Seven Shades of Red With Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs released his new formula of Le Marc Lip Creme lipsticks which consists of twenty different shades. The formula is semi matte and highly pigmented with very good lasting power but made to feel comfortable on the lips and never drying. 

When you’re looking for your perfect red lipstick you have two options when it comes to the tones, a cool toned or a warm toned red. Depending on your skin tone some red shades will suit you more and some less. Also when picking your perfect red you have to consider the color of your hair.

For me I like all types of reds. I have to admit that I lean towards orange reds the most but I do like a classic cool toned red in the winter months.

In the new Le Marc Creme lipstick collection there are shades of reds for everyones taste, starting from a nice orange red to a dark vampy red with a touch of berry that’s perfect for fall/winter.

I received *seven shades from the collection: Oh Miley (described as strawberry spice), Je T’aime (rum raspberry), Core Cora (brilliant coral), Rei of Light (toasted brick), Goddess (deep maraschino), Miss Scarlet (deep ruby) and Blow (dark berry velvet).

If your skin tone is warm (golden or apricot undertones) Marc Jacobs recommends couple of red shades, he also divides the shades by the color of your hair:

Blonde, Silver or Red Hair, stick with light reds, cool blue reds and avoid plum and berry reds. The shades that he recommends are Oh Miley and Je T’aime.

Brunette or Black hair, go with bright and blue reds and avoid orange reds. Two shades that would be perfect for you are Goddess and Blow.

If you have a cool undertone (pink or rosy) he also has some tips how to pick your perfect red.

Blonde, silver and red hair, go with punchy and coral reds and avoid brown reds. The shades that he recommends are Core Cora and Goddess.

For brunettes or black hair, go with tomato and rusty reds and avoid bright berry reds. Two shades that would be perfect for you are Rei of Light and Miss Scarlet.

You can see different tones of red on me and how they suit me. The shade guidance is just to help you understand where to start if you don’t know what shade of red suits you but you can always stray away and be adventurous and try something new.

What’s your favorite type of red lipstick?
