In reality, 98% of all the lipstick manufactured in the world is virtually identical to each other, whether it's the 99 cent variety at Aldi or the $49.95 version at high-end salons, so don;t spend too much for lipstick. Just find a shade that will moisturize your lips and complement your skin tone, hair and facial features.

I can't believe I'm on a thread talking girly stuff.

I've been trying to find the perfect color for the 3 times I year I wear lipstick for years. I hate red. Over the years, I 've tried burgundies, magentas..mainly dark colors. I bought a lip liner the other day that I love so I just ran it all over my lips. I loved the matte color.

anyone know who makes great mattes?

When I did drag I wore the full price range.
There's good and mediocre in every brand and price range.

Some of the high end brands like YSL and Dior have a great range of colors though.

I think the red wooded lips looks better.

You really like it rough don't you?

when i am low on money i get the wet and wild, nail polish, blush, bronzer, lipgloss,its not to bad, really the product has improved over the years, the eye shadows and masscares,r not bad eighter, the powder, i dont like, to cakey.

I've never found a good shade of red for me. Granted I don't wear lipstick much. I need that asian guy that picked out my lipstick once, I lost track of him it was a perfect shade for me too.

That's exactly what my father said about women wearing red lipstick. He said back in the day, women were considered whorish, especially if she dyes her hair blonde. I sport the red lipstick and polish sometimes and some say that it goes with me.

I grew up with my mum telling me that knee high boots were only worn by sluts. So of course it's nearly all I wear now

ZombieKitten said:

It doesn't make you a slut just like wearing red lipstick and polish.

angel345 said:

of course not!!! but it doesn't stop me from trying

ZombieKitten said:

I see

I was looking at wet n wild last night - products for only 99p!

Girls in red lipstick (most lipsticks)= fail. Just a male opinion...

Yeah, I think I look like a clown in red lipstick so...

I'm a straight brown skin tone and Bobbi Brown works for me. She used to make a BIIIG-ASSSS jumbo pencil that was like magic matte on the lips but she betrayed us and dropped it from her line

Me too. Just bought a Rykiel bag a few weeks ago. I love that shop.

minneapolisgenius said:

PIC!! I could NEVER EVER afford one...

Her look!!!!

Mushanga said:

I'll see if I can find a pic...it's from the fall collection and it just came out.

Ok they've finally added the Fall collection to the official site I see. It's the Betty II bag with the chain handle, but then in black leather and dark blue suede. Now that I see all the others, I want another one in a different color as well.

And yes, I love Sonia Rykiel lately. I love that whole look. I even love the frizzy hair because well, that's very easy for me to achieve.

Best red lipstick EVER.

CarrieLee said:

It really is the perfect red. Not too orange, not too blue. Perfect consistency...

minneapolisgenius said:

I can't find the bag, I wanna see it..

The fall collection looks amazing... And if I'm not mistaken, I see some tailored, harem-style pants..

Yes, even the frizzy hair with a berret.. I love how french the models look..
