This is the only one I've found that doesn't look ridiculous, but I'm still not sure it's right. I think maybe pinks and purples look better on me, but I really want to be able to wear bright red!

I think bright red would look great on you. Give it a go!

I think it looks good but it is quite a soft red. I think with your colouring you could go for a more dramatic shade of red. Chanel Coco Rouge lipsticks are a good starting point if you are a bit reluctant to go full tilt into a strong red.

I like it. I think you could carry off a stronger shade as well, you just need to be confident when you wear it Smile

That looks lovely and your beautiful Envy

I;d not really call it red though. You can take a lot more colour, mac rubt woo is my favourite.

What great teeth you've got!

A slightly more blue-toned red, I think?

How lovely are you ! Agree with the above, with your hair colour you could go more dramatic.

My hair is like Annie Lennox and I wore red lippy to a family meal the other night. Left the house thinking I looked fab, came home looking like a 4 yr old that had been let loose in her Mum's make up bag. I need to accept that it's not a good look on me. And it was Revlon Candy Apple which is apparently a universal red...

I think its more of a brown based red so will try the blue based suggestions, thanks. I love the look of Candy Apple ryan but think its a bit warm toned for me.

I've got Ruby Woo but it scares me, all I can see is lips when I put it on! Maybe I'll give it another go.

Annie Lennox has platinum hair doesn't she Ryan? Id have thought red would look great on you! Maybe try a cooler one than candy apple?

And thanks BTW Blush

I also agree you could go for a stronger red will look lovely against your hair colour.

You have very lovely features. Agree you could go even stronger with the red.

Yes I agree, go for a stronger brighter red. You really are a typical winter with lovely dark hair and eyes

Yup, I agree too. You could carry off a far stronger red.

Keztrel · 08/07/2013 09:44

OK, everyone agrees, that was easy! I just need to get more confident in the brightness of colours like ruby woo. I'm quite happy in bright pinks, there's just something about red that is scary.

You could always start by applying a very thin layer of hte ruby woo - dabbing on with a fingertip works very nicely.

Right will do that MrsLettuce and work up to full on red! Thanks :)
