Tomato Red Lipstick, Spring 2010


One of the most powerful color for lips this spring season is RED. Red lips can be applied in a traditional way or in a modern style. Both looks calls for clean or minimum makeup on eyes and cheek.

Traditional way is to applied in matte texture style usually accompanied with darker lip liner, with a lip brush and a pair of steady hands. While the modern style is done with a choice of satin or glossy texture lipsticks, creating the sexy and wet pout lips.

Red lipstick has a combination of various color tones ranging from blue, tomato red (orange), plum or pink.

Below are a few of my favourite red lipsticks.


1- MAC, Viva Glam I. This is matte texture and tomato color based. Very intense red and excellent for formal business or for dinner with an elegant black color spaghetti gown.



The color is rich and very long lasting but it tends to be a little dry. So good to wear some lip balm before wearing this lip stick.
2- Estee Lauder, Rich Red
Nice golden packaging. Expensive and classy look. The texture is slightly glossy and accompanied with nice scent.

3- Chanel, Lover
Blue based with nice and smooth texture. Good fragrance.





4- Revlon, In the Red.

Economical and equally good in terms of color tone and texture. Maybe a little loose out in terms of scent and packaging.
