This is as close as I could get today since I didn't really plan well for this challenge. Ignore the crap behind me, it's mostly shoes and clothes that I still need a place for.
ditzydi. I get the bleeding with red lipstick too. I have the issue with my MAC Ruby Woo and Russian Red. I was told to try a liner and it really helps. The SA at MAC suggested Their liner in Cherry. It works really well and matches those colors great.
@smorriso amazing your hubby got you those! I've heard great things about that line of lipsticks from NARS. I may have to give it a whirl. I'm eyeing a berry color they have for fall. Also- you wear a red lip and winged liner better than anyone I know!

Thank you! I have Bette - which is a darker berry color, but beautiful. Charlotte looks like a lighter but still berry option.
Yes! Charlotte is the one I was eyeing! I saw it online and on a blog and am planning to swing into Sephora this weekend to try it out. It's got some sheen to the formula right? It doesn't look matte online.
Also @smorriso are you strictly lipstick or do you wear pigmented glosses as well? Looking for a berry and a pretty red gloss rec.
aak0517 - I have the Bite Beauty Cashmere Lip Creams, they're really pigmented. I find that glosses tend to be messier in general. So with bright lips, I normally stick with lipstick.
I've heard really great things about the Too Face Melted liquid lipsticks and Stila's Stay All Day liquid lipsticks. The Stila brand gets a bit more press from what I've seen. Atlantic Pacific wears Beso all the time. They really do stay on. I've swatched them. I want Beso, but then I have 5 red lipsticks. I have a hard time buying it with that in mind.
This is really great information. I've seen Beso on AP and love how it looks on her! I saw a Laura Mercier gloss in a pretty plum color posted on the same blog that I saw NARS Charlotte on. So I may test that out when I'm in store. I like glosses but my issues with them lately is that so many of them have glitter in them and I hate that. I like solid colors without glitter and it also makes it feel grainy on my lips and that drives me nuts.
