    Classic, dirty and sexy red. It is a very flattering red, most skintones can pull this one of in my opinion. I pair it with half red lipliner. When I was at mac I asked for a very retro old glam...

    This lipstick makes me feel like a classic vixen. I like to wear it dark with a compact by my side to keep it in check. It's a lot of maintenance by how can you resist such a rich an sensual red?...

    This is THE classic dark red llpstick. It is matte so it looks very beautiful and Marilyn Monroe-ish. The money goes to a great cause and it's a classic. Highly recommend!

    This is the perfect red--totally flattering. I'm a redhead with very pink skin so I had doubts that red would look good on me, but this one is excellent. The texture is great, but it can dry out...

    Beautiful colour - not sure it's for me, however. But it's very pigmented and long lasting.
