Hey guys! I'm desperate to find some reds that look good on me. I'm looking to find a good bright red for a pin-up kind of look, and a darker one for fall.

I've never really pulled off the red lips, I think because I can't find a shade appropriate for my skin and hair!

Thank you very much!

Oh, and a picture to help-

a blue red MAC Russian.. the obvious one.
an orangy red... YSL #131
a medium red.. Revlon #007 or MAC Brave Red
a purpley red.. YSL #120 (fuschia tinge)
a browny red... MAC Chili (my fav has some orange in it) a browny neutral red.. Bobbi Brown Burnt Red (corraly red neutral tho).

Good luck.. you should look great in any of them!

Hi! First I'd like to say that you are GORGEOUSSS!!

& secondly, my favorite go-to red lipstick is MAC's Dark Side--it's a deeper red/almost burgundy. it's beautiful.

a good RED RED is MAC's Russian Red. More Coral/Orangey undertones

I think you could pull em off =)

You're gorgeous! I think you'd look hot in the pin-up look. For that, I'd recommend Ruby Woo. I went to the MAC counter with every intention of purchasing Russian Red, but the MA had my try on Ruby Woo instead, and I was sold! Lovely, lovely color.

I'm in between NW25 and 30. I went in to get Russian Red as well but put on Ruby Woo and fell in love! I def recommend Ruby Woo for pinup look.

My fall red is So Scarlet but that was LE so if you can't find it try Dark Side

MAC Red...I love love LOVE that color...I prefer it over Russian Red only because RR is a matte, and I cannot stand the matte finish...it's much too drying for me.

Thank you so much ladies! I went with Ruby Woo, and I'm in love. I'm still looking for a darker fall color, should I try on Dark Side? Are there any other pretty ones?

If I were you, I'd go to a store and swatch a bunch of the recommended colors on your hand and then go out into natural light. See which ones "pop" on your skintone.

Revlon Red is a nice, true, bright and slightly warm red.
