14 Days of Ravishing Red! — Day 6: Bright Reddish Coral Lips With MAC Relentlessly Red Lipstick

February 6th, 2018 by Karen 15 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.

When I say the words, “red lipstick,” and I picture a tube of a righteously redolent red, I don’t picture matte pink or coral. I picture a raucous rouge. Of course. But that’s why shades like MAC Relentlessly Red are so fun and interesting — because they don’t just fall into the basic, run-of-the-mill red category.

Relentlessly Red is red…but just barely, because it’s infused with mucho coral.

Even though it’s bold and bright, it’s not a scary scarlet. I still think of it as a “starter” red because of the coral. It’s a lighthearted, playful lippie that looks equally cute with smoky eyes or bare lids with loads of mascara. I fell in love with it last summer, and it’s seen pretty steady action on my pout ever since!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    It is a lovely red shade indeed, and it looks exceptionally good with smokey eyes like that.

    Your 14 days of red have me wearing a red lip today Karen! I am wearing Stila stay all day liquid lipstick in Fiery.

    I have loved all your red lip looks so far. I really like your coral/red lip today.

      Hi Nyxx,

      Sending you a virtual high five in red lipped solidarity! How are you liking the Stila liquid lipstick? I tried it but it was a little drying on me.

    Relentlessly red is my go to lipstick. And I swear every time I go to the MAC counter my little girl immediately grabs the tester and says I should get it, like I don’t have 3 tubes already stashed in different places. Absolutely love this color

      Metta, your baby has great taste! Awww. Connor Claire is already grabbing lipsticks around the house… And she’s barely even 2!

      What shades do you typically like to wear with Relentlessly Red? I find it goes with SO many MAC classics!

    Is there even a lip color that doesn’t suit you? This pink is dangerous on me- I probably look cheap with it lol- you on the other hand look most elegant with it!!! ??????

    This is my favorite lipstick of all time! It’s my go-to when I need a confidence boost. I’ve been through more than half a tube, which is a lot considering how little I need to reapply. Glad to see it getting some love!

      Hi Katie,

      It’s SUCH a good red. When you wear it, what do you usually pair it with? Blush, eyeshadow, etc.?

        I wear this shade a ton in the summer, and what I usually do is a natural, perfected base, some glossy highlighter, and nothing else. It’s always so much harder than it sounds to make it look like you’re not wearing foundation while still eliminating redness! And I’m getting better about letting some redness peek through on the day-to-day, but not with this look. Maybe I’ll do the barest hint of contour, and a light bronzer only for nighttime/parties, but I definitely won’t wear mascara, liner, or eyeshadow, and usually only a tinted or clear brow gel. I think that makes the pop of color super modern-looking. I do that with bright orange-reds too. It’s probably the only makeup look I do that doesn’t involve massive quantities of blush!

    Karen, I have not swatched Relentlessly Red, but I will next time I’m at MAC.

    Now, that aside, the eyeshadow is killing me. Which one is that?

    P/s – Totally loving the 14 Days of Ravishing Red series!

      Girl! Believe it or not it’s not technically an eyeshadow. It’s a mix of two blushes! MAC In Extra Dimension Faux Sure and Sweets for My Sweet.

      P.S. What’s your favorite red?

    I love red corals! My favorite is Maybelline Color Sensational Matte in Craving Coral.

      I still have to get that one! It sounds like something I would love. 🙂 I’m sorry if I’ve asked this before, but does it smell or taste funky?

        Nothing I notice and I hate lipsticks with smells or tastes.

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).
