what's your favorite besame red and why?

I had a makeup disaster recently and I'm starting 100% from scratch -- and using the opportunity to try new stuff. An awesome friend gifted me some besame and I confess I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the reds; I rarely wear it and don't know where to start. I've got (in full or sampler size): Red Velvet; Besame Red; Cherry Red; Red Hot Red; Red Velvet; Merlot; and Carmine. ( I have a light, warm, slightly yellowish complexion. And I admit that most days I'll be wearing one of the more neutral shades I got -- Dusty Rose or Debutante Pink).

Which ones do you like? Where should I start?

I really like Besame red, myself.  It's a nice punchy colour and looks great on everyone I've seen try it, regardless of complexion.  The texture's great, and it's got serious staying power.  You're lucky to have a great friend to gift you such awesome product! ;)

I am so lucky - I know! ^_^ Thanks for the advice, I think I'll try that one first!

Good tips, thanks! I expect these won't be day shades for me in any case. Sounds like Besame Red is a good starting point for me but I'm definitely going to try Red Velvet next -- that one looks great.

So the first picture is natural brows. The second is with the left brow done. What I'm asking you ladies is some critic on it as I've never actually done my brows before I don't want to look silly. Continue
