Viva Glam I

By Neli 6 years ago.

Okay, so I'm a bit late on the band wagon. I get to do that as the beauty village elder. This lipstick was created in 1994 with Ru Paul in outrageous red sky high heels and a bright red rock star looking outfit. It's the perfect everyday red for me. Lorac used to have the most wonderful red brown cheek and lip pot ages and ages ago. I wore it almost every day, with jeans, dresses. It went with everything. Viva Glam 1 is the next best thing. In fact, it's better because 100% of the proceeds go to the AIDS FUND. Why didn't I get this back in 1994? I came to makeup late, really late. Now, I am enjoying playing with color, learning new techniques and benefitting from the reviews and tutorials of people who have my coloring or have the same beauty challenges I have. This is a winner if you have yellow or golden undertones and medium to tan skin, but I know it looks good on a lot of skin tones. Winner.

I love this lipstick. Its my favourite for day to day red wear, still true red but somehow more subtle, maybe its the warmer tones. I can wear this to work and it will stay on all day as long as I don't eat something too greasy. I have very pale pinky skin and this looks just as good on my dark olive skinned friend as it does me.

I wanted to adore this and I just... don't. Maybe its just mine, but it does that weird pilling/clumping on the surface of the lipstick. It just feels so dry! Also, perhaps its all the pink in my skin, but it pulls so brown-red on me.

lovely color, suits my skin really well. love that it can be applied super sheerly for a pretty stain, or layered on for a pin-up look. I've worn it numerous times, and always get tons of compliments. Since it is matte in texture, it is not the most hydrating lipstick out there; make sure to apply lip balm a few hours before you plan to apply this lipstick.
