The Russians are Coming...Russian Red that is!

I've always wanted to rock a red lip, but am so addicted to neutrals that it almost never happens. I wore a red lipcolor to my senior prom - a bold move by my 17 year-old self, and it looked fabulous! I was inspired to experiment with the color anew after meeting Chrisette Michele and admiring her amazing makeup job.

I discovered that her shade of the moment is MAC's Lady Danger, and it's a beauty. Well, after coveting her red lip, I just had to make it happen for myself. Luckily for me there was a makeup artist on hand at the event who was on the ready to rouge me up. She used MAC lipstick in Russian Red, and a couple of days later, I got my hands on a tube of my own.

Check me out with my Russian Red lip, lined with Shiseido's Smoothing Lip Pencil.

Rouge it up, y'all! -Zee
