Regardless of how you’ll be celebrating (or not-celebrating) Valentine’s Day, women everywhere seem to go on the quest for the ultimate red lipstick.
To help you wade through the masses, I’ve come up with a Bionic Red Lipcolor Roundup that has a little something for everyone…
elf's Cherry Bomb lip gloss
For the budget-conscious, and just a twinge of redness- e.l.f. cosmetic’s $1 Candy Shop lip gloss in Cherry Bomb.
L'Oreal Colour Juice lip stick in Cherry Freeze
Love haunting the drugstore beauty aisles? L’Oreal Colour Juice Stick in Cherry Freeze is a cool-toned red that can go on super sheer, or be layered for a much deeper red.
CG's OutLast lip stain in Berry Smooch
If your V-day plans involve kissing the night away, a lip stain is the only way to go. It’ll last and there’s virtually no transfer. Affordable and accessible suggestions- Cover Girl’s OutLast lip stain marker in Berry Smooch, or Sonia Kashuk’s lip and cheek stain in Sheer Bliss (at Target stores), or Revlon’s Just Bitten lipstain marker in Goth. Top the lip stains with a lip balm or gloss for shine and moisture.
Chinatown Thriller "liquid" pencil by Lipstick Queen
Ease of application and superior moisture – Lipstick Queen’s Glossy Pencil in Chinatown Thriller combines lipstick and lip pencil in one. The chunky, stylish black pencil applies like a dream. It’s quite sheer, but can be layered with a few coats for a richer color; and unlike most pencils, it will not dry out your lips!
Bette lipstick by Three Custom Color
Three Custom Color’s Bette lipstick was named after the powerful and passionate character on TV’s “The L Word”. It has a slightly warm tone: a classic creamy tomato red. Killer Heat is another absolutely perfect sheer red by Three Custom Color!
Whatever color you choose, remember to take your skin’s undertones into consideration. If you’re a warm toned individual (yellow or olive tones), stick with reds that have a orange or neutral base. For cool skinned women (blue or even rosy undertones), look for berry or blue based reds. However if the lip color is sheer, it’ll usually work for any skin tone!
Happy V-day, Bionic Beauties! I’m sending virtual hugs to you all.

Thanks BB!!
Thank You !!! They all look so nice !
We miss you ! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Joycey !
Pretty colors! Ladies, remember to whiten those teeth before wearing red lipstick!
I like the last color, Bette, the most. Have never seen the tv show, but the color’s faboo. But to me, it looks like it’s almost a pinkish tone. Maybe it’s just my old eyes. LOL I forget, is Three Custom Color pricey? Or fairly reasonable. Yeah, I know — Google them and find out, Tashi.
If I recall, Jami really favors that brand.
It’s been 3 whole months!!!! Come back and post please
