The low saturation brownish red, Marsala, is undoubtedly the most popular color of this fall in Korea. The boom rose due to the makeup in a cover photo of Miss A’s Suzy. Marsala looks great on every skin tone so go ahead and try the feminine, romantic, and sexy look with my recommendation of lip products!

低飽和度的的啡紅色，Marsala，無疑是今個秋季在韓國最流行的顏色。在Miss A的秀智一次的封面拍攝中，美麗的妝容配上Marsala唇色，從此便讓這顏色牽起了一熱潮。不管什麼膚色的女生，都能和這種唇色配合得天衣無縫，所以現在就立刻試用我們介紹的唇部產品，去打造一個的既女性化，又浪漫性感的妝容吧！

Mac – Chili

Let’s start off with the ultimate number one, known as Suzy’s lipstick, Mac Chili. Mac Chili was not sold in Korea until recently and before, people would order it online from overseas even with all the hassle and shipping payment just to get their hands on it! Even now, after it got its release in Korea, so many people have already reserved the product. As popular as Mac Chili is, the color is rich and looks amazing with natural makeup. The funny thing is that this is not the actual lipstick used in Suzy’s photo shoot, just like Cheon Song Yi’s YSL lipstick.

首先，當然是介紹紅人榜第一位的唇膏，亦即是秀智所用的唇膏－Mac Chili。這支唇膏是最近才被引入韓國，之前大家都只能從海外的網站購買，還要經過一系列繁複的步驟才能把這心頭好拿到手呢。即使是現在，Mac Chili在韓國開賣後，亦都有大量顧客的訂單，可説是人氣度爆燈。Mac Chili的顏色豐盈，配搭自然妝容的話，效果一流。而有趣的是，其實這不是在拍攝當天秀智所用的唇膏，但卻如千頌依的YSL唇膏般，照樣爆紅。

The Saem – Bittersweet Chocolate

The Saem Eco Soul Kiss Button Lips Matte in color Bittersweet Chocolate is the most famous dupe for Mac Chili. In fact, it is cheaper – one third of the original Mac Chili. Eco Soul Kiss Button Lips has a button in the end where you can press it once and the product will come out. This action is not reversible so make sure you press it only once before using. Similar to Mac Chili, it is matte but applies smoothly. However the color is slightly different as Bittersweet Chocolate has a more burgundy undertone whereas Chili is more orangey. Mac is light weight and applies more evenly. On the other side, Bittersweet Chocolate applies with more moisture but doesn’t stay that long on your lips.

如果你想找比Mac Chili的價錢更相宜的產品，The Saem的Eco Soul 系列中，名為Bittersweet Chocolate的顏色是最受歡迎的代替品。實際上，這款唇膏相對地較便宜，售價約是Mac Chili的三分之一。Eco Soul Kiss Button Lips的唇膏末端有一顆按鈕，只需輕輕一按，便會彈出適合的分量，十分方便。但麻煩之處就是一按了就不能退回，可以要小心使用。而與Mac Chili相似，它一樣能達到啞緻的效果，而具質感柔滑。在顔色上兩者卻有點不同，Bittersweet Chocolate的色調偏向酒紅色，而Mac Chili則偏橙，並且比較輕身，塗抹時會比較均匀。雖然Bittersweet Chocolate滋潤度很高，但唇色卻不夠持久。

Nars – Dolce Vita

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in color Dolce Vita is a dusty dried rose shade. The perfect MLBB (My Lips But Better) color because of its neutral combination of beige, pink, and red. It is also very convenient because of its jumbo crayon design. The color payoff is great and applies smoothly with a velvety matte finish while looking natural. Dolce Vita has a very light weight texture so it goes well with mixture of other lip products as well. For instance, applying a darker shape in the inner lips for a two-tone effect would also look brilliant. Because of its natural color and finish, it looks gorgeous with a no-makeup makeup look.

Nars絲絨唇線筆系列中，Dolce Vita的顏色就如玫瑰乾花。這是最佳的MLBB (My Lips But Better) 的唇色，因為它自然地混合合裸色、粉紅和紅色。它的包裝設計就如一枝爉筆，方便又好看。而且這產品的顯色度亦十分高，質感柔滑，同時能打造自然並且啞緻如絲絨的雙唇。Dolce Vita質感十分輕身，所以易於混合其它產品一起使用。例如以較深色的唇膏塗在唇膏中間，再用Dolce Vita，就能輕易地達到出色的雙唇色效果。由於它的顔色和塗抹效果都較自然，所以十分適合配襯裸妝。

Mamonde – Velvet Red

Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense in color Velvet Red is another bestseller of this fall. It is also known as the dupe of Mac Chili and Nars Dolce Vita. However, it is definitely more toned down than Chili. Comparing it to Dolce Vita, it is more reddish, dark and reminds me of the actual brick color. Velvet Red’s texture cannot compete with the unique application of Dolce Vita’s but it is still a very great lip product, especially for its price.

Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense系列中，紅絲絨顏色的唇膏都是今個秋季最受歡迎的産品，亦可當作是Mac Chili和Nars Dolce Vita的替身。但是它的顔色明顯地比Mac Chili較暗沉，另外亦比Dolce Vita更紅、更深，甚至有點像磚紅色。這唇膏的質感雖不及Dolce Vita，但在這價格看來，絕對都是一款很不錯的産品！

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick – 890 HD Dahlia

Lastly, my personal finding, Revlon’s Dahlia. Revlon Ultra HD lip product line was recently released in Korea. Its special ‘Gel Technology’ gives off the gel texture that glides smoothly on the lips as you apply. The color payoff is fabulous and due to cocoa oil and mango seed butter, it keeps your lips moisturized all day long. It is a dark brick shade but more of a deep red compare to Mac Chili. Those who do not like the velvet matte texture should definitely try out the Revlon HD lipstick. I highly recommend it.

Revlon Ultra HD是最近才在韓國發售的系列，而筆者就發掘了系列中的Dahlia。獨特的無蠟啫喱科技為雙唇帶來如啫喱的輕柔質感，塗抹時亦十分順滑。上色效果十分出眾，而且由於成份裏加入了椰子油、芒果和乳木果，能令雙唇維持滋潤一整天。Dahila是較類似磚紅色，比起Mac Chili更為深紅。如果不喜歡絲絨質感的話，不妨試試Revlon Ultra唇膏。筆者高度推介呢！
