Red velvet lips, any SN lippie similar to this combination

Post by Springfairy » Tue Jan 15, 2013 12:07 pm

Hi, I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr-gDp2h ... r_embedded
and fell in love with the colour which Kandee put together from two Mac lipliners (Cherry and Chesnut) and a blush (Makeup Forever number 99). Is there an SN lippie that is close to this shade?

Crimson and Reddy come to my mind, but they are glossier than the mix from youtube. And Crimson is velvetier than Reddy. Maybe dusting some powder and adding some brown liner will help to achieve a closer look, but if you are looking for some easy dupe, you might want to take a look at these two. Hope it was a bit of help.

The mix is pale and does't look yellow

On this page there is a swatch comparing many of the red lipsticks and glosses:

Crimson does look the closest to the color in the video, but no one color is going to give the look that she got from using the 2 liner colors. You would probably need to use a brown liner like she did...or I wonder if you could use Roxie lip stain (http://host.silknaturals.com/creb/roxie ... -1270.html) around the outline of your lips to give the same effect? May be worth trying.

Thanks a lot for the tips, I'll try them as I have Crimson and Reddy and will look into purchasing Roxie. So far I was kind of afraid purchasing something so orange.
