I bought this under the impression that it was a brown based red. It pulls very blue on my and therefore looks horrible. I will not repurchase.

BEST RED EVER. I’m into variety, with my lipsticks, jewelry, and fragrances. However, if I had to pick one lipstick for that hypothetical “desert island,” it would be VG1 with no hesitation! It’s a...

This shade is amazing and it really suits my skin tone. It's not that long lasting and it fades after some time while it dries my lips! I put lip balm beneath but it still dry my lips. It bleeds on...

I'm in the minority here but this lipstick did not work for me. EXTREMELY drying (it sucked ALL the moisture that existed in my lips), feathered and bled and after an hour it looked like I had...

This is a mid toned, neutral red on my NC42 complexion. It doesn't lean too cool or two warm, which makes it a great red to match different eye makeup and so on. It's a matte formulation and kind...

An everyday wearable red. A red with a muted brown undertone to it. So gorgeous and perfect to just throw on and head out the door. Matte finish but not drying, it is still creamy and hydrating on...

This is my HG red lipstick. For a light-medium, yellowish undertone skin, this muted brownish-red shade is perfect! Cannot reccommend it enough for those with similar skintones as mine. I actually...

Love this lipstick. Such a great red shade, especially for people like me who don't like their reds too bright. It's also JUST dark enough, for those who don't like overly vampy colors. Good matte...

If you're Asian or have strong yellow or olive tones and are wondering if this would be flattering, I'd say do it. This is a very beautiful dark deep red with a hint of brown. Very retro red. Looks...
