For a long time, I shied away from red lipstick. As a dark-skinned woman, I worried red would look too clownish with my skin tone. So, I stuck with safe colors - burgundy and corals. But, I finally found a red that would add to my retro/vintage look and compliment my skin tone! And, in a most unexpected place - Wal-Mart!
#5016 Eldorado Red
I was prepared to venture to the mall and spend big bucks finding the perfect red for darker skin. But, while browsing the makeup aisles at Wal-Mart, came across Black Radiance cosmetics. At only $1.72 each, I bought several tubes of lipstick to test out. I found the red lipstick of my dreams with "Eldorado Red". It has great coverage - I don't even use liner with this lipstick. And, you can't beat the price!
Smooches! xoxo

Awesome, looks great! I don't think we have Black Radiance in the stores around here anymore. I've also heard that using brown lip liner helps the make the red lip "blend" more. Lilpumpkinpie05 (or something like that) on Youtube talks a lot about makeup techniques.
ReplyDeleteThat red looks great on you! You should make it your signature color.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking to expand my red collection. I will definitely look for this in stores since it looks so nice on you! You should also try Kate Moss' Rimmel matte lipstick in color 106. I am so sure that it would look divine on you!
