and a lot of mess...

ok so i part my hair on one side, comb lke crazy and gradually roll around my finger towards my head-let me find you a youtube link......... lisa freemont street is ace and has loads of helpful youtube vids. btw my hair is really long but it seems to work out!

good grief...that video is great...

I think maybe my hair is just too thin then - will try and try again - its probably going to get rained on anyway...

NARS Fire down below is fab.

another vote for Mac Russian Red, its the best blue toned matt red lipstick ever ever ever

ooh thanks both - am off down to HOF at 12...

Mac is your best bet. They have loads of shades of deep red, and several finished including heavy matt and creamy finishes.

crossed posts - sorry!

love how you're planning this ensemble for a festival btw - i usually tramp about in leggings, wellies and a vintage dress topped off with sunglasses, hat and a litre of gin

Well its a lovely colour - russian red but I do resemble a tranvestite clown in it - maybe it just needs a bit of getting used to.

It is quite pink on me as well - does it need lots of layers?
