For sure its Illamasqua 'Box', although I have to say that my personal second place would go to M.A.C 'Ruby Woo'.

I forgot about Maybelline Red Reivival! It's amazing... more like an expensive lipstick. I love it. I had to go to two or three stores to find it.

Purple Diamonds from Maybelline. It's not red red red, but a lovely Purpley red.

It was a universally flattering blackebrry tinted shea butter from l'Occitane which they discontinued for no apparent reason!

I just bought Maybelline Color Sensational in Red Revival and it really impressed me. Great color, smooth texture and not drying. I look forward to wearing it when I want a brighter red. It was a bit difficult to track down, however! My old standby is a discontinued dark blue-based red with a lot of moisture, and I still haven't found a suitable replacement.

This has always been a bit tricky for me. I'd describe my skin as light olive so while it's in the warm family it's also on the light side, so I'm never sure if I'm cool- or warm-toned, but my skin has more yellow undertones than pink. Soo my go-to reds are MAC Dubonnet and NYC Sheer Red. :) Brick reds for me!

MAC's Russian Red. Unbeatable. Perfect for my pale and rosy Irish skin.

Hoooboy, this is going to be quite the list! MAC lipstick in Russian Red (the classic) MAC Lady Danger (for a more retro look), Brave Red (more wearable), and Port Red (the best red EVER!) BE Buxom lipstick (pencil thingy) in Barcelona NARS lipgloss in Bloodwork Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Dragon - seriously, it is amazing! And for those days when I want to wear red but don't want to look high maintenance, Lipstick Queen Medieval lip treatment!
