I confess…
As much as I heart cosmetics, I’ve always been kind of afraid of wearing a bold red lip!
I LOVE jazzing up my eye makeup with every color, mascara and eyeliner under the sun, but a bold lip…GULP. And, obvs I’d never do a bold eye and lip together, but just the idea of a bold lip always felt like too much for me. But, as you may have noticed to your right 
, I have gotten over that little snafu quite nicely.
I recently popped into a MAC store and asked to try the two classic red shades Ruby Woo and Russian Red that I’d heard oh-so-much about. I walked out with Ruby Woo (Russian Red was a bit too orange-y on me) and a lip pencil in Beet received compliments all the staff and on the walk home!
Ruby Woo is a super duper matte blue-based red lipstick. The color is amazing, but it does get to feeling dry especially after a bit of time passes. I’d love to try a juicier, creamier red next.
My Red Inspirations:
I’d recently seen this picture of Claire from The Fashion Bomb and *loved* the bold lip. Felicia of This That Beauty also wears a red lip oh-so-well. And…the super fab Erin @ Scandalous Beauty (whose videos I adore, btw) posted a vid on 6 lovely red lippies to try out.
Check it out below, there’s a red in this here vid for every one of you Beauties!
