Guest Post | 6 Red Lipsticks That Make You Feel Movie Star Glamorous

 

Hi, everyone! This is Laura from Laurzrah.com, guest blogging for Stacey today. Big thanks to Gemma for organising this, and I know Stacey will be sending lots of love to everyone who has commented/tweeted/etc! I know Stacey is having a bad time at the moment, but the silver lining (there is always a silver lining!) is that all her blogging friends have come full force to show their love and support. I was thinking about what I could post for Stacey, and then I thought about what I would want to do if I was in the same boat… I think I’d want to make myself look fierce, and kick the big C’s arse! My aunt is also fighting the big C, and I know she wants to look nice and like herself. Also, this is Stacey we’re talking about, and the girl loves lipstick.


The 6 lipsticks I’ve chosen are all really glamorous reds that I think would suit a variety of people! There will definitely be one for everyone, so hopefully everyone can feel as glamorous as a movie star.

 

• The two MAC one... Viva glam 1 and Ruby Woo. One matte, one retro matte – both are super pigmented, rich and long-lasting. Viva glam 1 has a slight brown undertone that makes it a little bit more sultry, and one that I think anyone could pull off. Ruby woo is the classic blue-based red that makes teeth look whiter.

• The liquid ones... The Sephora cream lip stain in ‘1/always red’ and the Bourjois rouge edition velvet in ‘Grand cru’. Again both are matte – matte is the way forward I feel – but both feel really comfortable on the lips, and both have amazing applicators that make it really easy. The Sephora one is a straight up classic red, whereas the Bourjois one is a bit vampier.

 

• The fancy ones... Tom Ford Cherry lush is the most gorgeous pinky/ raspberry red ever. It is just so pretty! One for when you’re feeling spendy, you can’t help but feel glamorous whipping this out of your bag. Estee Lauder vengeful red has the best name, and the colour is an intense and shiny red.

 

What is your favourite red lipstick?
