Favourite Reds

You guys know how I feel about red lippies don't you?! I just can't get enough of them. If I can choose only one lip colour to wear for the rest of my life and that would be RED full stop. It just looks so flattering and so chic on all age groups and all skin tones. It can be worn on both day time and in the evening, casual days or formal events, red carpet, you name it so I thought I would show you my all time favourite red lip products, hope you like it.

There we go, I've got all different toned reds here to show you today, from drug store to highend, and they are all my favourite. Let's start with the 3 more pinky toned reds. The thing I like the most about these pinky red is that they make my teeth look whiter, and I tend to go towards them in spring and summer because of the pink under tone.

(left to right: Bite, Wjcon and Tarte. You probably can't tell from this picture but the Wjcon and Tarte ones are with glossy finish)

The Bite High Pigment Pencil in Quince is very opaque compare to the other two and much more "matte". I mean it's not complete matte more of a satin to matte finish which I really like, and the interesting thing about this lipstick is that in some lightings is more of a deep fuchsia and other times actually looks more red. So pretty and so comfortable on the lip, literally feels like nothing on.

As far as the Wjcon Long Lasting Lip Pencil (Passion Rose 09) and the Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick (Candy Red) those are more sheer with glossy finish. The Tarte one is a little more opaque and more pink I would say. They are both comfortable on the lips and very hydrating. FYI the Wjcon one is not as long lasting as the Tarte one but I really like the colour and the fact that it is sheerer so that I can totally wear it on a casual/minimal makeup day. FYI Wjcon is exclusively sold in Italy but the KIKO Creamy Lip Crayons are very similar.

Now let's talk about this Avon Glimmerstick Lip Liner in Red Brick. I have been using this for as long as I could remember. The colour is a brick red hence the name and it is a good match for most of my red lipsticks but perfect for warm reds. It's matte, lasts well, and for the price you really can't go wrong.

(left to right: Dior and YSL)

Ohh Dior... You guys know how much I'm obsessed with Dior lipsticks, especially this Rouge Dior in 999 which in my opinion is a classic red and perfect for formal events or evening nightouts. It is a warm red from what I can tell and would look gorgeous on all skin tones. It is as light as a lipstick could ever get as far as texture goes plus it smells lovely. It's a must-have if you love red lippies.

(with YSL on)

If you have to buy one thing from YSL and that would be the lipsticks. YSL certainly knows what they are doing when it comes to lipsticks because all their lip products are simply to die for. I like the formulas, the scent, how it feels on the lip as well as lasting power. I mean you just can't go wrong with YSL lipsticks especially the Rouge Pur Couture The Mats line. I have this gorgeous red shade in 209 Red Rythm and it is my go-to red lipstick when I go out in the evening. It is matte but not flat, feels light and lasts ages. It is also a classic red I would say, but a tad cool toned compare to the Dior one.
