My Top 5 Favourite Red Lipsticks


Here our a selection of my top five red lipsticks! I think that every woman should have at least one red lipstick in their makeup bag! Red lipstick just never seems to date and gives off such a glamorous, sophisticated look! 



1. Rimmel Kate Moss Wine 107 
I find this colour to be quite different to other reds that I have, that's why I love it so much! This gorgeous colour is just so rich and the matte finish allows it stay on your lips all day long, whilst also leaving a beautiful, flawless matte finish. This colour is perfect for the autumn and especially if you have fair skin. Also the bargain price of £3.99 you can't go wrong! 





 2. Estee Lauder Pure Colour Nectarine 
I received this lipstick as a gift, which I absolutely adore! This colour lippy is more of a warm orangey red compared to the others. It has a very sorting approaching on the lips and is also long-lasting so therefore  there will be no need in keep re-applying like the majority of other lipsticks!




3. Flormar DC2
This red Flormar lipstick was one of my first red lipsticks, which I purchased over in Tenerife when visiting my Grandad and at only 3 euros I couldn't resist! It's such a beautiful gentle red, which is very long lasting as I can go hours and hours without re-applying. It's near enough all gone now so I am having to try and hold out until I go back over to Tenerife.


 

4. Mac Russian Red
The bold, retro looking red has a matte finish, with an intense blue undertone. I find that this lipstick goes on without any problems what so ever, as it goes on without my lips going parched. This is due to the lipstick containing natural oils which gives the lipstick a better texture, as well as allowing the lips to retain moisture.I find that that this lipstick gives off such a glamorous look and I am forever getting compliments on it!


5. Estee Lauder Carthy Red
I find this lipstick to be such a rich colour, with easy application! The texture is super light and extremely creamy, which allows the lipstick to just glide on to your lips without any trouble!

Mac Lipstick Review - Lovelorn





I have such a loving relationship with this lipstick! The Mac Lustre in Lovelorn is one of my favorite lippys at the moment! Yes they are expensive, but in reality, they are much cheaper than most high end lipsticks, and I'd rather buy one MAC lipstick and know that the quality is great, than two drugstore ones. It’s such a lovely, girly colour. Its a medium tone pink which helps give off a feminine approach, which I personally recommend with a neutral look as it allows the lipstick to just finish your makeup off. I find that this lipstick is a neutral, soft pink with a very moisturizing and smooth texture, I do have to re-apply it every few hours but not as much as I would with other lipsticks. I totally recommended this colour, especially for the summer as it helps lighten your face-up, also if you are used to wearing neutral colours and not so daring when it comes to more brighter, colourful lipsticks then I recommend that you try this mac lovelorn lipstick as it is still quite a soft, neutral colour, however still has some colour to it. 

Whats your favourite lipstick this summer? Let me know!

Mac Russian Red Lipstick - Review




I have many red lipsticks but the Mac Russian Red is one of my favourites and has become a staple in my makeup collection! The bold, retro looking red has a matte finish, with an intense blue undertone. I find that this lipstick goes on without any problems what so ever, as it goes on without my lips going parched. This is due to the lipstick containing natural oils which gives the lipstick a better texture, as well as allowing the lips to retain moisture. However I do find by applying a lip balm before, stops my lips from looking dry and flaky after applying the lipstick. Also I would recommend using a lipliner before applying the lipstick, as I find the lipstick last longer and gives a better finish! 

I find that that this lipstick gives off such a glamorous look and I am forever getting compliments on it! My favourite thing to wear this lipstick with is a simple plain, knee-lengh, black dress on a night out, as I find the boldness of the lipstick makes the outfit stand out, without trying too hard but still looking glamorous and sophisticated!

Russian Red is just one of those shades which will not date and I think that every female should have this shade or a smiler shade in their makeup collection! 

You can find this lipstick on the mac website for just £15 - (click here)

Let me know what you think of this lipstick? Also what other shade of Mac lipstick would you recommend?
