The Red Lipstick to Rule Them All!

September 21st, 2022 by Karen 15 Comments

Chef’s kiss to this perfect red lippie!

I know I’ve been talking about Dior 999 lately, but dang, it really is that good! It’s kiss proof, mask proof, transfer proof… Basically life proof!

I didn’t realize this the last time I mentioned it, but there are a few different versions of this particular color. The one that you want is in the Rouge Dior Forever formula, which is $42. It’s the ultra pigmented matte version which feels light on lips and lasts FOREVER.

Dior 999 is mostly neutral red with a touch of orange, so it leans of the warm side, but it doesn’t have so much orange that it goes into MAC Lady Danger territory.

It’s classic and timeless, and you could wear it all year ’round. It’s SO GOOD! Seriously, give it a try.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      Here’s the thing! You need so very little of it. It’s so pigmented, and once it’s on and will not budge. You won’t have to retouch!

      (At least that’s my justification, hahaha.)

        😁 That color is awesome on you too! I would probably go for more of a nude-pink so I could wear it every day! Oh gosh now I’m browsing the colors!

    Curious if you’ve tried the Mattetrance lipsticks from Pat McGrath? Not a big fan of mattes, but hers are SUPER pigmented and last for a good while without being drying.

    God that’s such a beautiful red. I can’t do blue or pink reds.

    It is such a beautiful color! I do prefer satin formulas though, I have yet to find a matte one that really isn’t drying.

      Hey G! I just haven’t had the chance to approve the comments. Sorry for the delay. Work has been bananas lately, and Thursday and Friday I was pretty much out of commission because I got a Covid booster that kicked the crap outta me. Thanks so much for the tip, and have a great weekend!

      OK, I see what happened… I have you previously in the comments as Gail and for some reason the new handle, “G,” wasn’t going through. As Tabs used to say, “It’s all gravy!”

    Your skin looks AMAZING! Are you wearing foundation? If yes, please share the brand and shade…please. Or if not, then a skin care regimen. 🙂
