Beauty Buzz: Red Lipsticks For A Sizzling Night Out

You say you can't wear red lipstick? You're wrong: red lipstick comes in shapes and forms for everyone. And with the arrival of summer, there's no time like the present to brighten up your lip look.

Here are two well-known, long-lasting, and flattering shades guaranteed to spice up your life:

Clarins Joli Rouge in Cupid Red ($23): This complexion-brightening matte red has a gel-like formula that moisturizes lips – no joke. It’s lip balm and lipstick in one tube, and it stays put.

image

Lancôme Le Rouge Absolu in Ruby Silk ($26): A dark rose-tinged red that will satisfy any lover of color. The color stays put with absolutely no feathering or bleeding, but if you’re scent sensitive, the smell of this lipstick could be offputting.

And three others that are more off the beaten path, but definitely worth scoping out:

Kryolan Professional LipStick in LF101 ($9.50): This fire-engine red comes from a German company that’s been working with theater, movie, and television professionals for over half a century. Check out the line at Ricky’s, if you’re in NYC, or online. 

VMV Hypoallergenics Lipped Crème ($21) and Lip Bliss ($23): This line might be the best thing you’ve never heard of, especially if you have sensitive lips and skin. VMV has been around for almost 20 years and strives to create cosmetics that are both easy to wear and beneficial for the skin. Try the Lip Bliss in dramatic, pink-red Runway or the more sheer Lipped Crème in the  universally flattering Cranberry Cobbler, which goes cherry-juice pink on the lips.

Beauty Find: Lancome Le Crayon Khol Eyeliner

Lancome Le Crayon eyeliner is an Allure magazine beauty award winner. What: Lancome LE CRAYON KHOL Why: When I'm attempting to conjure up Catherine Zeta-Jones' stunning bedroom eyes, the look I'm going for is "sultry," as opposed to "racoon in your dumpster." I'm the kind of girl who is perpetually running late, who spills coffee on her crisp white shirts, and whose eyeliner always runs outside of her lash lines. I need goof-proof eye makeup, so now I use Lancome's Le Crayon Khol Eyeliner in Black Coffee to accentuate my hazel peepers. Le Crayon Khol glides on and shines like rich ink. It stays put during stressful days at the office and sweaty nights in packed bars. Lancome's wonder liner was voted into Allure Magazine's Beauty Product Hall of Fame. That's quite an honor for a skinny little pencil. If you want your eyes to pop like a Japanese anime character, line them with Le Crayon Khol and then amp up your lashes with DiorShow Mascara.

Best Seller: Lancome Juicy Vernis Nail Gloss

image
What: Lancome Juicy Vernis Nail Gloss, $5-$10

Why: I am always on the hunt for good nail polish. I love getting manicures, but rarely ever find a color that suits me in the salon. I have become one of those women who brings her own nail polish, but only because I came across these Juicy Vernis nail glosses by Lancome.

No, you didn't misread that: nail gloss. I've never been one to sport the really dark shades that come in and out of fashion (I'm just not brave enough), and I think that's why I'm obsessed with these little gems. Instead of coating your nail with an opaque layer of color, the nail gloss gives you more of a tint. The best part is that you can really moderate the intensity of your color — one coat is enough for a little shine, two or three really make the color pop. Plus, this polish isn't thick like the regular kind so it doesn't look like you're wearing press-ons, even after 3 or 4 coats.

So you see, lipstick is to nail polish as lip gloss is to nail gloss. Genius! And in case you’re not already sold, here are two more bonuses: It doesn't stink! Really. They're scented to smell like raspberry, strawberry and honey. Also, it doesn't chip! This might be TMI, but I've had "Lychee" on my toes for over two weeks and my pedi still looks fresh.

Get Yours: The gloss is tough to find in the US, but sellers on eBay generally have a good supply in a variety of colors.

Best Seller: Lancome Le Magnetique Nail Lacquer

What:  Lancome Le Magnetique Nail Lacquer

Why:  I recently fell upon a coveted bottle of Lancome Le Magnetique Nail Lacquer in Bordeaux. Upon first sight, the color is a wonderful mixture of dark, vixenish plum and subtle bronze. It's a stylish reinvention of the hot black shades that are coating the famous fingers of Lindsay Lohan, Hillary Duff, Lauren Conrad, and a cadre of other fashionable celebrities. After all, plum has been touted as "the new black," and, even if black is still the old black, a dark plum nail avoids any association with the Hipsteratti (who originally stole black nail polish from the Goths, who wore the polish to punish their parents).

However, the true amazement is an original creation of famed makeup artist (and wife of Rag & Bone co-founder David Neville) Gucci Westman. She's fashioned a magnetic bottle clip, that, when hovered close to the wet nails, creates a shimmery starburst pattern through its manipulation of iron particles within the polish.

Although I prefer to leave my nailpolish simple and without embellishment, a decorated dark nail is in perfect sync with this season's style. And, besides the magnetic starburst, this nail lacquer has other outstanding attributes. I've long relegated my nail polish purchases to the local Walgreens. And, therefore, I began to accept that all nail polish application is a frustratingly clumpy, uneven, multi-layer pursuit. But the quality of Lancome's Le Magnetique is such that it practically slithers onto your nails. With little effort, an even, seamless coat forms. And, you can totally get away with just the one.    

In a few minutes I had fashionable, vampy nails that would have looked like I came straight from the manicurist…if I weren't such a nail biter.

Get Yours: Although stocks in the main retailers sold out, you can still find this polish on eBay.
