Milani Bing Cherry Lipstick ($4.99 for 0.13 oz.) is a subdued cherry red--it's like a sheer cherry red but it's actually opaque on lips. There's still the brightness of a cherry red, but I think this is a much tamer way to wear one if full-on cherry...

Illamasqua Welt Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright fuchsia pink with a blue base. There is a subtle iridescent shimmer-sheen to the matte finish, too--it's not a frost, but it's not quite a sheen. It's a rich, opaque color that really clings to lips, but the...
