Same Lipstick, Different Women

Rahel in Bright Red

Lipstick: Makeup Forever in “Rouge Artist Intense”

Rahel says: “This is my favorite lip color. It looks very sexy and creates a very dramatic lip. With this color, I could wear less eye makeup.”

The expert says: “Again, this is too bright, and has too many blue undertones. Rahel has warm undertones of yellow and peach, and should look for a color with warmth. I suggest NARS’ Shanghai Express , $24 — it’s a warm brick red, more terracotta in color, or NARS’ Fire Down Below, $24, is a great shade since it has no blues or yellow undertones, just a neutral base,” says Nemes.

Final score for the bright red: 2 yesses, 2 nos.
