“Haute Colour” should really read “Hot Colour” for that is what Red Muse #444 is. A hot red lipstick.
The whole brand-name-etched-on-the-lipstick thing may be a wee bit old by now, but I still love the look of any etched lipstick 😀
I’m a huge fan of Dior lipsticks – they were my first high end lipsticks when I started with Dior Addict and they have remained a firm favourite. Rouge Dior is the more pigmented version but I must confess to never really taking a shine to Rouge Dior, because it was always a little “old”. The texture was heavier than Dior Addict lipsticks and the colours stronger.
Last year, Dior did something absolutely wonderful. They overhauled their Rouge Dior line of lipsticks and the result is a beautiful range of creamy, silky, pigmented lipsticks that are stars on every front.
Red Muse is the signature red lipstick of the collection. One swipe produces nice pigmented colour that does not look heavy on the lips at all. The texture is very light on the skin and there is no fragrance nor does it feel waxy. The best part is that although is applies very creamy, it does not slip and slide everywhere and it wears well. Oh and it isn’t drying, unlike Chanel Rouge Coco. I love my Rouge Coco, but they do tend to get a bit drying on the lips.
In terms of colour, Red Muse, unlike its name swatches with a slight pink undertone that surprised me, but which I enjoyed very much.
Wear it with a neutral eye and softly flushed cheeks, and let the lips lead the eye 😀
Pros: Lightweight formula, Creamy but not drying, Pigmented colour, Applies like a dream
Cons: Pricey
Of course, Red Muse is the most extreme of the colours available. If you haven’t yet found your perfect red, go and take a look at this one. It might just sway you. I have also found colours to love in other more wearable shades so I might tell you about those next time 😀
Have you tried the new formula Dior Rouge lipsticks? Did you know they were made to match Dior’s classic dresses? Now that’s marrying fashion and makeup!

Dior Rouge Dior lipsticks retail at RM95 at all Dior Cosmetic counters.
This looks gorgeous on you! I doubt it’ll work on my skin tone though. But it definitely is a gorgeous colour!
Happy Chinese New Year to you, by the way! 🙂
Thank you Nadia! Happy Chinese New Year to you too!
Very pretty! Which blush were you wearing? The lipstick goes very well with it!
Thanks Connie! Its the Guerlain Blush G Serie Noir blush 😛
I love Dior lipsticks too! I love the Dior’s Serum De Rouge. I will give this Red Muse a try soon. Thanks for sharing Paris!
Yay I love love all Dior lippies and the Serum de Rouge is definitely a decadent splurge that is so worth it! 😀 Do try these new Rouge Dior lippies. They have the similar texture to Serum de Rouge but more pigmented.
i love dior’s lipsticks too! especially after being re-acquainted when they launched the serum de rouge. managed to get my hands on many sample sizes PWP and realised that dior’s lippies are so suitable for my dry and sensitive lips. after our ‘red lips’ gathering, i am now wandering away to find the right red shade for me… might try this one 🙂
YES! Dior lippies are the best ever. I don’t know why I don’t have more instead of hopping around trying others. Oh yeah I do know why. I’m a curious cat 😉 You look amazing in red lips Juan – definitely give the Dior range a try and see if you find one in there 😀
Great lippie for the first day of CNY!! ^.^ And its a red/pink!! OOO! ^.^
Yeah I might pull this one out for the first day. At least the rest of the face will be easy to settle LOL!
Vavavoom! Awesome colour, me likes!
Me likes too! 😉 Thanks!
thou lookest beeyootiful!!!
altho i still have not ventured into the lipstick segment yet, and probably never will.
Alaa… you will! It lasts longer and you don’t need to wear a bright red 😉 Thanks!
I think of buying one red lipstics for cny. Try the red muse but the color not suit me. However, didn’t go with empty hand. I bought rose chic which look nice on my skin tone. Love the texture of the lipstick. If thinking of buying lipstick should give dior rouge a try. U won’t regret. I may be purchase another one. 🙂
Ooh Rose Chic sounds so pretty! I love Dior lipstick names 🙂 You’re right about trying Dior Rouge – its so hard to walk away with just one
Love the pink undertone- I think I could almost manage this one!
I’m sure you could! 🙂 Its a very pretty pink-red 🙂
That looks gorgeous on you! I’m not sure I could pull it off but I’m interested in checking out other colors from the range. Thanks for the review.
Thank you Gio. There are lots of other more wearable everyday colours in the range. I’m sure you’ll find one you like 😉
Ooh, it looks somewhat fuchsia-ish but is gorgeous still! I bought Dior lipsticks to my friends, but I’ve never worn one myself, can you believe it? I think I feel a bit guilty about splurging on myself.^^ But I’ll surely buy one someday – and it’ll be a red one.
You are so generous to your friends! Its time you pampered yourself with a Dior lippie – go on… for your birthday maybe? 🙂
Wow! Red Muse suits you so well. Great for CNY. Happy CNY!
Thank you! Think of trying it? 😉
It looks so classic and stylish.
It is! 😀 Would you try it? 😀
You have beautiful skin. O_O
I love how the pink undertone somehow makes the red a little more wearable, but still bold and bright!
Thank you Kari 🙂 The pink tone was a little surprising but as you said, it made the red a touch easier to wear 🙂
One of my friend wanted to buy Dior Rouge Red but we couldn’t find the colour anywhere….I don’t mind buying this lipstick because RM98 and if its last for me for six month it’s definitely worth it….
