    What lipstick colour/color do you prefer?  I have a special reason for asking which I hope will become apparent soon.  For now though, it would be really helpful if you could tell me which is your fave.

     

    Thanks, Katie   x

    Deep burgundy-red for the evenings, a paler more natural lip colour for daytime.
    Specifically, both Clinique Long Last - "Deep Lacquer" and "All Heart".
    Sometimes I get Body Shop  - "Garnet", which is almost the same shade as Deep Lacquer.
    Both brands stay on really well, and the colours work for me.

    I am still exploring - so this answer is subject to change with mood, time of day, event, et al - but at present I like Sky Pink and Stormy Pink mostly for most any time of day - something that is present, noticeable but not overpowering. It says "Yes I am wearing lipstick - so take notice mere mortals" - Just having a moment there, sorry - but I do enjoy this part of the day. : )

    Hi Katie, it's just a question that's impossible to answer. It depends on time of day, the mood you're in, what you're wearing, how sexy you feel etc etc.
    At the moment I like the Maybelline colour stay 24 as it is long lasting and you apply the gloss or matte over the colour. Yet I still have six shades of this and wear them all! If it was for a particular occasion we could be more help to you, xx

    I like the purple shades for me, orange shades don't look right with my skin tone. I have a pale one from Boots 17 range for most times called Marshmallow Whip and an unnamed creamy dark one I use if I'm going for a more dramatic look.

    A fairly natural colour for the daytime and usually something in vairous shades of burgundy or red for the evening, (sometimes with a lip gloss).  I usually use Clinique as they are pretty long lasting.

    Color that doesn’t create any irritation to other is the best lipstick color. I recommend red.
