Lipstick Red | Now we’re talking. A touch of blue in your Bordeaux. This is not fire-engine red or cranberry. It is deeply red. Get ready for leather. |
Pantone says | A deeper, more dramatic sensual red makes its imprint on fall, particularly in cosmetics. |
Priority Item | Renoir Red lipstick from Marilyn Miglin. The original, classic formula in gold. It’s the perfect red for Fall 2010, presented with understated elegance. Still, no matter how great it looks on your lips or fingertips, never ever touch up at the table. |
$ | Start by editing the reds you likely have in hand: Lips, nails, clothing, outerwear, accessories, shoes… Narrow down to the vital few that meet the color expectation, and then stop. If you have no Lipstick Reds in anything, you have permission from The Epaulettes to take a few dollars to the flea market. Have fun, you deserve a great red! |
$$ | If this is your red (like Admiral Tzu), find a new silk blouse or sweater. Remember quality counts, not where you shop or how much you spend. A little sheen or shine is OK, and it will serve you well through the holidays. You are buying red, so this is a highly reusable wardrobe basic. If this is not your red (like Admiral Mu), it is your new pedicure color. |
$$$ | One word: Leather. Perhaps a divine briefcase or journal cover, or a skirt in your perfect shape. Oooohhh…boots! |
$$$$ | It’s time to switch out the rugs. Bring back the antique orientals that are flooded with Persian red. |
Caution | Red is essential, and Lipstick Red is lush. The amount of red in your wardrobe, whether it is on you or around you, must suit you. Be true to your signature style. If it is not your red, don’t force it. |
