On a recent trip to a MAC Store, I decided to buy a few lipsticks that are exclusive to freestanding MAC Stores, including Lady Danger. It is a bright red that leans slightly orange in a Matte finish. And I have decided that this is my favourite bright red lipstick of all time (Viva Glam I is my favourite red lipstick, but it is decidedly deeper and more crimson, rather than bright). It has a Matte finish, but it glides on creamy and smooth. It feels very comfortable on the lips, and it's not drying at all.
Lady Danger is more red than So Chaud, and more orange than Russian Red. For those who have warmer undertones and want a nice, bright red but find Russian Red and Ruby Woo too blue-based, definitely check out Lady Danger. It is available online and at MAC Stores only (not at partnered locations), and retails for $17.50, though you can also get one for free through the Back to MAC recycling program when you return six MAC containers.
I am sooo in love!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I will ever wear a red lipstick.. I'm too into pinkish brown lipsticks like Offshoot, Gem of Roses, etc. as I can apply them with any eye look.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Mary, this is totally up your alley! :) Perhaps retire the hot pinks and corals for fall, and rock the reds and plums? ;)
ReplyDeleteFieran, I used to say the same thing... and then I became a make-up artist. :P I used to only wear nude lipsticks because then I could put more emphasis on a more dramatic eye, but I realized the beauty of simple eyes and a classic red lip. It's such a classy look. You don't have to buy a red lipstick, but you should totally try one! Try one on at a counter and just walk around with it. Maybe it'll grow on you!
