Self Service Issue #45
A Red Lip
This holiday season I’m inspired by the matte, red lip color in this picture from Self Service issue #45—it just looks so right.

The model’s blue eyes, red lips, lovely freckled skin, and the fur make for a stunning combination!
Love this look. I personally cannot pull this one off!
I can’t put off such a strong look but I CAN do the blotted-away-to-almost-nothing version!
Gorg!! Did they mention which shade was used in the magazine? I’m going to wear this for the holiday season!!
Flawless!
It looks beautiful on her. I have occasionally worn a very red lip for a photograph, which looks good, but it doesn’t in person. Curious if anyone else has tried that, or has a similar experience?
Matte is perfect for red. Many nice shades of red out there. Some bright orangy red, some more burgundy red, some more cherry red. Whatever suits your skin color, matte is the best bet because glossy red tends to look too pouty, too look at me, but matte does not, while still calling attention. Mac has a lovely one that suits many skin tones: Lady Danger – to me it looks the shade above.
