A choice of Hues - Red


On this wonderful Saturday morning, I thought I would share with you my favorite red products.

NARS Exhibit A Blush
Described as a "matte red blush", all you need is one verrry light touch of the product in the pan, and both your cheeks are done. It might look intimidating in the pan, but it blends like a dream, imparting the most natural "flush". It reads more as an oragey-red in photographs but let me assure you, this is RED.

Colourbar Nail Lacquer in 83, All Fired Up 2
I've tried OPI, Essie and even China Glaze, but somehow I still favor colourbar over them. Its lasts the longest of all the nail paints I've tried (4 days without chipping, record). Its matte (as in no shimmer), giving it an unfair advantage in my books (quelle surprise) and goes on opaque in one quote. If you love red, consider buying this. Even if you don't, consider it nevertheless.

MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick
Ruby Woo is a retro matte "blue-red" lipstick from MAC (Do you see a trend here?). I think this really favors all skintones, on me, I prefer this over Russian Red. When it comes to lipstick, I'm a nude/natural or red lips kinda girl. I don't believe in middle ground. Seen here.

I think I have another red lipstick, but two red lip products seemed redundant.
Whats your favorite red product?

  2. Exhibit A looks really pretty. I like red lip glosses like Armani's #400 and Laura Mercier's laque rouge.

  4. I agree with Colorbar staying long on nails compared to many others. N I love reds and it's Russian Red for me, as Ruby Woo was too dry on me.

    1. Oh, really? Hmm. Russian Red as a colour just didn't work for me. Maybe I should give it another try?
