In my opinion, nothing can brighten up a dark and cold winter day better than a red lip color. One of my favorite shade of red is Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in RD301. This one is so popular in Vietnam that it's often sold out in the stores. I finally got hold of it when I travelled to Hong Kong last summer.
And this is how it looks like on my bare face (sorry for my hormonal acnes T-T):
With one coat, it's a pinkish red but if you layer it on, it'll be a bright red. One thing I dislike about this is that it fades unevenly and leaves red stains in the center of my lips. This may look good on other people, but for me, it just looks like my lips are bleeding. As I drink water quite often, it'll fade after about 3 hours. After reapplying, my lips feel a little bit dehydrated (but not dry), but it can be fixed by applying a clear gloss on top. However, if you have dry and chapped lips, make sure to wear a lip balm beforehand. I often use Bifesta Cleansing Gel - my holy-grail makeup remover to take it off completely.
Pros:
- Beautiful color
- Last for a decent amount of time
- Affordable
Cons:
- Fade unevenly
- May not be suitable for people with dry lips
Repurchase?: No, just because I've never purchased the same lipstick twice :)
