Feb 9, 2012 >> Red Hot!: Holly shares her favorite Red Lipstick

Red makes a statement. It demands attention! And studies show that women who wear red attract more men. Don’t believe me? Google it! Or better yet, try it! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I couldn’t find a better time to divulge my most favorite and most decadent red Chanel lipsticks.

If you’ve never tried a Chanel lip product—Valentine’s Day would be the perfect excuse! They never leave me disappointed.

ONE>> CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE VELVET
Luminous Matte Lip Color #38 La Fascinante
This bold red will not only turn heads, but also can go the extra mile with its long wearability. Bold and punchy as the color may be, it is still a practical and neutral red that can be worn by even the most demure at heart.

TWO>> CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE EXTRAIT DE GLOSS
Pure Shine Intense Color Long Wear Lip Gloss #60 Exces
For those who feel that they can’t wear red, my advice? Try a red gloss. A gloss allows for your lips to show through. While this one still makes a statement, its gel texture leaves lips comfortable, not sticky or tacky. Its beveled applicator allows for ultra-precise application so you can even forgo a lip pencil if you like.

THREE>> CHANEL ROUGE COCO
Hydrating Crème Lip Color #19 Gabrielle
This is a modern twist on a classic, traditional cream lip color. Chanel.com says it best: “[Chanel Rouge Coco] features a Hydratendre complex to help soften, soothe and condition lips—even boosting their ability to hold in moisture—for a plumper, smoother and healthier-looking appearance.” It’s my #1 choice by far!
