Hey everyone!

I’ve been loving bright lipsticks especially Hot Reds lately and I thought of doing a little compilation of hot, bright reds to those of you looking for the perfect red lipstick for summer!

1. Revlon Matte Lipstick : Really Red (Rs 500)

Revlon Really Red is one of my favorite reds and tops this list! Its a true tomato red that is neither too cool toned nor too warm but pops beautifully on almost every skin tone! The formula is rich, creamy and fairly comfortable for a matte lipstick. I’m not sure if this is still available on counters (I heard it got discontinued) but if it is, I’d highly recommend it!

2. L’Oreal Paris Moist Matte Lipstick : Flaming Kiss (Rs 899)

This warm orange-y red is the latest addition to my red lipstick collection and I’m absolutely blown away by how beautiful this is! The packaging is luxurious as is the texture. It feels silky soft and delivers rich color in a single swipe. The color hugs the lips and stays on for a long time as well. This is part of the Cannes Collection for 2014.

Hey everyone!

Few weeks back, I had done a compilation of Everyday Nude lipsticks which was a big hit with so many of you! Since you had requested more such compilations, I thought of doing one for Bright lipsticks. Spring/Summer is the time to whip out the juicy corals, oranges, pinks and hot reds and I personally love bright lips! I have a fairly big collection of bright lipsticks so I’ve split up these posts into 3 parts!

Lipsticks featured in this Part 1 are as follows –

NYX Round Lipstick – Femme ($4.00)
Chambor Powder Matte Lipstick – Pink Flamingo (Rs 595)
Inglot lipstick no.234 (Rs 550, may have changed now)

FOTD : Neutral eyes, Matte Red Lips

Revlon Matte Lipstick Really Red is one of my favorite reds! I have quite a few reds but none of them look as richly ‘red’ and true as this one! I generally pick cool toned reds and I ended up with this warm red as it was a free gift with some other purchases. I have previously worn this shade in my Festive makeup look HERE.

In this look, I’ve paired this stunning red with neutral eyes and cheeks using the Clinique palette I received with my December Vellvette box. I’m not entirely happy with the texture of the powders in this palette especially the blush which is quite powdery and looks ashy on my skin. I’ll be swatching and reviewing this palette in full detail soon.
