Need Rec: Lipstick for Red Head

brndas...@aol.comnospam (Brenda)
Hey all.
I suck at picking my own lipstick shade. I want something pinky–peachy but it
can't look summery. Basically, I want a lipstick that will "brighten" my face
without looking "off."
I've got true Auburn hair and am hoping some other red heads have a fav they
can recommend.
Much thanks,
Brenda

Although my red hair is courtesy of hair dye, dad and my sister have
naturally red hair. I definitely have my dad's warm skin tone (BB Warm
Ivory, Stila ILF 20 watts) and blue eyes. My favorite lipsticks are:
BB Sandwash Pink
MAC Viva Glam V (it's also peachy pink, with a slight shimmer)
Maybelline WD in Pink Topaz
Hope that helped!

I 2nd MAC Viva Glam V. Just got it the other week. I like it a lot.

I have to third this recommendation, it's a great "throw it on"
colour. Incidentally, the Viva Glam V lipglass is also wonderful,
IMHO.
If you are interested in a natural wearable pink that doesn't look
"wrong" on a redhead, you might want to check out LORAC's Rita – it's
a sheer warm pink (no shimmer) that is very flattering.
For a warmer shimmery option, Chanel's Beige de Chanel is a great one
as well.
