This is a pink red. Not an actual red. I wanted to try the redness I see from the product. But when I applied it it became much brighter. I think I was lucky that I bought this instead of something...

If you're not sure about wearing red, like I was, then this is a great red to start with. It's a rich shade of red, but not too bold/bright and wears sheer like a tinted balm. Makes me feel pretty...

Let's get this out of the way first: Medieval is not a red lipstick. A beautiful sheer, yes. My lips but better, absolutely. But "universally flattering red"? That's poppycock, pun...

I’m on my 4th or 5th one - have been using it for several years. It is very sheer and more like a stain but the texture is smooth without being greasy. Also it has no smell which is a plus. There’s...

lovely texture and sheer application, but I just wasn't feeling the shade. Universal shades never seem to work for me. This one doesn't have enough blue in it to flatter me. And although the...

I really like this lip color, and I've found that (for me) the best way to apply it is to lightly dab it onto the lips until you build up the shade you want. The first time I applied it, I smeared...

I bought this because it sounded really great but as others have said, it isn't red. It's berry. And I knew it wasn't lipstick. Wanna get that out of the way first. It is nice on your lips but...

Lipstick Queen as a brand is kinda hitting it out of the park for me. Their lipstick formula is everything I could want out of a lipstick—in that the ones I've tried feel like lip balm and are not...

I love this! I'm on my second tube and will continue to buy it as a staple unless LQ reformulates it! If you buy it expecting a "lipstick," you'll be disappointed. I'd really call it more of a...

Beautiful color (a rosey - winery red with real depth), non matte, smooth, moist lipstick BUT it doesn't last. It reminds me of Clinique's black honey in texture but in a much more flattering...

Medieval is marketed as being the perfect sheer red for all skin tones. I found it to be kind of an unflattering bright orangey-red on me. For a sheer lipstick I found the formula to be...

Some readers here have called this a glorified lip balm, and I would tend to agree. But wow, what a lip balm it is. It does apply so smoothly and feels so luxurious I can't help but love it. A...
