Get Reddy Series Part 2

As I mentioned in an earlier post. Nothing speaks femininity, polish, and panache...like a red lip. Psssst... I'm going to let you in on a favorite of beauty bloggers, makeup artists, and makeup aficionados or aficionadas .....whatever! It's called Sheer Red by NYC cosmetics and its ridiculously cheap. It retails at Target or Walmart for around a Dollar and it looks like a million! It looks so fantastic and luxe its almost criminal...  so just get over its cheapie packaging. Don't look at it! Crush it up into a pretty palette or keep squirreled away in your purse and apply it stealthily.


As you can see, it is what I call an easy red. Not too bright, deep, garish or heavy looking. A matte red mouth can be a little aging and we all want to avoid that. It is soft...if a red can be described in those terms. It has a lovely,moist, sheer texture hence its name. I lightly lined after application of the lipstick with another fave of mine Rimmel lip liner in 057 Ravish. Lining after helps to prevent the dreaded ring around the lip look when the lipstick begins to wear off. The lip liner is pictured in the thin line to left of the juicy Sheer Red. I get about 3 hours of wear without having to reapply but at this price who cares?
