Top 5 red lipsticks for any skin tone

Top products

top 5 reds

Many women don’t have the confidence to wear a red lippy: some think they’re far too bright, while others would rather stick to a safer option. But, a good red lipstick can easily transform your look and give you that extra va va voom!

Here are the five red lipsticks that I think stand out above all the rest (well, above the one’s I have tried anyways!):

Rimmel Moisture Renew Red Alert
This affordable red lipstick is definitely a must-try. Not only does it instantly add glamour to your look, but it also keeps your lips pretty moisturised – it really is a great steal for the money! PRICE: €6.99, Boots

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture
If you want to treat yourself to something special, then this is red lippy will do the trick. It’s intense, seductive and passionate – it basically has everything a red lipstick should have! PRICE: €33.00, Debenhams

No 7 Love Red
If you like a vibrant red with a long lasting finish, then No7 Love Red would be worth a try. It has a slightly matte finish so it stays put even after a few glasses of wine! PRICE: €12.75, Boots

NARS Jungle Red
I don’t think I’ve ever come across someone with a bad review of this product.  This semi matte lippy is pretty easy to apply and it also has everlasting power – perfect for the 50’s pinup look. PRICE: €26.00, Nars Cosmetics

Ruby Woo by MAC
This will always be my number red lipstick. I genuinely think it’s one of those shades that suits the majority of skin tones! Have a look at the full review of this lipstick here.

How to find the right foundation

How To

the right foundation

Searching for the right foundation may prove to be a rather stressful experience and more often than not, the foundation people do end up with aren’t completely satisfactory and in some cases women just settle for something they think  ‘will do’ not knowing that there are better options out there for them.

Luckily for you, you don’t have to be as unfortunate as others! you get to have your foundation especially picked out to suit your needs.
How?
With the help of Poppy, a personalised foundation search tool used to find the perfect foundation for your skin exclusively! I know they say ‘when something is too good to be true it’s probably not’,well I kid you not , this time around  it’s more than just true, it’s a dream come true! visit www.beauty.ps and see for yourself.
On the first page of this website a cute pink button that reads ‘let’s begin’ will tempt you to click it.
Once you finally give in to this temptation (which you will) , you will be asked to enter your name and email address before the magic begins…..
the right foundation
As you can see, Poppy welcomes you in a rather sophisticated manner, she will then ask you a series of questions regarding your skin tones, your skin type and what kind of coverage you’re looking for.
In the end, a summary of your details will be shown to you. This is needed in order to maximize Poppy‘s search (as well as confirming the info you entered, you could always go back if you have to change something) 
By letting the expert know which foundations you’ve already tried and by rating these foundations, Poppy will be in a better position to pick out the right foundation!
After completing these simple steps, you will then be given the names of the recommended foundations for you, here’s a look at mine:
the right foundation
These were the lucky three that made it to the finish line for me, I tried a sample of them and found each to be great,  but the gold medal would definitely have to go to Laura Mercier. It is by far my favorite!
Now with the debs coming up, this would be a great tool to use to help you achieve that flawless Kim Kardashian  finish! Introduce yourself to Poppy and be the belle of the ball!
For those of you who will try this out, feel free to tweet me your results, would love to know how you get on!
Thanks for reading this post.
