One caution is that Cherries in the Snow can be really pinkish (because it's on the border between pink and red) depending on your complexion, so if you can find a tube of Revlon Red, do.
Why, yes, I have both.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That's true, Plei; I like the pinky-reds on me so CitSnow is a nice color on me.
Russian Red by MAC is also a nice red for a lot of complexions. I haven't had the chance to play with any of the Chanel's or Dior's ::sob:: but they have some great reds also. Though I hear better things about Dior's texture and stayability.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still haven't worked out what's a good red for high yellow. I mix my no name red (Sephora?) with a brown which I suddenly can't find.

It is, which means if it were about four shades darker, it would be the perfect color for me.

Hi peoples! I've been running around like a crazy person since Wednesday. My designer friend Kambriel and her boy are staying with me while Pete is off in San Diego, and it has been non-stop excitement. Helping backstage at the Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer show, photo shoot, helping at the Jason Webley show ... craziness, I tell you.

ita !, you're gonna want a brick red shade, something with a brown undertone instead of blue -- which, duh, on re-reading your post, you already know. Sorry!
Rouge Dior in Ara Red 999
MAC's New York Apple might also work well. It's not a bright-ass true red, though, but is a bold, deep red.
I'll keep an eye out for other shades.
Jilli, so envious of working backstage for the Gaiman/Palmer event! I hope you had tons of fun!!

Thanks, Erin.
There are two colours I want, but I figure they're for white people only, and even then, only some. A true vamp red, and a naive bubblegum pink. All the reds in the tube look weird on me, as noted, so I have to go different for deep red, and bubblegum pink doesn't make actual sense on my skintone. But I want a colour that has that same psychological associations, and I got shit.

Hey, the lipstick convo reminds me: I don't suppose any of you have a tube of the LE MAC color "Prince Noir" that you don't want, do you?

Nope, Jilli! Sorry!
ita !, yeah, on the pink. It's always gonna have that blue undertone. Nicki Minaj has a lot of yellow in her skin tone and wears a lot of bubblegum pink lips, but she's going for a very OOT, melodramatic look, not a match.
But I think a vamp red is out there! I have made it my life's mission to find it for you! Well, among other things like working and cleaning the house and reading. But whenever I'm at a make-up counter, I will look.
