I follow Dita Von Teese on Twitter because my best friend is good friends with her ex-costumer and I think she has amazing matte, red lips. On Twitter, she frequently spills her beauty secrets so I thought it would be fun to share her favorite red lipstick shades (singer Gwen Stefani also loves the two M.A.C. shades listed here). Full disclosure: Von Teese is a M.A.C. Viva Glam representative:
Russian Red by M.A.C. is a favorite of Von Teese's and just so happens to be the red lipstick Madonna wore in the 90s when she did her Blonde Ambition tour. It's a rich, matte color that will stay on your lips for hours longer than creamy lipsticks. She talked about it on SFGate.com in 2007 (read the interview): "I wear the lipstick on my non-red-lipstick days, or when I want to be incognito at yoga class."
M.A.C.'s Ruby Woo is another favorite. You can still get it online or at M.A.C. stores. Like Russian Red, this matte lipstick will stay on your lips for hours. To keep it from getting too dry, apply gloss over it.
Guerlain's KissKiss Exces de Rouge is pricier, but is a perfect red for women with pale skin and pink undertones.
