We’re so close to Christmas and I’m only one day away from having a full week off, so you can say I’m pretty excited. Being that I’m in the holiday spirit and this is the last ‘official’ post of 2017 (next week will be a throwback and a yearly favorites recap), why not post about my favorite lipsticks dure red lip season?
MAC “Taupe” Matte finish, terracotta shade. Gorgeous peachy nude for darker skin, but doubles as a gorgeous warm terracotta brown for fairer skin. All around gorgeous lippy. Dec 15, 2014 Reviewed: The best nude lipsticks for dark skin tones including Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Barely There and MAC Lipstick in Yash at Cosmopolitan.co.uk. Unfiltered Proof That MAC’s Newest Lipstick Shades Look Amazing on Darker Skin Tones. That’s why we’re so excited about the new MAC nude lipstick collection called Strip Down. It works especially well on darker skin tones and can be complemented with a gloss or a lipstick liner. Although it’s a matte lipstick, it won’t feel cakey or drying on the lips. $18.50 at MAC. For women with darker skin, it can be a challenge to find the perfect nude lipstick. But these shades, from a peachy matte to sheer taupe, won’t leave you looking ghostly. MAC’s light nude brilliant shade makes darker skin tones prettier and classier. Never will you be feeling outclass with this excellent shade on. Via #5 – Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in L.U.V. The bright violet Kat Von D’s lip color is undeniably classic and absolutely chic. So who said pinks are for the fair skins? The darker skins too are meant for all different shades and colors.
Over the years, I’ve learned which lipstick shades I prefer and stick with reds, browns, and mauves almost exclusively. Of the three, red lips are my favorite. Adding a red lip to any look instantly makes me feel more put together. The most common reason women shy away from a red lip is because they feel like they don’t look right wearing such a bold color. But you know what? Red lips look good on everyone, it’s just a matter of finding the right shade and getting used to wearing color.
To help you in your red lip pursuits, I’ve rounded up 7 of the best red liquid lipsticks. These shades look particularly good on dark skin, so they have become my go-to picks whenever I want a red lip.
7 Best Red Liquid Lipsticks
1) Uncensored | Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint
- Undertone: Varies (Appears blue based on lighter skin tones and orange based on deeper skin tones)
- Shadedescription: A perfect, universal red.
The packaging of this product is absolutely stunning, but what really makes the Stunna Lip Paint stand out is the innovative formula. It’s truly a universal red, perfect for someone to wear if they haven’t yet found their preferred red palette. The pigmentation is the most vibrant of the seven lipsticks mentioned, and it takes the cake in terms of wearability. Coloured Raine was my favorite formula before Stunna Lip Paint came along. While their formula is incredibly comfortable with a lip balm, I truly forget I’m wearing a liquid lipstick when I have the Stunna Lip Paint on.
2) Arriba! | ColourPop x iluvsarahii Ultra Matte
- Undertone: Blue
- Shadedescription: A warm true red.
This shade came out a month or so before the Fenty Beauty lip paint, and I initially wondered if the two would serve as dupes for each other. After owning and wearing them both, I can confirm they are different but both have a true red color. The Fenty Beauty lip paint is more vibrant and bold. Arriba is a true red that’s 1-2 shades darker than the Fenty’s lip. ColourPop liquid lipsticks last all day and are comfortable to wear if you apply a moisturizing lip balm underneath, so I recommend this shade if you are looking for a true red that isn’t overly bright.
3) Cherry Blossom | Coloured Raine Lip Paint
- Undertone: Blue
- Shade description: Blue-based red liquid lipstick that dries matte.
Coloured Raine’s Cherry Blossom is a WOC staple! Nearly every girl (including celebs like Tracee Ellis Ross) swear by Cherry Blossom for the go-to red. Why? Something about the blue undertones mixed with the red color just pairs so beautifully on brown skin. As mentioned earlier, Coloured Raine is second only to Fenty Beauty when it comes to comfort and wearability. This brand nails formulation without compromising staying power.
4) LAX | ColourPop Ultra Matte
- Undertone: Brown
- Shadedescription: A rich, vampy red.
Personally, I love a dark red lip. LAX is the deepest burgundy lip color I own, and it made the list for the best liquid lipsticks because the formula doesn’t apply in patches or streaks. With dark lip colors, it really shows when the formula is lackluster. The staying power isn’t as long as their lighter shades, but the shade is stunning on deeper skin tones.
5) Carnivorous | MAC Retro Matte
- Undertone: Brown
- Shadedescription: A blackened, matte red.
Carnivorous is another excellent choice for a dark red lip, and this product has great staying power. This is a good shade to have in your arsenal because it’s deep enough to pair with any look without overpowering the entire outfit. The size of MAC Retro Matte liquid lipsticks is extremely convenient because they’re small enough to fit in even the tiniest of clutches.
6) Brique | Jouer Cosmetics Lip Creme
- Undertone: Warm
- Shadedescription: A matte, warm brick red.
Jouer Cosmetics has a mousse-like texture, very different from most liquid lipsticks. The standout feature with their formula is the line-filling capabilities. For me, the Jouer lip cremes appear to smooth out my lips more than any other liquid lipstick. The formula itself is comfortable to wear, but Brique tops the list because it is a true brick red–stunning on the lips.
