This week, we were taking a look at our lipstick collections and stumbled across a severe lack of suitable reds for the both of us. Even though we had them, we found that what we thought was a simple red lipstick for a classic makeup look turned out to be much more complicated - with pink-based reds, orange-based reds, deep reds, bright reds, matte reds and reds with all different finishes!
And that doesn't even take into account how each of these works with every individual skin tone. Reds which worked for one of us didn't necessarily suit the other!
And so, we thought we would help you all out and post some swatches of our own reds on both of our skin tones so you could see how different they look and let us know which ones you like :)
