Today in the News, Jouer Has Discovered the Perfect Red Lip!

If you answered “F. All of the above,” DING-DING-DING-DING-DING! — you are correct. 🙂 There is such a thing as a perfect red lip.

Just ask Jouer.

Jouer Perfect Red Collection 2013
The Perfect Red collection includes two Lip Glosses ($20 each) and five Lipsticks ($22 each)

Of course, said perfect red lips aren’t necessarily easy to find (it took me years!), but indie brand Jouer thinks they have some good leads, and they’ve put them in their new Perfect Red Collection.

I really like Jouer… They’re a small-ish brand out of SoCal, and I’ve been following them for a few years. If you like Kate Spade’s vibe — chic, sweet, feminine and fun, but not overtly frilly or afraid to wear color — I think you’ll like ’em, too.

Perfect Red’s premise is that you’ll be able to find your perfect red amongst the five lipsticks and two glosses in the collection. There are reds for cool skin tones, warm skin tones and a neutral shade that should suit most everyone. If you like pounds of pigment, go for one of the lipsticks, but if you like sheer shades on your lips, grab a gloss. Jouer even created a convenient flowchart to help you decide.

I have warm coloring, but I’ve tried all seven of these shades, and I have to say, I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of any of them. Yeah, the guidelines help, but I think the seven pieces are flexible and flattering enough to work with most skin tones.

Here are some general guidelines (but definitely not strict rules).

For warm skin tones…

For cool skin tones…

Simone Lipstick, a brilliant true red for cool-toned brunettes
Jouer Riviera Lip Gloss, a sheer, shimmery true red that flatters cool skin tones

For all skin tones…

Jouer Ava Lipstick, a blood orange, a neutral that works with both warm and cool toned gals of any hair color
Ava Lipstick, a blood orange neutral for warm- or cool-toned gals of any hair color

And you can safely skip lip liner with either of the glosses because they’re very sheer (they also come with a doe-foot, WOOT!), but with the lipsticks, yeah, you’ll probably want to use one (I like MAC’s Pro Longwear Lip Pencils).

As for the lipstick formula, ahhh… The creamy, hydrating lipsticks hug my lips like these lipsticks from Edward Bess (which feel so great). I like the lot of ’em, but my faves are Lana, Grace and Sophia.

I can’t wait to try them with cat eye liner…

The $22 Lipsticks and $20 Lip Glosses are available now online and at Jouer counters in select Nordstrom and Henri Bendel stores.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Ava looks perfect! I don’t fit right into warm or cool, and am a redhead, maybe that’s why!

    Lana and Sophia are my favorites too! For the life of me, i can’t decide whether i am warm or cool toned! Both gold and silver look equally good on me, blue and coral are just equally flattering… i have decided that i am neutral ;).

    Funny thing is that just because i am of medium skin color, lot of people at makeup counters automatically label me as warm toned! I am always amused while buying makeup when the they suggest me to not pick berry/plum/fuchsia hued lipcolors, i go ahead and ask to try those anyway, and they end up commenting “Oh that surprisingly works so well on you, never knew it would work on a warm toned girl”. He he. Story of my life. Ditto for silver baubles.

    This concept reminds me a lot of when Hourglass did their series of nudes, I wonder why they never did a red collection, too?

    Love that pic of you, Karen! I’m a redhead but I tend toward cool so I am always torn about which shade is right for me. I guess Ava that is very pretty. But I am drawn to Simone. A trip to Nordstrom is in order 🙂

    I’d love to have ‘Ava’. My daughter’s name is Ava, so it would be a nice little keepsake to save for her.

    FLOWCHART? I love this company just for that. #NerdChic

    Monaco looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been wanting a sheer red, and the Fresh lip balm in Passion has the right idea but is lacking in shine….

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).
