5 Beautiful Berry Lipsticks
5 Beautiful Berry Lipsticks
Reader Brittany requested a five ways post for berry lips, so here are five of my picks for berry lipsticks (and I’ll do glosses next!) 🙂 My trick for wearing darker shades like this is to keep eyes soft and neutral–think your-lid-but-better kind of colors with a medium-dark brown, taupe, or plum in the crease.
- MAC Rebel Lipstick — really rich, vibrant red-based berry
- Guerlain Gigolo Rouge G Lipstick — luxurious berry-red with ruby micro-shimmer
- MAC Odyssey Lipstick — medium-dark berry with a hint of plum
- NYX Violet Ray Lipstick — deep, dark berry with red tones
- Thierry Mugler Dream Rouge Unique Lipstick — purpled berry with a very glossy finish
thank you soooo much for this!!!! I was looking for a good berry lip!!!!
I really love NYX Violet Ray, and MAC Hang Up is one I will be buying until the day I die.
MAC Rebel is one of my favorite! I wear it with a neutral eye so it can be the star of the show! Its gorgeous 🙂
Gosh, I instantly fell in love with the first color, scrolled and realized I already have it. Rebel. LOL
I have Guerlain Gigolo….apart from my normal reds. Absolutely beautiful and expensive.
Love love love Rebel and Odyssey. Laura Mercier’s Cranberry is also a favorite!
i really like odyssey.
MAC Rebel !! Every single time I wear it, someone complements or asks what the name of the color is. No kidding.
MAC Rebel Lipstick and Guerlain Gigolo Rouge G Lipstick I am so in love with these 2 lippies
I instantly loved #1 and now I know why, it’s a color I already have! lol Guess I need to dig it up and start using it again.
mac lickable and mac speak louder
I was just watched a dark lip look tutorial yesterday! ^^
Now I want to try it. I haven’t tried any dark or berry lipsticks before.
The Guerlain Gigolo Rouge G lipstick looks so good, but pricey. >.<
Rebel is sooooo crazy bright on me! I wish it looked on me like it does in your photos!
Ohhh Rebel is like the color I was looging for! I just bought Violetta and Show orchid because of you and they are sooooooooo gorgeous! I love them
of course I love the most expensive ones! Actually if I had to pick my top 3 it would go: MAC Rebel, Guerlain, Thierry Mugler Dream! I also do love the NYX one but I feel like it would accentuate my overly dry lips..
before i even saw the picture, i thought “rebel”. its the only berry i absolutely love. its got the impact that a red lipstick has, without being actually RED. That Guerlain shade is beautiful as well. MAC used to make a lip laquer that was very thick and berry hued as well, but i cant recall what it was called. i think it was in 07. syrup is almost berry to me, but those are the only shades i have!
On you, the Guerlain is a KNOCKOUT! You have awesome lips *blush*
And….Thierry Mugler makes makeup too? I am so screwed. I’ve been an Angel fan forever (thanks to my sister).
I do like the MAC colors as well….and I just ordered my first NYX matte lipstick from Hautelook yesterday, excited!!
Thanks for the review (and lemmings lol)
Yep, Mugler makes makeup – I think distribution is rather limited but it is available online!
Gorgeous picks! I love berry shades and this is really helpful!
probably my fave is MAC Deep Attraction
I’m a huge fan of berry and plum shades as a rule. My favourite, although it’s a little dark compared to a lot of berry shades, is Mac’s “Desire”. I’ve also fallen for Gigolo, which is an amazing colour.
When I first saw the first pic I said “gosh thats such a pretty color, I hope she posted the name of it” Turns out its MAC Rebel which I already have. I have to wear this more often!
Thank u for sharing ……… its a lovely informative post…….. i loved it
I love MAC Rebel but it stains my lips. 🙁
Thank you for this, some really beautiful suggestions!
