14 Days of Ravishing Red! — Day 7: Matte Reddish Nude Lips With Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Ruler

February 8th, 2018 by Karen 12 Comments

Are you ready for 14 Days of Ravishing Red? Stay tuned as we explore ravishing red ? lipsticks, lip liners and glosses every day on our way to ? Valentine’s.

Another starter red for my friends who really want to wear red, but then put a red lipstick on, look in the mirror and immediately blot 95% of it off with tissue before applying a bunch of gloss (I’m talking to you, Kim).

If a rich red is too much for you right now (And if it is, I totally get it. I used to be that way too.), then reddish nude Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Ruler might covert you to #teamredlips.

Remember this glossy nude red from last weekend? Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Ruler has a similar vibe.

It’s… I don’t want to call it demure. It’s more like a wink of red. 😉 It’s the next step after you feel ready to go redder than a light red stain or gloss.

      Hi Breyerchic,

      Oooh, Hot Tahiti. Oldie but goodie. 🙂

      Happy Friday to you, by the way. What are you plans for the weekend?

    Today I was reading Rae review about them and got me intrigued; now you post this and I’m head over heels, I really want to try one after knowing they’re kiss-proof.

    Do you think I can make Ruler work? I mean, I’m still afraid to wear really bold colors outside the house, but if we take in mind I wear some brown or nudes that is easier to know they aren’t my lip color, I think Ruler is subdued enough for me. The more in your face color I have is UD Oil-slick because it really blackens my lips.

    So I want to hear your opinion and if you have another color recommendations I’m open to them.

      Hi Efra,

      I think you could do it, but if you’re still not comfortable with wearing bolder colors in the day, I’d reserve it for a night lippie. Even though this is a “nude” version of red, it still reads as red, if that makes sense. I bet though that you could easily tone it down with any of your nudes or browns. Do a layer of nude/brown lip liner, then this on top. Hmm… I can take a pic for you and send you what it looks like. I have an appointment in just a few (I’m going to do a tour of a preschool for Connor!) but will make a note to do today. 🙂

    like the Stay Mattes they need more colors, not the crazy ones
    I just bought a 2nd one, wonder if that is it?

    and I like your blotting idea

      Blotting is a good way to ease into red. 🙂 Add lots of gloss on top!

    HAHA! I knew immediately that you were talking to me! 🙂 I’m going full on today (with a sheer Black Honey – which barely counts). Ruler is a pretty color! I’ll eventually work up to opaque. Maybe. 😉 PS Happy Friday!!!

      You are so ’90s, I LOVE IT! That was was the stuff back in the day. 🙂

      I have full faith that someday you’ll wear a full-on red. I’m an optimist that way!

    Ooh this might be a good one for me – since I had Sally I never wear red lippie because I never have time to check if it has faded/migrated around my face, nor to touch up the colour. This looks like it would last well & if it faded it wouldn’t be as noticeable.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
