Red lipstick training wheels: Tony Moly Kiss Lover Lipstick in RD03

Every girl needs a bright and sophisticated red lipstick in her purse. However, not everyone has the chutzpah to wear it yet; red lipstick is an idea one needs to grow and nurture in the mind before it debuts in person. :P If you're not ready to wear a full-on red, then I suggest you try on a "training wheel" red like the Tony Moly Kiss Lover Lipstick in RD03.

RD03 is a juicy cherry red that shies from being opaque. It's red, sure, but it's not the scary kind which makes it perfect for those who are just starting to explore the shade.

It's slinky on the lips and a bit moisturizing, but don't expect it to stay put all day. I give it three hours before you need to retouch.

Wearing the lipstick here

Overall, nice stuff. Tony Moly lipsticks are ok, nothing to write home about, but they really know how to choose the right shades.

Since, we're on the topic already, what's your favorite red lipstick? Mine is the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice. :)

My favorite is Revlon's Mulled Wine, which is brick red. I'm not daring enough to wear the full on color on my lips, I just use it to stain my lips after applying balm. For everyday use, I love Etude House's apricot stick.

This is nice Liz! It's red pero not really bloody crimson red at all! Ha-ha! Parang rose-pink bordering to reddish yung dating. LOVETT!

Red lipsticks are my all-time favorite beauty accessory. I'm collecting them right now, and currently my favorites are Avon's Lava Love and Maybelline's Color Sensational Passion Red. :D

AVON red kiss is my current fave. I will purchase MAC Russian Red soon, I'm giddy! :D

MAC Russian red. I already feel so made up even just wearing this lipstick and some blush.

I can say that the best red lippie for beginners is the lady bug from mac. It's a sheer bright orangey red that really suits asian skin.

I love red lipsticks! My favorite of all is MAC's Russian Red because it's so sophisticated and glamorous. I use it lotsa times :)

Mine is Mary Kay Red Salsa :)

ah red lipsticks! I can't seem to pull it off. I feel like people might view me as intimidating when I wear one. But anyway, so far, the best shade of red lipstick I've found is Nyx's Snow White.

I also have MAC Russian Red, but the bluish undertone doesn't seem to match my skin.

My favourite is NYX Round Lipstick in Pure Red. :)

I like this shade, it looks more of the light version of fire and ice to me. I love MAC Russian red but only wear it when I don't want to file on make-up. It brightens my face even if I wear it alone.

I don't have red lipstick. I've never had the courage to try.. until I've read your article. I'm excited! :)

I'd like to ask if you know any bright red lipsticks. (like Mac Russian Red). But i need a drugstore brand or any less pricey one since I'll just be using it once. :)
