NARS 15th Anniversary Wild At Heart Palette

Lip shades included are Baby Doll Lip Lacquer (what I’m wearing in the photo below), Red Lezard lipstick, Manhunt lipstick, and Fire Down Below lipstick. Shadows include Abyssinia, Alhambra, Ashes to Ashes, and Pandora.

Leighten Meester’s Favorite Red Lip: L’Oreal Infallible Plumping Gloss in Plumped Red

My red lip color of choice at the moment is Plumped Red from L’Oreal’s Infallible Plumping 6-Hr Plumping Lip Gloss collection. The color feedback is rich yet customizable: two coats gives you a sheerer red with shimmer and four coats imparts more of what Gossip Girl Leighton Meester’s pout looks like here:

It’s true — Leighton, too, loves Plumped Red. As stated in my original review of L’Oreal Infallible Plumping Gloss, the best thing is that Plumped Red will work with your natural undertone, thus leaving a perfect red tint on your own lips.

Infallible Gloss in Plumped Red is perfect if you want to purchase a new red but don’t want to spend hours perusing the makeup counters for one that will actually work with your skintone. The hours you save not doing that, you can add on to the expected wear-time of Infallible Gloss: the tint should remain for at least 2-3 hours, even after drinks or butterfly kisses.

Find L’Oreal Infallible Plumping 6-Hr Gloss at drugstores, drugstore.com, and at mass retailers.
