So I nearly have given up on trying out red bold lipstick. Why? I already have thick lips so I did not want to have them appear fuller…In my family, fat lips are regarded as ugly…

I originally wanted to try Chanel Dragon as many have placed it as the Queen of all red lipstick.

However, all these have been changed once I watched  Blush Is the New Black on Youtube.

She immediately convinced me to grab Nars Red Lizard! It looks amazing on her lips! Well, it helps that she is gorgeous already!

So, I wore it to shopping this past chilly Saturday.

Here’s Nars Red Lizard on my lips.

At first, the red is overwhelming! I was really not used to such vibrant color on my lips. But after a few stares at the mirror, I slowly adapted and then fell in love with it….

It is majorly a matte finish with a hint of sheen. Therefore, I was afraid it would be very drying. However, this mindset was wrong! Surprising, my lips did not peel at all even in such chilly weather.

I applied this without any lipliner or using a lip brush. I simply applied directly through the tube. The pointy side of the lipstick gives enough control to draw a precise line.

The red appears to be more orange toned on my pictures. However, it really is a true neutral red. The swatch can be viewed in my previous post.

I really love red bold lips now! I’m officially a convert! Please be prepared to receive some stares…which is exactly what happened to me. I don’t know if they were good kinds of stares or bad kinds…but as long I feel comfortable wearing it, it shouldn’t matter!
