MAC Trax Tutorial

I am in the mood to start using more of the makeup that I tend to ignore.....so this is what I did.....

MAC has some amazing shadows but sometimes they seem a little too intimidating for my day to day wear.  I've decided that is enough of that way of thinking!!!  My goal is to try to use my makeup equally and not be scared to try something different.  Join me!!!

Favorite Red Lipsticks (Mostly warm tones)

I LOVE red lipstick on all skin tones.  I think it is because I love that whole style of Old Hollywood Glam.  I prefer to wear more warm tones just because I feel it looks a little better with my yellow undertones.

These are a few of my favorite warm toned red lipsticks:

N.Y.C. Lipstick Sheer Red 309B (.99 cents!!!)

NYX Lipstick in Snow White 569

ELF Mineral Lipstick in Royal Red 6711

Covergirl Outlast Lipstain in 450

Rimmel Lipstick in Bordeaux 124
NYX Matte Lipstick in Alabama 07

Rimmel Lipstick in Temptation 166

These are a few cool toned red lipsticks that I enjoy as well:

Loreal Infallible Lipstick in Refined Ruby 337

Maybelline Lipstick in Very Cherry 635

Tarte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Stain in Fiery

I hope you find this helpful if you are looking for a new red lipstick to try out!
