Do you have a signature lipstick?


Do you have a signature lipstick? Is there a shade that you just always wear or are known to wear?

Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque would be the closest thing to a signature lip color for me!

Reds like MAC Marcel Wanders Gesina, Illamasqua Box, Kat Von D Underage Red, and *any* bright or shocking pink! Think MAC Candy Yum Yum, Pink Pigeon, or Kat Von D Backstage Bambi!

As the only girl in my family to rock red lips at all, I’d say red lipstick. 🙂
But I have a HUGE love for deep plum or berry lips too.

Red = Elizabeth Arden Poppy Red
Plum = MAC Rebel

I’m still in a makeup experimenting phase so I’m still working on a “signature” look in general!

Everything in my collection gets a fair rotation, though I do tend to lean on my fuschias and reds quite a bit. Probably my most worn shade is my Covergirl Lip Perfection in Soulmate, so much so that I wound up purchasing a Dior shade because it reminded me so much of it – which will become my go-to shade once I finally crack open the box. (It’s Dior’s Perfecto, if I’m remebering the shade correctly.)

I’m the only one in the family that is willing to experiment with bold colors so my signature is Revlon’s Cherries on the Snow, though Covergirl’s Embrace and MAC’s Impassioned do make regular appearances

Not a specific color but I generally rock hot pink lips. Usually MAC but I wear a gamut: Pink Burst, Vivacious, Big Bow, Quick Sizzle, Pink Pigeon, etc.

MAC Ruby Woo
Dior Diorific Rouge Dolce Vita 014
Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl

I love my D&G red lipsticks…but my favorite lipstick of all time is from Dior’s lipstick of yester years which they dont make anymore. It is mauve-pink. I love the casing also. Unlike the newer Dior lipstick and lipstick like Chanel and Nars, this smidgen of lipstick that I have left has not turn rancid on me. I cannot even remember the name of it.

MAC Rebel is the shade that I wear that usually gets the most attention. My NYX Monte Carlo Matte Lipcreme is close second. Those are my go to when I’m wanting to turn my look up a notch!

I wear Chanel Rouge Allure in “Captive” constantly, and it is very close to me heart, but it’s not the kind of colour people notice. I guess MAC Sheen Supreme in “Good to Be Bad” is the lipstick my friends notice and associate with me.

OMG, yay, my question got picked! 😀

Over the past few years, I’ve become known for wearing blue-based bubble gum pinks laced with lilac. Chanel Coco Pink was my signature color forever. I have half a tube left, and I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement since they discontinued it last year! Dior Pink Caprice is similar, and though it’s not quite Coco Pink, it’s become part of my signature style.
