As most of my girl
friends could tell you I'm not one for wearing a lot of makeup or really any at
all. But recently I have become a fan of red lipstick. There's just something
about it. It's fun to make the loud statement and let those lips pop!
And the best part
about red lipstick? True red looks great on any skin tone! So you don't have to
worry about finding the right shade, just go for RED. But then the problem
becomes, which brand and what type of lipstick do you get?
Lucky for you I made
the investment and searched high and low for the best lipstick out there! I've
found three that are must haves!
Revlon Colorburst (Color: Matte Balm - Striking and
Lacquer Balm - Provocatuer)
This is my #1 lip color choice. It combines the best of all worlds. Deep pigment of lipstick with the glossy texture, shine of lip gloss and comfort of chapstick! I have it in two shades listed above. This lip color is easy to put on quickly and is medium-wear. You will need to reapply it after eating a big meal or half way through the day. This is what I like to wear to the office.
CoverGirl Outlast Lipcolor (Color: Ever Red-dy)
This is the best long-wear lipcolor out there. You can put this on in the morning and the pigment stays all day. You can just use the gloss stick to keep your lips feeling soft and glossy. It's a bit hard to get off so I just use some of my homemade lotion (the oil dissolves the pigment) and wipe it off. This also means you need to take your time applying it so you don't go off your lips as it will be hard to fix. This is great for a long day at the office that transitions to an evening out or to an event where you are eating.
Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color (Color: Scarlet)
This is the one that really POPS. It is definitely a heavy pigmented lipgloss but will come off easily if you eat or drink. It would be good for an evening night out or event but not all day long at the office.
So ladies, what do you think? Do you like red lipstick?
