Polka Dot said:I don't know if any of you followed Project Runway this last season, but one of the finalists on the show, Laura, was a red lipstick devotee--and she had bright red hair. I actually couldn't stand her personality the way the show presented it, and she was a bit of a one-note designer. However, she always looked chic in her black ensembles, red lipstick, and pulled-back red hair.
As someone whose hair seems to grow in redder and redder, I want to know what red she uses!
Mine is red, and I go with Besame red or noir red from Besame. I blot the noir red down to just a purplish stain, or I blot it and add some of the gloss. That knocks the intensity down a little bit. Besame Red I wear almost right out of the tube, I just blot to fix the edges. Their Red Hot Red is too pinkish with my coloring, and Revlon's red is too orange. I also like Trucco's Blood Red, but that's got brown undertones.
It's pretty much a trial-and-error process. My mom is a redhead too, and we definitely can't wear the same colors.
You just reminded me that I have to go buy another Besame Red. Those cute little containers certainly don't stay closed very well in a purse.
