Have you ever wondered how some girls manage to not get lipstick stains on their coffee cups or boyfriends and yet wear the most irresistible color that last’s all day?

Recently I discovered sheer tint and lip plumper by Kimiko Beauty- the answer to long-wearing and long-lasting lip color.

Kimiko beauty formulates anti-aging cosmetics that double as age appropriate skincare.

The sheer tint leaves behind a ethereal wash of color that can be layered on creating a soft to intense lip.

Pomegranate shown above is for the red lipstick siren who needs the perfect summer red.

Summer Berries – TopShop Makeup

Summer is fast approaching and a more minimal makeup application is required.  No one wants to drench their skin in heavy makeup, or leave lipstick stains on their coffee cups or boyfriends.

I know I don’t, and I’m always on the look out for a one step application that keeps my pout in signature red, even after morning coffee and kisses in the afternoon.

A new chosen favorite is Berry by TopShop.  A rich deep red that can be intensified or worn as a light stain for a more natural effect.

I loved that I was able to line my lips and fill in without blotting.  I applied a little lip balm for more moisture and my lips stayed berrylicious all day.

Berry is for all skin tones, just make sure it works with your pearly whites.

Lip Markers by TopShop are the perfect travel companions this summer, they fit easily in your makeup bag and make touch-ups when necessary easy-peasy.

I’m a little predicable and boring.  I tend to use the same red polish for my pedicures, I’ve tried other fashion colors, like Vamp and other Reds but always go back to Dovima by NARS.

It is the perfect shade, illuminating my soft glowing skin, and works beautifully with my YSL patent leather sandals. Recently I discovered other amazing shades by NARS like China Town and Jungle Red – but believe it or now it’s that shade of Orgasm that has me enthralled!

I’m a skincare junkie, but my first love was and continues to be Red Lipstick.

One of the things I love to do when visiting my parents in Tracy is visit the local Target.  I never miss the opportunity to walk through the cosmetics department and scour the shelves for affordable beauty products I don’t have.

Rich Red by ELF Cosmetics is a gorgeous shade of red, with you guessed it, a pink undertone.  Red Lipsticks with Pink Undertones work best on Cool Skin Tones, plus this shade of red makes my teeth look pearly white.

The convenient jumbo sized lip pencil creates exact color application and the twist up applicator makes it so that you don’t need a pencil sharpener.  The color is deep, rich and enriched with Vitamin A, C & E.  The formula is hydrating, quenching your lips in Long-lasting beautiful color.

I’ve been receiving compliments while wearing this magnificent shade, isn’t it time you did too?

Finding Your Perfect Shade of Crimson

After interviewing Oscar Winning Makeup Artist Michele Burke I finally understood the differences with finding the perfect shade of Red – You will either have a warm or cool skin tone – If you’re like me and fall in-between, look at the color of your teeth, do they look pearly white or yellow?  The desired effect is glowing skin and pearly white teeth, choose the red that gives you both.

Michele’s Red Lipstick Tips

Warm skin tones:  Have greenish-blue veins and creamy-white teeth, they look best in Fire engine reds, watermelon, oranges and nectarines.  For pink reds I recommend coral, tangerine, peach or salmon.

Cool skin tones:  Have bluish veins and their teeth are usually blue/white or gray/white they can wear maroon, burgundy, fuchsia or raspberry reds, anything with a pink undertone.

I always want what she’s having – the ever so stylish Kate Moss created an amazing shade of red that works with most skin tones – don’t forget to match the gorgeous shades of crimson to your teeth- some reds can make your pearly whites look yellow,  making them the wrong shade.

Opening the tube of Kate’s Red did not disappoint, the color was a deep crimson that moisturized and left lips soft, supple and inviting.

Formulated with a black diamond pigment complex that gives the bright reds, soft pinks and nudes radiance and amazing shine.

The rich and creamy texture stays put through-out the day, infusing your lips with Vitamins C, E and all-day antioxidant protection.

Diana Vreeland’s name will forever be associated with effortless chic, style and Red Lipstick.  She’s actually the patron saint of Red Lipstick if there were such a thing.
I wish we actually knew what brand and shade she preferred.
The biographies and books mention she wore a shade referred to as Dragon Red -
I’ll keep searching, but if anyone knows please tell us….
In the meantime, I’ll just keep buying every shade that crosses my path…..after all a gal can never have too many shades of Red.
Here’s to Diana Vreeland, Red Lipstick & Style!
