Although women of color generally are able to "carry" more color and can do bold lips and eyes (i.e. smokey eye AND red lip). That said, I usually stick with neutral eyes (taupe color, eyeliner and mascara) if I'm doing a red lip. Sid has completely inspired me today and I'm wearing the closest thing I have to Vamp -- MAC Diva lipstick (blotted) with MAC Fanplastico lip lacquer on top.

So that reason, I find red lipstick somewhat a tricky color to wear.

I actually kinda halve the color potency by applying to my top lip and then blotting the pigment onto the bottom by pinching my lips together. Then I actually also blot with tissue, so that could be the diffence. If I were to go full-strength on this it would be a lot darker, I think. I haven't tried the Glossimer, though. Maybe when I haul myself out of debt (okay, return my account to its former splendor) I'll get some. I would think the Vamp would be gorgeous on you, so you should def. give it another go.

But Chanel rocks, especially the Glossimers. I love reds on my big ass mouth and I'm always in search of the perfect one. I might have to give Vamp another look-see!

Happy day to you, too! CG: It is actually Chanel Rouge Hydrobase in Vamp. I got it in Chicago on the last trip, and I fretted a bit over spending $55 on my lips (stick+liner), but then I put it on and my doubts were no more. :D It is the only red I own, because I have a big-ass mouth and red only highlights that fact. But lemme tell ya, if you're only going to own one, this is the way to go! Saff: I’ve decided to spend my dough on champagne! Happy day to you, too!

I'm thinking it's a MAC or NARS color but I can't place it. It's gorgeous. I think I have every red MAC makes and I still don't think I have a color that looks that nice on me. Spill it!
