I have always had to mix 'reds' up from different palettes, make up kits to get the almost perfect 'red'.
So what makes a 'true red' lipstick? Well, it's not allowed to be too light, too dark, or be a warm red (this means that the pigmentation leans more towards the yellow end of the spectrum rather than the blue) The blue end would make the lipstick cooler as long as a cool blue is used without it leaning towards the warm yellows.
Well I hope that hasn't confused you my little Crimson Cittenz!
Whilst on my bumblings, I am delighted to say that I have finally found it...and it is from a new collection by SuperCover...yes the brand I have been using all this time for catwalk work, photo shoots, bridal and more have finally made a 'true red' lipstick!..it leans towards cool blue and you can also see the cool pink undertones!!
And there's more...it doesn't bleed around the lip line, smudge, cake or crease!!! I tested it vigorously in the shower under warm-hot water and...it didn't do anything!!
It's name says it all...
It's called SEDUCTION and it's great for pale, olive, dark, warm and cool toned skin types...wot an absolute delight...and I, CC2 am wearing it in the pictures within this blog!

I know you want to treat yourselves to this beautiful lipstick..so lucky you, I have them in stock! The cost of one is £9.95 incl VAT plus p&p, (SuperCover prices will change in Jan 2010, p&p not included - other colours are also available).
So pucker up and email me at consultancy@crimsoncatz.com It's time to kiss and make-up, Mwah!

Well i dont have any idea about lipsticks though.. But its good to know that red is not red.. it got differet reds.. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Sadikk, I think consumers become distressed when trying to find the perfect red or any coloured lipstick because they can tell that there is a difference but can't question 'why' this is, so now they know.
ReplyDeleteI always ensure that our client walks away understanding what their skintone, undertone actually is and what colour cosmetics would suit them.
Thank you for sharing Sadikk.
Take care, CC2x
