Finally, I have found not just a red lipstick, but THE red lipstick. Now the saying goes that there is a red lipstick out there for every woman, and every woman has to find her very own shade, but as Multi will tell you I searched high and low and tried many different shades of red lipstick, with no success. Being dark skinned I couldn't just slap on anything and walk out the door. Unlike my fair friends, I had to go a hunt for the perfect red lipstick that wouldn't fight with my skin or make me look silly. Last month I found my ultimate red lipstick, which incidentally is a pencil. Make that TWO pencils. Behold Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils in Dragon Girl and Cruella (Dragon Girl is the brighter red of the two and my favourite.) both $24 (in case anyone else has the same problem and wants to try them out)
