Lately, we’re sort of obsessed with brick-red lipstick. Everywhere we turn, theres a new shade popping up that makes our head spin and has us breaking out in a cold sweat—like this Estée Lauder Signature Lipstick in Rich Red.

Hilary Rhoda looks beyond fierce in this lipstick. (Add that gold cuff and we’ll bet no one messes with her.)

If Rich Red is not your thing, there’s 23 other lustrous shades to choose from—all packaged in the signature gold tube that we all know and love.

Which color is your signature?

A few Makeup Bag readers want to know which Shiseido The Makeup products were used to create the above look on Patricia Schmid—and we have the answer:

Accentuating Creamy Eyeliner

Eye Shadow Quad Shimmer Q9

Automatic Lip Crayon LC3

Too bad her skin isn’t for sale!

If you’ve been patiently waiting for the new MAC Mattene collection that was scheduled to hit counters today—you’re, sadly, going to have to wait one more week.

The new release date is now October 4.

In the mean time—since we’ve had an opportunity to preview this collection—we’ll tell you about our favorites:

Composure, a neutral bronze plum, is semi-matte and SO flattering for our skin tone.

Classic Dame, the shade Dita Von Teese is wearing here (with gloss over), is gorgeous. Love.

Immodest, a bright magenta, is the color Bree swears she’ll wear to the Homecoming dance on Saturday as it matches her dress perfectly. We’ll see if she’s brave enough—as her lip gloss MO is pale, pale, pale.

Watch for these next week!

Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Red Collection has a shade of red lipstick for every skin tone.

Available online now, this collection of five vivid red shades, ranging from neutral to deep, were developed to enhance every complexion. The star of this collection is RD165, a true red created by Shu Uemura that’s suitable for every woman’s skin tone.

• RD165 Deep Classic Red
• RD175 Deep Raspberry Red
• RD195 Mid-tone Berry Red
• RD198 Rich Garnet Red
• RD292 Deep Sangria Red

Being partial to cool reds, we’re thinking Rich Garnet Red (RD198) and Deep Sangria Red (RD292) will be our favorites.