7) Rooch | Colourpop x Karrueche Ultra Matte
- Undertone: Warm, Red
- Shadedescription: A deepened, russet wine.
Rooch was my favorite dark red lipstick for at least a year. It’s still a favorite, but I’m running low and it’s out of stock currently so I’ve since filled the void with MAC Carnivorous. Rooch is a staple shade because the warm undertones keep the lip from washing you out. As always with ColourPop liquid lipsticks, it lasts all day and isn’t drying upon application when a lip balm is worn underneath.
To recap, below are my picks for the 7 best red liquid lipsticks for dark skin:
- Uncensored | Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint
- Arriba! | ColourPop x iluvsarahii Ultra Matte
- Cherry Blossom | Coloured Raine Lip Paint
- LAX | ColourPop Ultra Matte
- Carnivorous | MAC Retro Matte
- Brique | Jouer Cosmetics Lip Creme
- Rooch | Colourpop x Karrueche Ultra Matte

Makeup is love and so is MAC ? .Today’s post is all about some gorgeous MAC lipstick shades that will look amazing on anyone with Indian skin tones. First let me share two little tips with you all.
- While choosing or selecting your lip shades when you go to any makeup store, it is advisable that you don’t judge the shade under the chrome lights that normally every store has. Just put on that shade you are after, come out of the store and then check it. It works best under natural light as you know the actual shade and its undertones.
- To pull off your lipstick nicely, a lip liner is needed to do justice to the shade you are wearing. So it is important that you apply lip liners. They not only define your lips but also stop your lipstick from bleeding.
So, lets get straight away to my top favourite MAC lipsticks for Indian skin tones: I will start from the lighter tones and move towards the darker ones.
NUDE SHADES
VELVET TEDDY: ( Matte Finish) It has a purply pink tone to it. The shade looks absolutely gorgeous if you do smokey eyes and choose to wear some cool tones for your clothes. Dramatic eye makeup is advisable to pull off this shade otherwise it looks a bit washed out on its own. The shade looks amazing on someone from lighter to medium skin tones.
PERSISTENCE: ( Matte Finish) Its like a nudish brown. That perfect nude shade which you can wear everyday for work, being a nude it does not make you look washed out because of the browny undertones rather than pinky and peachy. It again looks amazing with smokey eyes.
TWIG: (Satin Finish) Pinkish nude which is subtle and not very bright. This shade looks absolutely gorgeous on any skin tone. It is kind of a purply pink. It looks beautiful with white dresses and will make your makeup look very fresh if you are planning to wear a nude shade for an afternoon tea with your cool toned clothes. This is a trusted shade, use it with confidence.
TAUPE: ( Matte Finish) I guess it is no news that taupe is one of my favourite shades in MAC.The shade can be described as a muted reddish- brown. It looks amazing on people between NC35- NC40 of MAC’s studio fix compact. I use it all day everyday. It goes so well with all my outfits. Whether in the morning or night time, this colour looks gorgeous.
MEHR: ( Creamy & Smooth Finish) Mehr looks beautiful on any skin tone. One thing definitely worth trying with Mehr is to go for a dramatic eye makeup look to accentuate the lipstick on your lips. It goes very well with smokey eyes other wise you can feel a little bit washed out as it is a bluish pink tone. This shade can be used as an everyday colour for work, lunch dates and night out plans.
PINK SHADES
ALL FIRED UP: (Matte Finish) It is a reddish pink with blue tones, such a gorgeous and vibrant pink. It brightens up the skin tone making it look very fresh and adds an oomph factor to your overall look. It is a great shade if you are planning to wear a pink lipstick for your wedding. This shade is always a great choice for night outs and parties.
REBEL : (Satin Finish) Rebel is a unique shade, more berry toned than pink and this is one such colour which looks amazing on any skin tone and anybody can pull off this colour with ease. Though it looks very purply but on application you can see its actual colour which is very feminine.
FLAT OUT FABULOUS : (Matte Finish) It’s kind of purplish pink and super pigmented. It is universally a very flattering shade, bold and bright. It instantly brightens up the face.
UP THE AMP: (Amplified Creme Finish) MAC describes this shade as “ Lavender Violet”. It has a very rich creamy finish, easy on lips, pigmentation is good which I like on my lipsticks.
RED SHADES
RUBY WOO: (Matte Finish) It’s a bright red with blue tones to it. Absolutely loved by all MAC lovers. No matter what skin tone you are in, Ruby Woo just brightens up the entire look.
RUSSIAN RED: (Matte Finish) I will say it’s an orangish red with blue tones if you compare to Ruby Woo. This is one of my absolute favourites after Ruby Woo in MAC red shades. This colour looks bright on my skin tone and it is super pigmented. Being in the matte finish category, it is not at all drying rather feels smooth on the lips on application. This is one such colour which looks gorgeous on photos.
DIVA : (Matte Finish) This can be a staple to any Indian skin tone. It’s a reddish-burgundy. You can pull off the colour very easily as maroon shades are liked by many of us and it gives a freshness to the entire makeup look. A perfect shade for autumnwinter or any wedding season.
I hope this post will help you choose your colour the next time you visit a MAC store!! ?
Have a nice day everyone and thanks for dropping by
