Recommendations for this MAC tutorial red lip...

[i_luv_mac]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to replicate this look which is on Youtube here:

YouTube - M·A·C Senior Artist, Fatima, Creates The Perfect Red Lip

Its also on M·A·C Cosmetics | The Perfect Red Lip tutorial under Artistry and Artistry In Action. The website lists the colours to be a mixture of Dubonnet and Mattene in Orange Dare (I think this was LE).

Anyway I have Lady Danger and Redd lip pencil and I suppose I'll need to mix it with something to get a deeper red. I find Lady Danger too bright on my NC35 complexion anyway. I can't get to a store right now however Dubonnet seems a bit too dark and bordering on a pinkish red.

Can somebody make any suggestions on how to create this look? I don't suit pink or blue based reds at all.

Would MAC Chili work? If so what lip pencil would go with it?

Thanks

Ruby Woo is a nice color red.

I always thought Russian Red or Ruby Woo wouldnt really suit me. I've swatched them before and they looked wrong on my skintone.

Perhaps if mixed together it might be a different story. I've already ordered Chili hmm not heard of Spanish Red and I can't see it on the UK website either (just saw everybody's replies).

I'll bear this in mind for when I can get to a store.

Thanks for the replies everybody.
