The Classic Red Lip | Illamasqua Sangers Lipstick
I rarely wear a bold lip, I am not one for making a statement with my make-up. I much prefer the natural, toned down look. However, when I do choose to go wild, I do love a good red lippy. I recently picked up Illamasqua Sangers Lipstick, described as a blood red. Surprisingly creamy in comparison to other matte lipsticks I own from this brand, it glides onto even my dry lips like a dream. It doesn’t stick in any lines and settles really smoothly, leaving a gorgeous matte finish that doesn’t crack or dry out your lips further. I would say this red would be suitable for most skin tones, especially those with porcelain skin, as it is a very striking colour. If you want more of a blue toned lipstick, stick with MAC Ruby Woo.
My eyes look ridiculously blue when wearing this, and I much prefer to have the rest of my make-up fairly neutral so that the lipstick can steal the show. I know we are moving into Spring and we are all about minimal make-up, pink lipsticks and blue liners right now, but I will always have a little room in my make-up bag for a classic red.

This is gorgeous! Perfect for summer and so bold and bright. I’ve never tried Illamasqua lip products before but I think I need to get my hands on this xx

This lipstick was the first thing I ever saw from Illamasqua! I was watching Julia Graf’s YouTube channel years ago, and was absolutely in love with this shade! Still haven’t picked it up actually, but this was a pleasant reminder – looks beautiful on you!

Sangers looks gorgeous on you, I actually have it myself but I never think red looks that good on me! I should give it another go though because it’s a gorgeous colour and like you said, the formula is so good!

OMG!!! It looks great! You should embrace bold lips. I’m yet to try Illamasqua but I might give it a go after this!!
My favourite red lippies are 1. Rouge Allure in Passion by Chanel 2. Pleasure Me Red by Maybelline and 3. Color Drama in Red Essential by Maybelline too!

That looks incredible! Red doesn’t suit me enough to splurge on a lipstick at the moment but that sure is tempting!

I have a couple of Illamasqua lipsticks with the matte formula (that thankfully I’ve won rather than bought) and I just can’t wear them at all, they’re far too dry for me. I find the Glamore formula much easier to wear but to be honest I still don’t really reach for that lipstick either x

This shade was in a recent You Beauty Discovery Box! Although I’m terrified of red lips, I thought it would be a classic shade to keep in my stash for when the time comes to brave it! xx
