a. i'm half asian, so i have a yellowish tint to my skin - so finding the right color would be a challenge
b. i have huge lips, seriously
c. my husband thinks red lipstick is the most hideous thing invented in the makeup world
after much google-ing (i would seriously be lost without that search engine), i came across cover girls make up match tool to find out what would compliment my skin tone (you'll see why i took this quiz). my shade result was 'warm' - whatever the crap that means. so then i went back to google and searched for 'red lipstick for warm undertones'. with the help of google, i came to the conclusion that anything along the lines of 'fire engine red' would look good. anyhow, i went to good ol' walmart (bc the closest MAC for me is about 45 mins away & walmart has a wider selection than drug stores) and picked out RIMMELS new lasting finish by kate lipstick in rossetto/rouge 01. let me tell you, i am SO happy with that lipstick. SO happy. i LOVE IT. the only thing i don't like about it is that it gets everywhere. is that a common problem with colored lipstick? i don't know because this is my first time using it. i would like to say that i went to MAC and tried on ruby woo. what a disappointment. i hated the way it felt applying it. it didn't glide on. the texture to me was weird, and i'm pretty big on textures. just FYI, i use MAC's NC40 during winter/early spring when i don't have a tan, and L'oreal's true match in buff beige n4. i took this pic with my iphone & the quality is a bit low but it's pretty much the true color of the actual lipstick.
