5 Radiant Red Lipsticks for Valentine’s Day

There are so many fantastic reds available on the market these days, but I managed to narrow it down to this list of five that I think would make an incredible ruby red pout for Valentine’s Day.

NYX Too Chic — subtly blue-based red with a semi-matte finish
Guerlain Liu — glossy semi-opaque red with pink
MAC Ruby Woo — blue-based, matte, not budging
NARS Mascate — matte, deep red with very subtle cool undertones
MAC Prolong — subtly blue-based red with a natural sheen

What’s your favorite red lipstick for Valentine’s Day?

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme Review, Photos, Swatches (Part 2)

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme: Part 2

Here’s part two! Next up, a preliminary overview of the texture/feel and recommendations.

Overtime is a pale light-medium pink with subtle yellow undertones. It seems like a (just barely) lighter version of Creme Cup, paler version of Angel, and pinker version of Hue. I felt like this one didn’t flatter lips as much as others — it kind of looked drying, even though it didn’t feel that way. This is a cream finish.
Perpetual Flame is a rich, fuchsia raspberry. The closest permanent shade would be Impassioned (without the iridescent fuchsia sheen), but it’s not too similar. This is a cream finish.
Prolong is a bright, cherry-ish kind of red with slight blue undertones. It’s brighter and not as ruby red as Extended Play. Seems a bit lighter than Russian Red and has a slightly frost sheen, also similar to Ruby Woo but with weaker blue undertones. This is a cream finish.
Sweet Ever After is peach-brown with lighter peach micro-shimmer. Darker, browner version of Honeyflower, less coral Jist. This is a frost finish.
Till Tomorrow is a muted, dark pinky-nude. Kind of like a darker, slightly muted Modesty.
Unlimited is a medium pink with subtly cool undertones, but it doesn’t lean too blue at all. It’s a darker version of Chatterbox. This is a cream finish.
