Shiseido Lipstick Red 514 Dragon applied

And on that fateful day
When she was crucified
She wore Shiseido Red


I love this red. The Perfect Rouge formulation is excellent - creamy but not too glossy, so it doesn't feather.  The colour is a clear neutral red, but it isn't too loud (Kevyn Aucoin Poppia is almost too bright for me, for example) This jumps straight into my top 5 red lipsticks.

Extra gingerbread biscuits for you if you can name the singer/songwriter without looking it up. I love her.

  1. a stunning red! might have to investigate this one. the formulation of these is fab I agree - i tried one of the perfect rouges in a kind of heathery colour, forget name, but was gorgeous and have been meaning to go back and get it for a while.

  4. ...looks beautiful. The only person that pops into my head immediately is Florence and the Machine...but I think it's the red connotations too!

  5. Hi Amina - the texture of these is lovely. I also have the Rose Bronze that was a Nordstrom exclusive, beautiful colour.

    Hi Cocomia - thank you. I love this colour.

    Hey Michelle - you'll kick yourself when someone gets it ;) Lovely red, would be fantastic on you.

    Hi Moodeve, no, not Florence... :)

  6. That's lovely. I'm a Shiseido girl (It's the #1 brand in Germany) and I mostly wear the perfecting lipstick in p13, cool red. I find all shiseido lipsticks quite lightweight and p13 is more like a red gloss. I might have to try this one when I've got over my Ellis Faas fixation!

  9. ...and we drank tea by her side

    I have even more of a blog crush now I know you also love Tori.

    Mohammed my friend
    It's time to tell the world
    We both know it was a girl
    Back in Bethlehem

    That colour looks beautiful against your skin tone, by the way.

  10. Hi Munichjoolz - I didn't realise Shiseido was so popular in Germany, that's interesting. The Perfect Rouge is a lovely formulation, but enjoy your lovely Ellis Faas first :)

    Hi Tackyblueyeshadow - thank you. x

    Hey Conny - well, it's PJ Harvey-ish, but not quite... :) This formulation is well worth a look, some lovely reds in it. x

  11. ...and it's biscuits for Claire!! Yes, I absolutely adore Tori. Love her music, and her complete boldness and bravery of spirit. Lovely to know that you love Tori too :)

  14. Hi BBB - it's a fab red, really love the texture of these too. Dick Page is doing very good things with Shiseido; Spring 2010 looks beautiful.
