Go red or go home.


I love a good red lip, so today I've put together some of my favourite red shades. I've got a mix of finishes and types of red so if you're also a red lip lover I suggest you stick around! 

Topshop Rio Rio is a very orange-y red shade which I got a lot of use out of through the summer months as I find for me it looks better on darker skin than my super pale casper complexion in the winter. The formula of this one reminds me a lot of the Mac satin finish as it isn't quite matte yet there is no glossiness. P2 Chilli lip liner is also a very orange toned red and I find it works beautifully under Rio rio. These lip liners are really lovely and they last for an amazing amount of time. Essence All you need is red is a fairly sheer shade which is very glossy on the lips. On first application it is quite sheer but it can be built up to pack a punch. The shade is a little bit pinker but it still has a more 
orange-y undertone. 

 The Look Beauty Cherry bomb lipstick and liner are both very pink reds, the formula of the lipstick is very creamy and again reminds me of Mac's satin finish. The liner is quite hard which is something I really like as in my opinion it makes it so much easier to use. As with most lip liners the lips have to be well prepared before use to avoid patchy application. L'oreal's Colour riche lipstick in Scarlett creme is also very pink toned but it also has a slight blue undertone. The formula of this is very creamy and it leaves a little bit more gloss and shine than Look Cherry bomb. Out of all the shades I have today this is the one that makes my teeth look very white. 


The last two lipsticks I have are shades that don't really fit into either the pink or the orange category. The OCC Lip tar in NSFW is what I would describe as a blood red. It is the most amazing deep vampy red and I get a lot of wear out of it in the winter as it looks amazing against super pale skin. The last lipstick for today is the Rimmel Lasting finish lipstick in 107. This is the most amazing matte berry red. The formula of this one is amazing as it is a really matte finish yet it feels very hydrating on the lips. This is another shade that I use a lot in the colder months.

  6. I love Rimmel's 107 lipstick but I never have the confidence to wear it as I'm always conscious of smearing it over my chin when I'm eating or that I'll look too "made up". But I'll dig it out and see if my opinion has changed :).
