Battle of the reds....

Near the very beginning of me starting my blog I posted a battle of the nudes and thought it was high time I posted a Battle of the reds. I have five red lipsticks to battle out, from MAC to MUA, so without further ado let the battle commence:

* Natural collection 'Crimson' £1.99 - Started to fade after around 2 hours. Smooth application. Not drying on the lips. Didn't bleed

* Maybelline 'passion red' - Lasted around 2 and a half hours. Very creamy, glossy finish. Not drying on the lips. Did start to bleed pretty much straight away. Difficult to apply without a brush. Does smudge

* MUA shade 13 £1.00 - Bright red when fist applied, doesn't bleed. Does smudge a little. Not drying on the lips. Started to fade after 2 and a half hours. Turned into more of a raspberry red

* Collection lasting colour 'valentine' £2.99 - Bright red. Smooth to apply. Isn't drying on the lips. Lasted 3 hours and started to fade slightly

* MAC 'viva glam Cyndi' £13.50 - Very sheer but buildable. Perfect for those who want a not so out there red lip. Very creamy and moisturising. Lasted around an hour

* Most pigmented - Natural collection 'crimson', Maybelline 'passion red', MUA 'shade 13' and Collection 'valentine'

* Least pigmented - MAC viva glam Cyndi

* Best staying power - Collection 'valentine'

* Least staying power - MAC viva glam Cyndi

* Truest red - Maybelline 'passion red'

Winner - Collection 'Valentine'
