I love reds and I adore Fresh Moroccan and Viva Glam I and I used to love Dubonnet before I lost it (sadness!) but I also love tassle and think it's interesting enough to deserve a vote.

When we did the polls, only permanent collection shades were eligible for votes, as limited edition colors come and go so much that the list would become outdated within a week or so. This allows us to have a list of the 'classics' as it were.

As far as the reds go, darker skinned women should generally go for brown based reds. Blue based tend to look...odd on darker complextions IMO. I have olive skin and I bought Love Nectar just recently and I love it. That's about all I can offer, though. Hope I helped :p

I'm NC50 and out of the nudes on that list I have (and wear religiously): Fresh Brew, High Tea and C-Thru (with a brown liner)

For the reds Viva Glam I is so pretty. I used that with my lips lined with Mahogany and Venetian lustreglass on top...soo purrty.
