Re: Red lipstick
I'm officially in love with Port Red and Ladybug. Glam isn't my fave but it's there....damn I need to learn to love mattes. LMD84 never show me pics of reds again...or at least until I'm bored with the ones I have. xD I'm finally considering Love Alert d/g now that it will be harder to find....just my luck.
NW25 with no base if anyone needs the info. =)

Re: Red lipstick
The only Red lipstick that I own is Kanga Rouge. I love it and it's my first Amplified Creme lipstick finish. I would love to own more reds.

Re: Red lipstick
OMG do I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed resolutely red? Anybody got it? How deep is it? I love the look of it!!
I have a red fetish I think lol . Also what about Russian Red? I fancy it, but I'm not sure how strong it would be on my very pale skin. I like MAC red but it is very strong, even when blotted on my skintone.
Dita von teese anybody? http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:v...Von-Teese3.jpg sorry couldn't get image to show up properly. Also the pic in my avatar at the moment
What the heck is that colour? I love it on her!

Many thanks! 
Hey,

Russian Red is a really bold color; I think it will be even stronger than MAC Red.

Omg, thank you for the warning eeeeeeeeek.  Maybe a try before you buy kinda shade then?
I was drooling over yet more reds yesterday whilst out shopping  I have my eye on a Lancome one, l'absolu rouge or whatever they're called anyway its shade no 130 which is rouge desir.......gawd its love  It looks like more of an orangey red the woman had it on and she looked lovely in it.
What other brands of red do you all like? I'm feeling like branching out and want lots of ideas to try hehe

Re: Red lipstick
I think MAC makes some of the best red lipsticks out there.
Russian Red is gorgeous though, don't be intimidated by it. My only complain would be that it's too drying.
I think NARS and Chanel has some pretty decent red lippies too. But if you want something that is super duper bold and in-your-face unapologetic RED color, go with MAC!

Re: Red lipstick
Not sure if anyone recommended this yet, but NARS Red Lizard is drop dead gorgeous.  It's perfect for that classy, vintage pout!!

Re: Red lipstick
From the drugstore. Artdeco.
Artdecos Perfect Color Listick # 13.03, called Poppy Red. There is a gloss in the same shade as well; Lip Brilliance # 195.06, it is a cream. No shimmer nor glitter.

Re: Red lipstick
Revlon matte lipsticks.. nos. 007 or 006 -- both Reds, both spectacular. I think no. 006 In the Red, or vv..lol, is more blue based. I got mine for $ 5.99 and some got BOGOs.

Re: Super Bright MAC Red Lipstick
Try Ruby Woo, it's more blue based and is a brighter, more retro red

Re: Super Bright MAC Red Lipstick
I love MAC Red. Ruby Woo is gorgeous, but I simply CANNOT wear matte lipsticks. MAC Red is a Satin, and really very close to Ruby Woo (MAC Red is also a bright bluish red), so I'd say that it depends on what formula you prefer.
