The Power of Red Lipstick: Maybelline Red Revival

Hello Divas!

Remember, as long as you are living, you can change your situation.

As you Divas know, red lipstick is back with a vengeance!  It is well-known that red is a power color and the effect of red lipstick has been tested on men and they love it!!

I have had a tube of Maybelline's Red Revival in my make-up bag for over a year.  I am such a lip gloss junkie and never thought to pull it out.  But after a friend of mine started wear a fierce NARS red, I thought it may be time to put on that red lipstick!

I put on Red Revival and thought it was slightly to bright for my skin tone.  However, Red Revival is known to work with all skin tones and that is why it is the #1 selling red lipstick!  So because it was slightly too bright, I put on a layer of Lancôme's Phia Black lip gloss over the Red Revival.  The results?

The perfect true red lip for me!

Maybelline's Red Revival lipstick retails for $7.49 and can be purchased at CVS. Unfortunately, Lancôme's Phia Black was a limited edition and no longer available.  However, any sheer black lip gloss will do!

Q&A Thursdays! Pretty Peach and Bright Red Lipstick

Hello Divas!

I hope your world is just fabulous!

Today is Q&A Thursdays! One of my fav Luxetips! readers, Chamele, had a very good question regarding the best peach or bright red lipstick for skin with warm undertones. Here it is:

Question: Please help me find a pretty peach and bright red for my skin tone that won't make me look too 80's or clownish. Most pretty reds and bright peaches appear to be made for people with cool undertones, and I have warm undertones, thus I generally stick to darker colors.

Answer: Chamele during Fashion Week I discovered a bright red lipstick that looks fantastic on skin with warm undertones. Maybelline's Color Sensational Lip Color in Red Revival looks phenomenal on darker skin tones. I love it! It is the perfect red. Not too bright and not too dark. To create the perfect red color, I line my lips with my MAC lip pencil in Chesnut and then apply Red Revival over it. I then blend my lips together and the red is just smoking hot! I love it! Maybelline's Color Sensational Lip Color comes in 48 wonderful shades and they retail for $7.50. You can purchase it at CVS!

As far as a pretty preach lip color, I am current IN LOVE with Lancome's Color Fever Gloss in Hotness. It is actually a bronzy peach but it is my current go to lip gloss. The color is crazy insane! It looks fantastic on darker skin tones. I actually use it alone without lip liner. This gloss is super moisturizing and has tons of shine! Chamele you will absolutely love this color! It retails for $25 and you can purchase it from any department store.

Toodles!
