Red lipstick

This fall seems to be all about red lipstick. (I can't stop blogging about it!) Jenny went on a hunt for the perfect shade, and the winner was Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Red. Doesn't she look gorgeous?

  3. I adore red lipstick.

    ReplyDelete

  4. Wow, what a pretty girl. Lovely the lipstick. And the hair!

    ReplyDelete

  5. Similarly obsessed. It's such a pure, classic statement.

  6. How pretty! I so wish I could wear red lips. I was totally inspired by the gorgeous make-up in your "Old Soul, New Heart" post and actually bought a red gloss, which is lovely...but I long to wear a matte red lip! ;)

  7. I'm a fan of Laura Mercier's creme lip colour in Truly Red. If I don't want a full-on crimson pout, I'll just dab it on for a light stain or layer it with a peachy lip gloss.

  8. I love her blue eyes with the red lipstick. So pretty. I think a lot of women feel like we can't wear red lipstick. Maybe we just have to find the right shade of red.

  10. I always remember my grandmother saying to me: " when you grow up, never leave the house without your red lipstick 'cause you never know who or what opportunities may occur every day. Always be ready!", this she used to say while applying on her red lipstick hah!

  11. It looks so good on her. I just don't know if I could carry it off!

  14. red lips are divine. and it looks great on jenny. love this fall trend :)

    ReplyDelete

  15. I LOOOOVE that color on her! i'm a huge loyalist to face stockholm's silk, but sometimes i cheat with nars' lipstick pencil in cruella. red lipstick instantly makes me feel prettier!

    ReplyDelete

  16. i think the trick is searching for the perfect shade for your skin tone/hair color/etc. jenny's dark hair looks so pretty with the lip color! xo

    ReplyDelete

  17. It DOES look so pretty on her. I'm going to try it!

    ReplyDelete

  18. i adore red lipstick! i found a color that i love, but i haven't had the guts to wear it anywhere outside my apartment!

    ReplyDelete

  19. I need to feel more confident with red lipstick...

    ReplyDelete

  20. Beautiful!!!! I love red lipstick it's awesome:)

    ReplyDelete

  21. WOW!!! She looks amazing!

    ReplyDelete

  22. I love red. I might be just a tad too blonde to pull it off. Jenny's coloring is much better than mine for pulling it off. Also, I think MAC makes some great colors...my alternative is to do a red lip stain, as opposed to a full-on lipstick. Works for me and snow white complexion!

    ReplyDelete

  23. I wear Lancome's Piha Red, which was created after the coles of Christian Louboutin's...it's a great shade if you're looking for one!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Yea! I've tried so many different red lipsticks with no luck. I have the same shade of brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin just like her! I must try that brand/color of lipstick now.

    ReplyDelete

  26. i've always prefered to do my eyes over my lips, but you're right, this season, red lips are huuuuge! i need to scout out the perfect shade...

    ReplyDelete

  27. Yes, that's a great Red... I recently bought "Revlon 725 Love That Red" and it lasts all day, even through lunch!

    ReplyDelete

  28. yay for red lipstick! she looks like the missing gilmore girl!

    ReplyDelete

  29. I love how red lips can vamp up any easy t-shirt & jeans outfit! So lovely!

    ReplyDelete

  30. That girl always looks amazing!

    Love the red. Whenever I wear white or royal blue I usually put some on. And your right- you instantly feel so pretty!

    ReplyDelete

  31. I LOVE red lips, and have bought two different brande/shades- but the color always seems to turn pink on me :(
    I'm still searching for that perfect color, though!

    ReplyDelete

  32. Wow! I am so trying this! It looks perfect on her!

    ReplyDelete

  33. i love red lips. my fav colour. so chic yet sexy.

    ReplyDelete

  34. It is the shade, yes & coloring. Mine is exactly Jenny's but I'm older now (wah). Texture is really important, of course. Matte can be aging -- even on someone younger. She looks great (Jenny). If you want a treat, Tres Tres Dior is good; MAC's Russian Red is as well. Actually, every line -- high to low -- has good reds. Deep pinkish-red is good for those who perhaps shouldn't go too red but it achieves similar look. (I've used Catherine by LORAC for this purpose.)

    I type this at the direction of a damn bossy French makeup artist who (she's right here). She also says, what ees thees snobbery (she means me) about Revlon and seemeelar. She's right: Revlon's Really Red is excellent & bunches of dragon ladies like this one here over my shoulder carry it in their big black Frenchie doctor bags to work on other people's faces.

    What is she wearing? Nude lipstick but of course. Contrarian!

    A cheery red ciao!

  35. its perfect for her, really makes her blue eyes pop!

    ReplyDelete

  36. thanks a bunch, joanna! i think red lipstick makes any girl look pretty as long as they find the right shade. it just takes patience--it took me awhile to find mine.

    ReplyDelete

  37. so gorgeous! I wore red lips with my halloween costume and loved it! maybe I ought to venture to wear it on a normal day/evening.

  38. very nice. like keli, I wore red lips for halloween too! they were pretty bright but it was fun wearing super sassy lips for once. I never do that during the day! but it got me thinking that maybe I should try to be a bit more adventurous...

