I'm C7/NC42-45 and I like Diva... though I'm not big on reds. I'm more of a neutral/pinky kinda person

moved to recs..
i'm a C6 in SF or NC45 in SFF and my favorite reds are Dubonnet, Diva, Russian Red, V-Red l/g, Viva Glam I, Ladybug, Fanplastico lacquer, Tassle, Mac red, and New York Apple
(phew that was long) I honestly think you can make any red work depending on how you use it.. I.E with rockocco red that is super blue based, I used cushy l/l, brick lipliner on top of cushy, then the rockocco l/s and it's so pretty.. For me, the key is lining with a neutral brown liner as close to your skincolor, going over it with a complementary red liner THEN putting on the red l/s u think u can't wear
I wear any red I want to wear

Cool I'll have to remember that trick I've never tried my Cushy liner with a red liner. I use UD Gash pencil I don't know how that compares to MAC Brick but Gash works great on it's own w/a dab of clear lipglass for a red lip looks also

well the thing is, u can use any color on top of a natural liner.. for me, i use cushy with EVERYTHING.. seriously.. it's my favorite natural color liner ever for my coloring! even moreso than spice or whirl (which i also adore! putting brick on top in this case, makes the red less blue (does that make sense) and tones it so it will work well for me

This is so weird. I tried rockocco a few days ago and it came out orangey on me. I am c7/nc45. The MA used nightmoth as a liner and told me that the purple would take away from the orange and make it more blue based. Indeed afterwards, it was pretty. The reds that i wear are pure vanity l/g and the viva glams

Yah Rockocco is more of a yellow red on me. I'm an NC42. I wear it w/ Mahogany l/l and it turns out more of a deep warmer red than cool blue red. Funny how you can change the tone of l/s just by pairing it different liners or gloss's!

I use Burgundy Lip Liner, Hot Tahiti lipstick, and Venetian Lustreglass
that's what it looks like.
I also use Spice lip pencil, Lady Bug lipstick and Venetian lustreglass, it comes off more glossy and sheer. I haven't yet ventured into full on red lips.
BTW-Ceelovejay, do you ever post on the ezboard.com forums? I used to lurk at one a loooong time ago, it was a general cosmetics board and i think i've seen your name pop up there. or perhaps a different one.

Haha, this is funny because I have this weird deja vu feeling when I see the name "Ceelovejay" on specktra, because I know I've seen it somewhere else before, too! On ezboard too, I believe, although I'm not sure which one as I post on a lot of them.

hehe yeah it's not like it's a common s/n or anything. there's like 400 varations of MAC Whore here lol i always confuse them, but not this one, i just can't remember the name of the board. i stopped visiting because i didn't have the ezsupport whatever to block the pop ups and stuff and i didn't wanna pay for it. but it was a cosmetics board, not as big as specktra though.
