She was the lead artist who created the bespoke MAC shade for the pop icon’s run of unforgettable shows in 1990. “I do remember it was early 1990 that Madonna and I visited MAC’s Frank & Frank’s store in Canada to choose colors for her,” says Joanne Gair, Madonna’s makeup artist for the artist’s “Blond Ambition” tour, says. MAC’s Russian Red, as worn by Madonna during her “Blond Ambition” tour in 1990.

Elizabeth Taylor famously counseled women to “pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.” (Incidentally, she was a die-hard fan for years of Elizabeth Arden’s Rouge lipstick and, years later, MAC’s Ruby Woo.) In honor of the power red lipstick has to inspire, we’re celebrating this Valentine’s Day with the stories behind some of the most iconic red lipstick moments in pop culture history-as told by the makeup artists who created them. Red lipstick connotes power, and has the ability to uplift your mood and make you feel alive. For years science has well documented the fact that seeing the color red sends signals to the brain ideas of sexual attractiveness. Choosing red often intimates a chic, confident, and sexy vibe.

Wearing red lipstick has always meant more than just a logical color match for your wardrobe. Who am I to argue with the Blondie legend when it comes to red lipstick decorum? Her iconic on-and-off stage beauty looks, after all, were constant, indelible perfection-in part due to the fact that she never shied away from a bold red lip (accompanied, of course, by layers of sexy blonde locks swooped over one eye and a fierce jolt of confidence). The shades are amazing.“The rules for wearing red lipstick are that there are no rules, just like in Fight Club,” Debbie Harry tells me over e-mail when I ask her to describe the ethos behind her standout makeup looks. It does not get transferred to clothes or cups. Apart from the price factor, I do not have any complaints. Spending Rs.1400 on a lipcolour is too much for me. I mean I can get a pro longwear foundation for Rs.1700 that would last me about 2 years. But the price is too high for a lipcolour. I like the concept very much and very satisfied with the results it gives. You need an oil-based cleanser to clean this off your skin. The Pro Longwear Lipcolour really does what it claims to do, it has unbelievably long staying power. Makes the color stay longer.However the topcoat fades away in sometime and you need to keep applying it whenever the lips are dry. This settles the lipcolour and also provides instant shine. I let it dry for 1 minute and then apply the mirror shine coat on top. I apply lip balm first, then little bit of this lipcolour as too much of it would be drying.
