After years trying different shades of pink lipsticks and none suit my skin tone, i dared myself to try red and was hooked immediately. My skin is so pale, with little sign of life on it..i don't blush, I don't tan, I simply look pale and washed out even when under the sun and without SPF. Red lipstick brings life to my skin, it lits up my mood and my face, and my friends reckon no one else could look good in red lipstick (without looking prostitute-y) except me...uhmm and Dita Von Teese and Shirley Manson.
Because i only wear red, I've tested almost all brands that carry this colour, and here my best picks: Splash Lava Red (my true fave, no other brand makes this shade of tangerine red and it's super cheap. I even got emails from fans of my band asking about it), MAC Ruby Woo and Russian Red (I smeared Ruby Woo using my finger to achieve the stained look and Russian Red is one of the best red lipstick on earth; it's matte without drying the lips and the colour is versatile enough for daytime), Chanel AQUALUMIÈRE Gloss in Party Red (I don't normally wear lip gloss, don't like the slicky and sticky feel of it on my lips and they don't last long, but this one is different, it's sheer and transparent but makes my lips pouty and kissable), and Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited in Mid-tone Berry Red because the colour simply works for every skin tone and the packaging is too cute to be missed.
Without my red lipsticks i feel naked, they're like my security blanket and my trusted Little Black Dress. I can wear rags and still feel fabulous if i have my red lips.
