Other than red lipstick

You find Ruby Woo to be pale? That's a new one on me... It's one of their amplified shades, and people usually think it's too bright.

Agreed, it's nice & bright, wears well but the colour but doesn't suit me. I have rosacea & ruby woo seems to bring out the red tones in my skin - not a good look.

Most likely because its an orange/coral red (It doesn't look nice on me, either.) But I bet you do well with blue reds!

I may as well add my .02: Other than bright blue red and wine red, I like topaz-y shades (MAC's "O") and the occasional pink. Purple is another popular non-red option - Personally, I don't like the way it looks on me, but it looks great on Kay Starr:

imo ruby woo isn't worth the money. I tried it on again yesterday and it looked pinkish on me so, back to storage. My grandmother and mother wore revlon, max factor..

^ I had the same experience with Revlon Cherries in the Snow. I wanted to love it, but it was *way* too pink for me.

I can't wear Cherries in the Snow either, it turned magenta on me!

My every day red is MAC "MAC Red" the other lippes that I reach for most often are MAC "Viva Cindy" which is essentially my lips but better, Revlon Matte in Strawberry Suede & In The Red and occasionally MAC in Vegas Volt. I also really like Lipstick Queen Medieval for a sheer red that feels more moisturising than lippy but isn't quite a balm or gloss.

I just LOVE being a brunette with pale skin! I can wear any color and even though I may not like the color, it still looks good tee hee!

I like Cherries In The Snow too although it seems strange at first because I'm so used to reds.

I also use Rimmel Tell No One for day wear:

It's cheap, a pretty coral colour and is really moisturising. It also smells good! It's not high quality but it does the job for something to put on quickly in the day.

Nobody can wear any colour. For example, generally brunettes with pale skin don't do too well with warm, "dirty" colours, depending on the warmth/coolness of your hair.

Pale skin also comes in different undertones - tawny, pink, blue etc. - and each one has colours that complement and clash with it.

I like Cherries in the Snow but can't wear it full on. Waaay too pink. So I blot it down pretty good and like the color quite a bit.

I tried two new lipsticks from the chart that was posted on the second page about Revlon shades.
Matte Stormy Pink and Luminous Pink which was a Pearl.
They were both pretty awful. The Matte barely had any pigment power, so even though I didn't mind the color I couldn't get it to show up very well.

The other one was a pale pearl pink and used all over just reminded me of bad 80s frosted lipstick or was that more of a 90s color? Either way, wasn't good! Returned this morning.

It's not what Lady GaGa wears, it's the color that MAC and Lady Gaga came together for breast cancer awareness month.

Even when she's doing charity work for breast cancer?

As someone with breast cancer & who loves vintage, i am thankful that Lady Ga Ga got involved with MAC. For her to lend her name to raise money for the cause is just fabulous from where I sit.

I feel the same, although I am not a breast cancer survivor. The money from her beige lipstick went to AIDS research. I am proud to say I own both. She has the power to do something and she is. Good on her!

What is the red lipstick that Lady Gaga wears in the Alejandro video? It looks very vintage.

A quick google search just said it was most likely a MAC shade, but did not specify which one. I'm on my slooooow work computer, though
