Ooh! I think you can see Pat McGrath’s influence behind the colour selection for the Max Factor Marilyn Monroe Lipstick Collection – these are strong and powerful shades, and better still, they are skin tone specific (including dark tones) so it’s hard to go wrong.
In the swatch, from bottom to top: Ruby Red (the original Marilyn shade) Cabernet (dark tones), Sunset Red (warm tones) and Berry (cool tones). Pat herself uses Cabernet to compliment her skin tone. The Max Factor Marilyn Monroe Lipstick Collection launches at Boots in January for £7.99 each. The pigment is good without being scary, the formula is ‘glidey’ and comfortable but I haven’t tested for longevity, and the finish is a light sheen.
With the red casing, all the glamour associated with Hollywood icon, Marilyn, I think these reds are infinitely wearable at any age and it’s great that the collection is tone inclusive. Let’s face it, winter is just slightly better with red lipstick.

I have one lipstick from MaxFactor & love it! These shades look stunning. It was very smart of them to bring out a collection that caters for different skin tones & labels them to make it easy to choose your perfect shade. I will definitely be picking myself up some of these (possibly all of them!). Xx

Love red lipstick but don’t wear it often- these look like just the thing to help with that!