    ReplyDelete

  39. I just wore red lipstick for the first time this weekend, and I felt sassy!

    P.S. This post totally reminds me of Naomi from the Rockstar Diaries!

    ReplyDelete

  40. she looks drop dead gorgeous! I want that shade!

    ReplyDelete

  41. Very pretty! If you think you can't pull it off, just try it. It worked for me!

    ReplyDelete

  42. I just pulled out my red from lipstick queen to perk up my lips for the mid-afternoon.

    ReplyDelete

  43. I'm all about red lips right now too! And red used to make me feel so conspicuous and self-concious. It just seems so of-the-moment right now! I found a great one by Dior (Dior Addict, I think is the lipstick formula) called Scarlet Siren. More understated but still a strong red. Makes my teeth look whiter too! And I am in love with a Kevyn Aucoin lipstick called Principessa -- more daring though.

    ReplyDelete

  45. You may like Russian Red (MAC) ... There´s a band with this name too, and it is actually called like this because of the lipstick!! ;)

    See... you are not the only one obsessed!!

    ReplyDelete

  46. she looks fantastic! love, love, love red lipstick. always makes me feel fabulous!

    ReplyDelete

  48. She's gorgeous!

    My favorite is Russian Red by MAC. I just started wearing red lipstick and it's such an unexpected pick-me-up!

    ReplyDelete

  49. oy. that dark hair with those blue eyes. and the reds?

    oy.

  50. I LOVE red lipstick, but haven't yet tried that shade! I'll have to add it to my list. I, too, actually did a post about red lipstick (listing my brief reviews) not so long ago! Here:

  51. Mad about red lipstick, but for me it has to be a blue red!!

    ReplyDelete

  52. Not a lipstick person, but I do love a good red lipstain!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  59. I saw that on her blog and loved it! Red lips are a fave of mine... I just never partake because I simply can't be bothered lol

    ReplyDelete

  60. She has the perfect coloring for it. Somehow, red lips make blue eyes pop. You'd look lovely, Joanna!

    ReplyDelete

  63. the elusive perfect red lipstick. i like the way she makes it look casual and not too hollywood glamour. it looks like something you could actually pull off in daytime hours!

    ReplyDelete

  64. so pretty. i wish i had been more careful in picking my shade of red. i just got one from mac without trying it on, its a bit too orange....

    ReplyDelete

  65. Joanna, please, PLEASE can you get your gift guide 2009 to us?! I went back and looked at the archives today; you are especially helpful when it comes to dads/ husbands/ brothers. maybe this red lipstick can be added to "my christmas gift guide for myself" :)

    ReplyDelete

  67. lips are in and i love how lipstick speaks for the lips. she looks gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete

  68. I recommend MAC Red as the perfect shade.

    ReplyDelete

  69. Why don't I look like that in red lipstick? I always feel as if my lips have multiplied in size by about 5 times, and take the red off again!

    ReplyDelete

  70. I love your blog! and about red lipstick... great :)

    ReplyDelete

  71. There's a Spanish singer who loves her red lipstick so much that he chose Russian Red for her stage name :)
    She sings in English and has a lovely voice.
    Oh, I almost forgot, I love your blog!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  73. I love red lipstick but I've yet to find the perfect one for me so I don't wear it myself! Gorgeous look on her.

  74. Love how red lipstick can really pull an entire look together. Even though it's "bold" I always try to use it on a "not so hot" day- ie not much other makeup and a pony. ;)
    This shade looks great with her dark hair and light eyes- too pretty!

    ReplyDelete

  75. I always look like a clown in red lipstick. Sometimes I think it just looks better on thinner lipped gals, or maybe I just haven't found the right shade. she looks adorable.

    ReplyDelete

  76. MAC makes the most divine red shades, but I'm guessing you already know that. Love a red lip with an understated eye.
    First time here, so very nice to meet you!

    so Joanna, what brand/shade did you get?

    ReplyDelete

  81. I've always wished I could pull off red lipstick.

    ReplyDelete

  82. I adore Carrie by Jane Iredale. The color is amazing and it is full of moisture, doesn't dry out your lips. And it's organic! Check out some other great red lipsticks here-

  83. She looks lovely. I see so many people wearing red lipstick so beautifully, but I'd have no idea where to start in trying to find the right shade.
    *Cut to shot of me, staring blankly at an endless aisle of shade after shade of red lipstick.*
    Sigh.

    ReplyDelete

  84. Oooohhh la la! She looks stunning, beautiful colouring and features! Yep, I think I will go for red too tomorrow :)

    ReplyDelete

  85. Joanna, I'm trying this tomorrow. I've never tried red lips!

  86. That girl is gorgeous! And she can do the red lips + white tee thing, it looks great. I'm jealous! I have full lips, and I find red lipstick to look too overwhelming and formal on me for everyday. :(

    ReplyDelete

  87. Finding the perfect red lipstick was my mission for today... and I think I succeded with Nar's Cruella. (wish it had a nicer name though.. haha)

    ReplyDelete

  88. oh i love red lipstick so so much!
    just realised that i look weird wearing it...
