If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I’ve been wearing a lot more red in my selfies than normal. The reason? This baby right here. I’ve found my winter red y’all. 

Released earlier this Summer, the Exclusive Reds collection comes in four different shades of red that are supposed to match all, if not most, skintones, depending on the celebrity whose skin tone it is. I picked up Liya’s shade; a somewhat matte cherry red with a creamy/velvet finish. Up until now, I firmly believed that only blue based reds would suit my skintone, however I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how intense the pigmentation is, as well as how well it compliments my skin! 

I’ve found that the shade lasts about a good 4-5 hours before reapplication. Even though it’s labelled as matte, I would compare it more to a MAC creamsheen than anything as it does have that slight glossy edge to it.

The L’Oreal Colour Rich Lipsticks are available online and in Boots now!
