Some girls swear by their version of the perfect red lipstick. For others, a great red lippie is hard to find. Red lipsticks oftentimes appear too orange, too bright, too pink, too bold, or simply not right for our complexion. For that reason, many girls (myself included) shy away from red lipstick, convinced that they will never find a red hue to flatter their complexion.

Shu Uemura may have created the answer to our dilemma! Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Red Collection is what the line calls a “new range of complexion-flattering red shades.” The star of the collection is the shade RD165, which is a completely neutral true red lipstick.

RD165 is supposed to complement all complexions -- from light to dark -- and its neutrality means that there’s no orange, pink, or blue tint to offset the trueness of this red. RD165 and the rest of the lipsticks from Shu’s Rouge Unlimited Red Collection are vivid shades with high pigment and true color payoff. These lipsticks have a smooth, rich texture which softens the lips. The lipsticks also contain an 8-hour moisture shield with nutrients and minerals for optimal comfort.

Ladies, if you haven’t found your perfect red, try RD165 from Rouge Unlimited Red Collection to see if the Shu fits!
