Revlon was founded in 1937 and remains one of the most trusted and successful cosmetic companies in the world. Although the company initially offered only nail polish, they have since expanded their product lines to face powders, blushes, eyeshadows, and of course, lipsticks. Today, Revlon’s Super Lustrous line alone has nearly 100 shades but of all the colors that the company came up with, there are two colors that are standouts. Find out why these Revlon lipstick colors are popular and why you should choose them to wear them.

Cherries in the Snow

The shade Cherries in the Snow came out in 1953. This was the time when matching lipsticks and nails started to become a practice. It is unarguably a stunner, the kind of color that refuses to be ignored. As its name implies, it is a cherry red shade infused with a lovely pink. This is an unapologetic fuschia red that is the perfect complement to skin with blue or cool undertones. The vibrant red is perfect for both day wear and night wear. If the color is a bit too bright in daytime, simply apply a smidgen or blot with a tissue.

Wearers of Cherries in the Snow praise its texture as well. It glides smoothly over clean lips and has wonderful moisturizing characteristics. It stays on for hours and is the kind of lippy you’d wear for dinner with confidence. It fades a bit after a meal but the pigments that remain on your lips will stay true.

Fire & Ice

If there is one lipstick that can seriously compete with the popularity of Cherries in the Snow, it’s Fire & Ice. Born in 1952, Fire & Ice came out through a revolutionary ad the same year. Prior to its advent, lipstick manufacturers often touted the power of lipstick to attract and snag a man. With Fire & Ice, it was simply about the woman, about her taking charge of her femininity. For the first time, the lipstick a woman chose to wear let her put her personality under the spotlight.

Marketing spiel aside, this famous Revlon lipstick stood the test of time for many reasons. First, it is an iconic shade that has captured the imagination of generations of women. Second, it is a shade that works with either cool or warm skin tones – a rarity for even the most popular reds. This is a true red, the kind of shade that is as bold as the woman who wears it.
