My mom (NC40-45) looks stunning in Russian Red. It's matte. I would also try Illamasqua's Ignite if you're looking to branch out. All of Illamasqua's basic lippies are matte. Lovvve themmm

Re: What's Your Fave Red lipstick for WOC?

My favourite classic red is MAC Red. It comes out very true on me, but it's described as being blue based.

Diva, Russian Red & Viva Glam I all look great.. but it really comes down to what kind of red you're after (brick, true, wine).

I used MAC Red here.. (winter / ~ NC 40-42/150)


And Chili here.. (summer ~ NW40/170)

Re: What's Your Fave Red lipstick for WOC?

Because I can't use MAC lipstuff, I had to find an alternative.....

My pick is..... Revlon Matte - In The Red

If you can find it Kanga Rouge (but MAC Red is a dead dupe for it). Also, MUFE No 205 is a favorite too .

I always get a ton of comments when I wear red lip stick. These are my faves:

- Port Red
- Ruby Woo
- and Chanel Rouge Allure Lacque in "Dragon". Best red ever.

Re: What's Your Fave Red lipstick for WOC?

Went in to MAC to purchase Ruby Woo and the MUA convinced me to buy Utter Fun for the summer. Looks pink but comes off red on my lips. I'll have to try it over some concealer. I'm still going to get Ruby Woo.

I'm not the biggest fan of lipstick colors like plums and pinks because they look weird on me, but I do adore Nudes/Browns/Reds. But my favorites are these:

Maybelline's Color Sensational lip stick in these shades (look below):
635 Very Cherry
645 Red Revival
625 Are You Red-dy

For MAC I would say Russian Red.
Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipstick in Ms.Right. (I might be wrong if this lipstick isn't called that anymore.)

I have mixed feeling for the orange-reds because on camera they're really not that pretty on a 6 MP or below digital camera. But when there on a high MP camera like 8 MP and up they come out really nice in my opinion.

Re: What's Your Fave Red lipstick for WOC?

ruby woo!!! i have mac red also but ruby woo looks better on me. i was scared of red lips. i picked the mac red but mac mua said with my coloring, ruby woo would be a hit and she was right. she said i just wasn't used to seeing red on my lips.

i apply lip balm first. then after i put the rest of my makeup on, i blot the lip balm, line lips and use ruby woo. since it's a matte color, your lips have to be moisturized or any little bit of dryness/cracks shows.

Ruby Woo is great, but it tends to be a bit drying IMO. I love Dubonnet on all skin tones and shades!

Re: What's Your Fave Red lipstick for WOC?

My favorite red lipstick of all times is a cheap, long lasting well pigmented matte true red. It's Revlon matte in Really Red. I can't recommend this one enough! I don't have pictures of myself wearing it but for 8$ you really should give it a go and there are plenty of blogs with pictures if you google it. It isn't drying at all and easy to apply straight from the tube. You can also make it appear darker if you fill in your lips with a dark lip liner, so it's very versatile.

I also like MAC's LE's Burnin' and So Scarlet. Not as Blue-Red as Scarlet Empress, but still amazing! Check your CCO for those if you can. That is where I got mine.

MAC red is a good one too. I have to work with that one more though. I usually use Current or Nightmoth liners with it. Clear Lip Glass on top.

Re: What's Your Fave Red lipstick for WOC?

Ruby Woo is good, it's a matte. If you think it comes on too strong or bright you can use currant lip liner (which is a berry color) and it will tone down the red. I use a little of clear glass over Ruby Woo because it's matte and very dry on my lips.
