Looking for Red

[trixiejim]

How does Atomic compare to Reddy? Not sure which to get.

They're both sheer, though Reddy is a little bit more pigmented than Atomic and layers better too. If you are looking for a pigmented red these are not the ones but if you want a light, sheer red go for them.

Atomic is a cool-toned red. Reddy is neutral or maybe a slightly warm red. I wear both of them during the day and I think both are great for summer. I use Atomic on top of very warm red lipsticks to make them a bit cooler.

I don't have Atomic, but all the pictures I've seen on the site and the forum make it look like it pulls pretty pink. I prefer a cooler-toned red, and Reddy seems to be. Mostly neutral, I guess. It's a wonderful lippie. Strawberry Fields is also a good option, mostly cool-toned, I think. It's a slightly pinkish red on my lips. If you want more coverage, rather than sheer, Tango or the new Vroom are also good options.

Thank you for the responses. I want a more cool-toned, sheer red since this will be my first red ever! I am kind of afraid of getting a red, but I think the time is right

Are Atomic or Reddy good choices or is there something that fits my description better?

Thanks again!

Atomic is pink on my lips, so I think that Reddy might be a better choice. Strawberry Fields is amazing, bright and sheer, it's much warmer on me though. You might also consider Bitten, it's slightly warmer than Reddy but not as opaque.

Not really helping, I know...

Cerise would be ideal but it seems it may have been discontinued... :(

Reddy is not cool toned. I'd say Atomic (cool toned) or Bitten (neutral), or both .

Reddy is not cool toned. I'd say Atomic (cool toned) or Bitten (neutral), or both .

Which is lighter, Atomic or Bitten? I think I may have narrowed it down to those two.

What about Cabernet? Darker?

Oops, cabernet is used to describe Atomic - sorry!

How do Atomic and Bitten compare to the new Strawberry Fields?

I saw a pic of the swatches of Atomic and Bitten next to each other and Bitten looks like a dark pink and Atomic looks more brownish red. Is that how they look in person? Atomic doesn't even look red on my computer.

I can't compare Atomic, but on me Bitten is slightly warmer than Strawberry Fields. Strawberry Fields is doesn't really lean warm or cool on me-not something I find very often! But both are beautiful, sheer, wearable reds!
